Senior Actuarial Analyst
About The Position
The Senior Actuarial Analyst is a high-learning, high-ownership position responsible for working independently to develop subject matter expertise across multiple actuarial areas. This role focuses on designing and building net-new analytical tools and frameworks that directly support executive decision-making across various functions (e.g., pharmacy, risk adjustment, benefit analysis, etc.). Operate as an internal consultant — partnering with senior leaders to understand their business needs, then building the SQL and Excel-based tools that help them meet measurable goals. Success requires strong analytical curiosity, rigorous critical thinking, a coder's mentality, and a genuine commitment to getting things right.
Requirements
- 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
- 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
Nice To Haves
- 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
Responsibilities
- 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
- 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
