- Join a mission-driven, financially stable organization with a strong market presence
Qualifications
- ASA designation required
- 5-8+ years of actuarial experience within managed care
- Direct Medicare Advantage experience required (Medicaid exposure is a plus)
- Strong background in pricing, rate filing, and regulatory submissions
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders
