This opportunity offers a mix of technical actuarial work, client-facing consulting, and leadership responsibility. You'll work directly with health plans and other healthcare organizations on high-priority Medicare Advantage initiatives while partnering with a team that is well-established within the healthcare consulting spac

• Analyzing healthcare data and turning it into actionable recommendations

Why This Role

A lot of actuarial opportunities talk about leadership, strategy, and client exposure. This is one of the roles where you'll actually get it.

You'll be working directly with clients, contributing to key business decisions, and helping drive solutions that impact Medicare Advantage performance and growth. There's a strong team already in place, plenty of interesting project work, and an opportunity to continue building your consulting and leadership skillset while staying close to the actuarial work itself.
