Actuarial Analyst II

Actuarial Analyst II Overview:

Wayspring is seeking a driven and analytically curious Actuarial Analyst to play a key role in building and expanding our actuarial reporting and analytics function. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Actuarial Services, this is a unique opportunity to gain exposure across the full spectrum of actuarial work while helping shape a growing healthcare organization that is transforming care for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD).
