Senior Actuary
We all depend on healthcare throughout our lifetimes, for ourselves, and our families and friends, but it is notoriously difficult to navigate and understand. As an industry that comprises 20% of the US economy we think healthcare should work better for all of us. At Collective Health we believe it’s time for a new day in healthcare where as members we are informed and empowered to make the right care choices when the decisions are urgent and critical.
The Analytics and Business Intelligence Team is a cross-collaborative team working with nearly all departments in the company. We are a creative, conscientious and data-driven group of actuaries, analysts and data scientists. We work together on larger projects, but also spend time driving our own analyses and working directly with internal partners.
Actuaries at Collective Health bring to bear their extensive background interpreting healthcare cost and utilization data to connect clients and internal leaders with powerful and data driven insights. In this role, the Senior Actuary will collaborate and partner closely with the Head Actuary, as well as serving as a mentor and working with junior actuaries.
