Role Summary

Role type

Pricing and risk partner to value-based care

Closer to a live-business pricing partner than a pure modelling role, because contract terms, provider negotiations, and risk decisions shape the work.

Director-level Health actuarial role on Optum’s National Actuarial and Healthcare Economics team, supporting Medicare Advantage and value-based care arrangements. You’ll lead pricing, risk assessment, forecasting, contract strategy, predictive modelling, and a team of actuarial managers and analysts. The role is remote across most of the U.S., with four office days weekly for hires in Minneapolis or Washington, D.C.

Requirements

Strongly preferred

  • ASA designation
  • 7+ years of actuarial experience
  • 3+ years experience with Medicare value-based arrangements, MA products, MA Risk Adjustment, Medicare bids, or VBC modeling
  • 2+ years of experience managing actuarial analysts
  • Proficiency in Excel and SQL
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

Nice to have

  • FSA or progress toward FSA
  • Experience presenting business insights to stakeholders
  • Self-motivation and ability to quickly learn new business concepts
  • Experience with Underwriting and/or VBC modeling
