Job Responsibilities

Model & Tool Development

Design, build, and validate actuarial and analytic models from the ground up — there are no templates or inherited frameworks to start from
Develop modular SQL code and Excel-based tool suites that run on a regular cadence to support various operational areas, such as pharmacy analytics, risk adjustment coding, MAPD bid preparation, etc.
Build tools that put actionable outputs — call lists, exhibits, utilization drilldowns — directly in the hands of the executives who need them
Formalize and adhere to team standards for model design, code documentation, and work quality
Continuously refine and improve models based on emerging data and business needs

One-Off & Strategic Analytics

Perform deep-dive, ad hoc analyses to answer complex business questions, displaying high degrees of mathematical rigor and common sense
Translate ambiguous business problems into structured analytical methodologies — beginning with discovery conversations with executive stakeholders to understand what they actually need
Present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders to influence business decisions
Own and manage analytic projects from planning through delivery, operating with increasing independence over time

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent
5+ years of relevant experience or the knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed in the role
Intermediate SQL skills — this is the single most critical technical requirement; the ability to write precise, well-documented, complex queries is essential
Strong Excel proficiency; experience with SAS or similar tools a plus
Actuarial exam progress (ASA in process) preferred but not required — raw coding ability and intellectual drive matter more
Demonstrated ability to build analytical tools from scratch in ambiguous or unstructured environments
Strong communication skills — ability to interview an executive stakeholder, understand their goals, and translate them into an analytical specification
Openness to coaching, close collaboration, and iterative feedback during onboarding
A genuine standard of quality — someone who notices when something doesn't look right and takes the time to figure out why
