Actuary at the Swedish Pensions Agency

The Swedish Pensions Agency (SPV) is one of Sweden's largest providers of pension services. We manage occupational pensions and insurance for employers in the public sector and have over 1,100,000 customers, including current and former public employees and pensioners. Our office is located in Sundsvall.

Join us and create social value. We are an authority that aims to make occupational pensions simple for everyone who is or has been a public employee. Our focus is on our customers, proactivity, and innovation. We believe that working together across the organization is a key to delivering high-quality work.

We are now looking for an actuary to strengthen our team working with Analysis and Insurance Technology.

RESPONSIBILITIES

SPV is responsible for matters concerning public occupational pensions and the state group life insurance. The agency has the overall responsibility for calculating actuarially correct costs for the obligations that authorities and other employers connected to the state contractual insurances have towards their employees, as well as for calculating the total insurance value of such obligations.

In 2024, SPV paid out 14 billion SEK in defined benefit pensions within the insurance model. During the same year, 22 billion SEK was paid in premiums to the pension operations, and the actuarial provisions amounted to 367 billion SEK at the end of the year.

SPV's pension operations are divided into two parts: public pension operations and assignment-based pension operations. In the public pension operations, SPV is responsible for the administration of public occupational pensions and group life insurance according to collective agreements in the public sector or according to regulations and laws. In the assignment-based operations, SPV manages pension operations for certain public entities that have been corporatized and for certain organizations closely linked to public operations.
