Senior Analyst, Executive Underwriting Priorities

Overview

This role provides analytical and operational support to underwriting leadership by researching, validating, and synthesizing information needed to resolve time-sensitive questions and enable informed decision-making. Responsibilities include investigating drivers of change in pricing and forecasting outputs, identifying root causes of anomalies, and coordinating across internal stakeholders to obtain clarifications, data sources, and supporting documentation.

Responsibilities

• Research & issue resolution support: Respond to ad hoc requests by gathering facts, performing targeted analyses, and producing clear, concise readouts for leadership and business partners.
• Model output investigation & variance analysis: Perform diagnostic reviews to explain changes in results across pricing and forecasting tools/models, including identification of key drivers, input changes, data shifts, and methodology impacts.
• Cross-functional coordination: Partner with stakeholders across the underwriting ecosystem (e.g., modeling/tool owners, data teams, finance partners, and subject matter experts) to obtain answers, trace data lineage, and confirm appropriate interpretation of results.
• Side analyses and supporting models: Build and maintain “side” analyses (primarily in Excel) to validate assumptions, reconcile outputs, quantify impacts, and support leadership decision needs.
• Data handling & querying: Work with structured datasets and support extraction/validation of inputs and outputs using relational data concepts and SQL (hands-on query writing and/or leveraging standard tools and resources).
• Documentation & knowledge management: Maintain organized notes, assumptions, and reference materials to reduce rework, improve repeatability, and ensure questions are not re-opened without new information.
• Meeting support: Prepare meeting briefs (what changed, why it matters, what decisions are needed), capture action items, and represent leadership in lower-priority meetings when needed to capture key takeaways and follow-ups.
• Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline recurring requests, improve clarity of outputs, and enhance reliability of analysis through better templates, tracking, and documentation practices.

Requirements

• 2 years of relevant professional experience in analytics, finance, underwriting, actuarial, forecasting, or a related quantitative discipline.
• Experience with Microsoft Excel, including complex formulas and structured modeling (e.g., INDEX/MATCH or XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, pivot tables, error checking, reconciliation techniques).
• Familiarity with relational databases and SQL concepts for data extraction, validation, and analysis.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in PBM, healthcare, health plan, or underwriting/pricing environments.
• Experience working with large datasets and performing reconciliations across multiple sources/systems.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-matrix environment and build productive relationships across functions.
• Comfort learning new tools/systems quickly and operating in environments with evolving processes and requirements.
• Actuarial student status preferred, actively pursuing actuarial credentials with 3+ exams passed.
• Demonstrated ability to investigate ambiguous problems, ask strong clarifying questions, and drive issues to resolution through structured analysis and stakeholder follow-up.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including summarizing complex findings for non-technical audiences and documenting decisions and next steps.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, operate with urgency, and deliver accurate work under tight timelines.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, economics, finance, business, data analytics, or a related quantitative field preferred (or equivalent experience).
