A day in the life.

As a Senior Actuarial Analyst on the Employee Health & Benefits team, your day is a mix of hands‑on modeling, collaborative problem solving, and clear communication.

You'll partner closely with Account Management, Benefit Advisors, and clinical specialists to develop strategic approaches that align with client objectives.

You'll also provide oversight and mentorship to actuarial analysts and support the Director of Actuarial Services in analytical and strategic decision‑making. Occasional travel within the Mid‑Atlantic region may be required to meet clients or collaborate with colleagues in person.
