Job description
Curative is building the future of health insurance with a first-of-its-kind employer-based plan designed to remove financial barriers and make care truly accessible: one monthly premium with $0 copays and $0 deductibles*. Backed by our recent $150M in Series B funding and valuation at $1.275B, Curative is scaling rapidly and investing in AI-powered service, deeper member engagement, and a smart network designed for today’s workforce.
Our north star guides everything we do: healthcare only works when people can actually use it. That belief drives every decision we make: from how we design our plan, support our members, to how we collaborate as a team.
If you want to do meaningful work with a team that moves fast, experiments boldly, and cares deeply, Curative is the place to do it. We’re growing fast and looking for teammates who want to help transform health insurance for the better.
Curative is reimagining health insurance - with straightforward pricing and $0 out of pocket costs with a baseline visit. Help us create a better healthcare experience for our members by making it easy & intuitive for them to access the care they need. We are seeking a Junior Actuary to support Curative’s pricing and portfolio strategy team. This will be a unique actuarial role combining traditional actuarial responsibilities (i.e., data science, experience studies, pricing) with operational and strategic ownership (interaction and ownership of key matrix relationships with sales, account management, underwriting, and operational executives). This role will be a key contributor to the broader company as Curative expands and grows. This is a great opportunity for a recent college graduate to kickstart their career in actuarial science. In this role, you will assist with data analysis, pricing support, and portfolio management while gaining valuable hands‑on experience. You will collaborate closely with other teams, such as Sales, Account Management, Underwriting, and Operations, to help drive Curative’s growth and success.
