Entry Level Actuary Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level actuary job?
Start by passing at least one actuarial exam before you apply, as most entry level roles expect Exam P or Exam FM at minimum. Internship experience in insurance, consulting, or finance strengthens your application significantly. Employers at this level also look for strong spreadsheet and statistical software skills, so coursework or self-directed projects that demonstrate analytical ability can give you a real edge over candidates without them.
Which companies hire entry level actuarys?
Companies hiring entry level actuarys right now include Deloitte, Arthur J. Glatfelter Agency, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of major insurance carriers, actuarial consulting firms, and financial services companies, many of which run formal entry level analyst programs designed specifically for new graduates.
Are there remote entry level actuary jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor in-office or hybrid arrangements. About 33% of entry level actuary openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with fully remote positions more common at larger insurance carriers and consulting firms that have established distributed team structures. On-site roles remain prevalent because early-career actuaries often benefit from mentorship and exam study support provided in person.
Are these new grad actuary jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior actuary roles. A posting is generally new grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op placements toward that requirement, or accepts a strong academic record alongside one or two passed actuarial exams in place of full-time work history. Searching for new grad or junior in job titles can help you narrow the results further.
Which industries hire the most entry level actuarys?
Entry Level actuary roles concentrate in Insurance, Consulting & Professional Services, and Accounting & Auditing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive the majority of entry level hiring because they rely on actuarial analysis for pricing, reserving, and risk modeling functions that require steady pipeline programs to develop junior talent from the ground up.
