Role Summary

Role type

Healthcare risk and strategy partner

Closer to capital/risk strategy than pricing partnership—the work concerns provider risk and Value-Based Care decisions rather than traditional insurance pricing.

Director-level Health actuarial role on OptumHealth’s National Actuarial and Healthcare Economics team, supporting Medicare ACO and Value-Based Care programs. You’ll build and oversee models, analyze claims and revenue data, advise provider organizations, and lead a small analyst team. The role is remote within the U.S., although Eden Prairie-area hires must work in the office at least four days per week.
