This job role is in the Optum Advisory and Implementations business unit under the Government Programs Actuarial (GPA) practice. The GPA practice focuses on providing actuarial consulting services to Medicare and Medicaid payers. This actuarial consulting practice competes with other traditional actuarial consulting organizations in the industry. The GPA practice primarily works with non-United Health Group payer entities and focuses on creating top tier actuarial solutions for its customers. Since this job is a consultative role, work responsibilities will vary based on customer needs.

 

Traditionally, this role focuses on client-facing projects and internal training needs for our analyst staff. The role will be supported by other actuarial analysts and consultants in the GPA practice and will include leadership of teams of analysts. While Medicare Part D expertise is requested, the job role will ultimately include opportunities to work on projects beyond Medicare Part D, including Medicare Advantage pricing, financial forecasting, product design strategy, Medicaid pricing, ACA pricing, and more.

 

Primary Responsibilities:

• Mentor and develop an elite team of consulting actuaries
• Lead and participate in client relationships and oversee client assignments
• Perform rate development and financial analytic actuarial activities related to Medicare Advantage and Part D programs. These activities include strategic consulting related to MAPD and PDP bid development and leading the actuarial analyst teams throughout the year for ongoing reporting and analytic services
• Design and run complex data programs to create mathematical analyses and actuarial models

 

You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in. 

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree
• On the Actuarial exam track, having passed a minimum of 4 or more Actuarial exams
• 5+ years of Actuarial experience

• 2+ years of Part D pharmacy pricing experience OR Part D industry experience

   

 

Preferred Qualifications:

Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc. In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you’ll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives. The salary for this role will range from $110,200 to $188,800 annually based on full-time employment. We comply with all minimum wage laws as applicable.
