Actuary Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a actuary in Ohio?

Becoming an actuary in Ohio starts with a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or statistics, followed by passing preliminary exams administered by the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society. Ohio does not require a state-issued license to work as an actuary, but employers expect candidates to be actively pursuing a professional designation such as Associate of the Society of Actuaries or Associate of the Casualty Actuarial Society as they gain work experience.

Which companies hire actuarys in Ohio?

Employers hiring actuarys in Ohio right now include Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, Pryor Associates, and Authentic, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Ohio's deep insurance industry presence, anchored by major carriers and benefit consulting firms headquartered in Columbus and Cincinnati, means actuarial openings arise regularly across both established corporations and regional insurers.

Which Ohio cities have the most actuary jobs?

Columbus, Ohio, and Dayton are the Ohio cities with the most actuary openings. Columbus leads due to the concentration of large insurance carriers like Nationwide headquartered there, Cincinnati draws consistent demand from companies like Cincinnati Financial and a strong benefits consulting sector, and Cleveland supports actuarial roles through regional health insurers and financial services firms.

Are there remote actuary jobs in Ohio?

Yes, and more than most fields, since actuarial work is desk-based and largely analytical. About 75% of actuary openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how well the role adapts to distributed work. Pricing, reserving, and modeling roles are the most likely to be fully remote, while client-facing consulting and team-lead positions more often require some in-office presence.

How can I get hired as a actuary in Ohio with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for actuarial student or analyst roles at Ohio's large insurance carriers, which typically hire candidates who have passed one or two preliminary exams even without full-time actuarial experience. Employers like Nationwide and Progressive run structured actuarial development programs in Columbus that rotate new hires through pricing, reserving, and product teams. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in data analysis, underwriting, or financial modeling can also transition in, and holding even a single passed exam alongside a quantitative degree gives a meaningful edge in screening.

Where can I find and apply to actuary jobs in Ohio?

You can find and apply to actuary jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings from employers actively hiring. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your experience and specialty area, and apply directly to each position.
