• Understand and implement reporting methodologies affiliated with actuarial science, including cost-benefit analyses related to medication claims and medical care claims.

Research & Analytics

• Assist internal and external resources in research studies conducted by FlyteHealth and its employer and health system partners.
• Develop actuarial analyses to support innovative obesity care models and improve financial sustainability.
• Build and mentor an actuarial team, fostering a culture of analytical excellence and continuous learning.
• Ensure the team’s work aligns with FlyteHealth’s broader strategic objectives and business needs.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience & Expertise

• 5+ years of actuarial experience in healthcare, with a focus on employer-sponsored benefits, medical economics (pharmacy and medical claims), and commercial payer plans.
• ASA or FSA designation required.
• Strong understanding of employer healthcare data, claims analysis, and payer-provider financial arrangements.
• Experience with reserving and forecasting performance under employer-sponsored health plans.

Technical & Analytical Skills

• Proficiency in SQL, SAS, Python, R, or other analytical tools for healthcare claims data analysis.
• Expertise in Excel financial modeling to evaluate cost-of-care impacts of clinical interventions.
• Familiarity with BI tools like Looker, Tableau, or QlikSense.

Leadership & Communication
