• Support business development by building actuarial client relationships and own end-to-end actuarial analytic functions relating to a portfolio of national payer clients.
• Partner with actuarial and finance leadership to support financial reconciliations and performance reviews, including preparing analysis outputs and presenting results to executive audiences.
• Develop, run, and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate healthcare claims and operational data used in actuarial analyses and performance estimates.
• Perform ad hoc and exploratory data analyses to investigate performance trends, identify drivers of over- or under-performance, and surface actionable insights for internal stakeholders.
• Evaluate the reasonableness and sensitivity of model outputs, proactively identifying data quality issues, assumptions, or emerging risks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with analytics, clinical, and operations teams to ensure alignment between data, models, and real-world workflows.
• Contribute to the improvement and automation of actuarial processes and analytical pipelines as the organization scales, helping to establish best practices in a start-up environment.

• Experience using SQL or another structured coding language to pull and transform healthcare data from large databases
• Proficiency in writing clean, efficient code and ability to troubleshoot and review code written by yourself or others
• Experience working with claim-level datasets

Requirements

• Strong communication skills and ability to articulate results, solutions, and recommendations to internal stakeholders (i.e., the “So What”).
• Experience in value-based care arrangements and working knowledge of key value-based concepts like Medicare Advantage, risk scores, shared savings, or CMS payment models
• Exposure to multiple actuarial functions (pricing, reserving, forecasting, trend, pharmacy, etc.) via rotational program or consulting role
• Proficiency in at least one other coding language aside from SQL or SAS (e.g., Python, R, dbt, etc.)
• Expertise working with spreadsheet software utilizing functions, formulas, and graphs
