Actuarial Executive Development Program - Early Career Professional
As a member of Cigna's Actuarial Executive Development Program (AEDP) you will take your existing analytical and technical skills and put them to work in a business setting, making a difference for millions across the globe! The AEDP develops student actuaries into financial business leaders.
You will develop through rotational opportunities in core actuarial areas such as pricing, reserving, forecasting, and risk management. Additionally, program associates explore opportunities in audit, data & analytics, investment management and operations. A typical experience consists of 3 to 4 rotations, lasting 18-24 months, totaling a full program length of 5-7 years. After graduating from the program, you can continue to rotate throughout the organization into different roles to further grow your career.
Your first rotation might be...in our Individual and Family Plans business where you would be the market pricing lead responsible for pricing individual plans that appear on the individual exchanges. Or you could be placed in our pharmacy economics department where you would analyze pharmacy cost and utilization metrics in order to drive savings for our clients and customers. These are just a few examples of the wide variety of opportunities Cigna offers in both traditional and non-traditional actuarial roles.
While your career path is ultimately in your hands, the AEDP will help guide you along your journey. The AEDP has a dedicated program team, including two credentialed FSAs, that work with associates to help identify job and professional development opportunities, support your attainment of the Fellowship in the Society of Actuaries, and provide leadership and professional insight to the AEDP’s 160+ members.
As a program associate, you will join a large, welcoming community of actuaries who are readily available to teach and mentor you. Our community — from senior executives to current associates — are committed to providing one-on-one career advice and having discussions about their roles and experience in the health services industry.
