Make an impact where strategy meets numbers
Are you an FP&A professional who enjoys turning financial results into a clear, compelling story? Do you like digging into the “why” behind performance—and partnering with others to improve how results are forecasted, explained, and used to drive decisions?
As a Financial Business Partner supporting Voluntary Benefits Products and Expenses, you’ll play a meaningful role in shaping the financial story of Securian Financial’s growing business. You’ll analyze earnings, expenses, and forecasts, collaborate with subject matter experts across Finance, Strategy, Sales, Pricing, and Actuarial teams, and help leaders understand how product performance and expenses come together to drive results.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a few years of experience who wants broader exposure, ownership of analysis, and visibility to leadership—while continuing to build strong technical and business acumen.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll support Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) for Group Insurance Voluntary Benefits Products and Expenses, with a mix of recurring analysis, forecasting, and continuous improvement work.
Key responsibilities include:
Own and analyze Voluntary Benefits earnings by source, explaining quarterly results and deviations from goals in a clear, business-focused way
Develop the quarterly Voluntary Benefits “financial story”—connecting premium performance, earnings, and expense results into dashboards and presentations for leadership and business partners
Support Voluntary Benefits valuation activities, including active life reserve and Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC) calculations
Assist with Voluntary Benefits projections for annual goal-setting and long-range planning cycles
Serve as a subject matter expert for new Voluntary Benefits financial reports and tools
Assist in analyzing and enhancing expense pricing models and allocation frameworks
Perform monthly and quarterly expense analysis, including reporting and variance explanations
Support expense forecasting and annual budgeting processes for the entire Employee Benefits Solutions Group
Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (Finance, Strategy, Sales, Pricing, Expense, and Actuarial teams) to understand key financial drivers and support growth initiatives
Support Group Insurance market plan modeling, including work within actuarial modeling platforms
Identify opportunities to improve and automate reporting and forecasting, aligning with broader finance and actuarial modernization efforts
What we’re looking for
You’re someone who is comfortable working with data, curious about the business behind the numbers, and motivated to keep improving how financial insights are delivered.
Required qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or a related field
Around 3 years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, or a related role
Strong Excel skills, including experience working with large or complex files
Solid understanding of basic financial and accounting concepts
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities while meeting deadlines
Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in a team environment
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including explaining results to non-finance partners
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and expense tracking
Exposure to SAP or similar financial systems
Knowledge of insurance or financial services, especially group or voluntary benefits
Experience with actuarial or financial modeling tools (e.g., Prophet)
Interest in process improvement, automation, and modern FP&A practices
Why this role stands out
Ownership early in your career – You’ll own meaningful analysis and be trusted to explain results
High collaboration and visibility – Work closely with experienced professionals across Finance, Actuarial, Strategy, and Sales
Storytelling with numbers – Go beyond reporting to help leaders understand what’s driving performance
Growth and development – Build deeper FP&A, insurance, and business partnering skills in a supportive environment
Purpose-driven work – Support products that help employees protect what matters most
