Milliman's Mountain Gulf Health Practice is looking for motivated graduates or current college students interested in a full-time seasonal (winter / spring) internship. This position provides opportunities for professional growth and technical skill development in the healthcare actuarial field. A successful candidate will possess excellent technical, communication, and interpersonal skills and will be self-motivated and driven to achieve. Intellectual curiosity, teamwork, and a strong desire to learn are important drivers of success in our practice.

The Team

Milliman's Mountain Gulf Health Practice consists of fifty-three actuarial professionals, healthcare consultants, IT, and administrative professionals. We are a group of highly self-motivated and enthusiastic individuals. Our practice has developed expertise in a variety of business areas, which means that we are always working on new and interesting challenges related to the healthcare field and the actuarial profession.

We have made the decision to hire primarily at the entry level, and we have carefully designed a program to help interns along their career path. Through our coach program, all staff members are paired with a dedicated coach to help support and celebrate the growth of each staff member along their career path.

What You Will Do

Our goal is to give interns a broad range of real-life experiences and exposure to the work of consultants in our practice. Actuarial interns perform data analysis using Excel, SAS, Databricks, Python, R, and proprietary Milliman programs to assist with consulting for various health insurance work areas, such as: Commercial / ACA, Behavioral Health, Risk Adjustment, Medicaid, Medicare, Dental, and more.

Interns have the opportunity to leverage their classroom knowledge by taking part in consulting activities including everything from attending professional staff and project team meetings, updating models to developing analyses for internal projects, reviewing and checking the work of others, to assisting with marketing and research projects.

Within a project team, consultants, project managers, analysts, and interns coordinate their efforts to deliver client reports and deliverables. Consultants are responsible for building relationships with clients, directing projects, and presenting results. Associate Actuaries, who act as project managers, work directly with analysts and interns by reviewing work, answering questions, and developing client correspondence. Analysts are responsible for the majority of the technical work, which may include analyzing data, completing actuarial calculations, developing, and utilizing actuarial models, and implementing software solutions. Interns are given very similar responsibilities to full-time analysts, and work alongside all levels of a project team while learning and expanding upon various actuarial concepts and computer programs, such as Microsoft Excel, SAS, Databricks, Python, and R.

Although exam study time, materials, and exam fees are not paid for by Milliman as an actuarial intern, we feel progression with actuarial exams is important, and the day of an exam sitting will be paid time off if applicable.
