Director of Analytics — AI-Driven Enterprise Platform

OneDigital; United States; On-site; USD 195,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

OneDigital in the United States seeks a hands-on Director of Analytics to lead analytics and data science, owning the platform vision and roadmap. You will manage a team of four data scientists, partner with regional leaders and stakeholders, and extend analytics across OneDigital lines of business to build scalable data products.

The role requires deep experience in employee benefits financial analytics, underwriting, and model design.

Qualifications

• Significant experience in employee benefits financial analytics, underwriting, or actuarial analysis within a healthcare brokerage, benefits consulting firm, carrier, or TPA.
• Demonstrated command of core benefits financial tools: underwriting, IBNR analysis, trend development, plan design modeling, contribution modeling, and financial projections.
• Strong understanding of the employee benefits ecosystem and how brokers, carriers, employers, TPAs, and PBMs interact, with the curiosity to learn adjacent lines of business.
• Experience owning a product, platform, or internal tool end to end — setting direction, prioritizing competing stakeholder needs, and shipping on a roadmap.
• Working knowledge of the full web application development lifecycle. You need not be an engineering manager, but should hold a credible technical conversation about architecture, releases, and tradeoffs.
• Hands‑on technical skill building analytical tools, not just directing others who build them. Comfort with SQL and Python or R, and experience delivering web-based applications rather than spreadsheets alone.
• Practical experience using AI and generative AI to build products, models, or automations, with a clear view of where they add value and where they don't.
• Experience leading and developing data scientists, analysts, or other technical professionals.
• Proven ability to build trust with regional or field teams and become the person they bring hard problems to.
• Excellent communication skills across technical, consulting, executive, and client-facing audiences, with strong business acumen and a bias toward shipping solutions that get used.

Responsibilities

• Own the platform as a product — set the vision, define and maintain the roadmap, prioritize the backlog, and be accountable for adoption and business impact.
• Engage regional leaders, consultants, and business-line stakeholders to surface pain points in how they underwrite, model, and report, and translate those into prioritized models and solutions.
• Own the full delivery lifecycle of those tools: discovery, design, build, validation, release, user enablement, and iteration based on real usage.
• Serve as the enterprise subject matter expert on benefits financial methodology — medical and Rx underwriting, IBNR and reserve analysis, trend development, large claimant analysis, plan design modeling and repricing, contribution modeling, multi-year projections, stop-loss evaluation, and renewal support — ensuring the methods embedded in the platform are accurate and defensible.
• Extend the platform's reach beyond employee benefits, identifying where analytics and AI-enabled tooling can create similar value in other lines of business.
• Act as a go-to resource for regional teams on complex client financial questions, including self-funding feasibility, funding strategy, and cost containment, building their capability rather than absorbing the work.
• Use AI and generative AI, including coding assistants and LLM platforms such as Claude, to accelerate development and embed intelligence into analytics products.
• Bring forward-thinking ideas and drive continuous improvement — scanning for emerging technologies and methods, and pressure-testing them through rapid prototyping.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of four data scientists (two senior, two junior), raising technical standards and building a culture of experimentation and rapid delivery.
• Define and execute the enterprise data and analytics strategy, including how data is aggregated, structured, governed, and leveraged across business lines.
• Partner with actuarial, brokerage, consulting, IT, and executive leadership to connect analytics investments to measurable business and client outcomes.
