    • Perform reconciliation of model results to aggregate bid components and financial reporting.
    • Work directly with raw claims and enrollment data to support model inputs, assumptions, and calibration.
    • Support scenario testing (e.g. benefit changes, trend, risk mix) and customer level pricing using seriatim projections.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including finance, underwriting, and product development, in support of pricing analyses and corporate strategy and forecasts.
    • Monitor regulatory changes and assess their impact on pricing and profitability.
    • Present findings and recommendations to the Actuarial Manager.
    • Document model logic, assumptions, and validation results.

    Qualifications:

    • Bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
    • 2+ years of actuarial experience, with a focus on Medicare Part D pricing or pharmacy.
    • Completion of 4+ actuarial exams.
    • Experience working with detailed healthcare claims data.
    • Proficiency in Excel and SQL. R/SAS experience preferred.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

    Preferred Experience:

    • Prior experience with Part D pricing models, claim-level analytics, or seriatim forecasting.
    • Demonstrated ability to work independently and drive projects forward with minimal oversight.
    • Proven track record of taking initiative, managing competing priorities, and delivering high-quality work in a deadline-driven environment.
