Modelling-focused individual contributor
Closer to a modelling-heavy individual contributor than a reserving cycle role because the work evaluates rebate value and affordability initiatives rather than quarterly valuation.
Actuarial Consultant role in Health business intelligence and reporting for Optum’s pharmaceutical rebate program, based remotely in the U.S. You’ll build forecasting models, analyze claims and financial performance, and translate clinical and pharmacy initiatives into measurable business value. The role suits an Associate-level professional with 3+ years of analytical experience; ASA is preferred.
