• Partner with actuarial and finance leadership to support financial reconciliations and performance reviews, including preparing analysis outputs and presenting results to executive audiences.
• Develop, run, and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate healthcare claims and operational data used in actuarial analyses and performance estimates.
• Perform ad hoc and exploratory data analyses to investigate performance trends, identify drivers of over‑ or under‑performance, and surface actionable insights for internal stakeholders.
• Evaluate the reasonableness and sensitivity of model outputs, proactively identifying data quality issues, assumptions, or emerging risks.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with analytics, clinical, and operations teams to ensure alignment between data, models, and real‑world workflows.
• Contribute to the improvement and automation of actuarial processes and analytical pipelines as the organization scales, helping to establish best practices in a start‑up environment.

• Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Actuarial Sciences, Economics, Math, or other quantitative discipline.
• ASA, or near‑ASA with demonstrated progress towards credentials (4+ exams).
• 2+ years of actuarial experience in a healthcare environment.
• Experience using SQL or another structured coding language to pull and transform healthcare data from large databases.
• Proficiency in writing clean, efficient code and ability to troubleshoot and review code written by yourself or others.
• Experience working with claim‑level datasets.

• Strong communication skills and ability to articulate results, solutions, and recommendations to internal stakeholders.
• Experience in value‑based care arrangements and working knowledge of key value‑based concepts like Medicare Advantage, risk scores, shared savings, or CMS payment models.
• Exposure to multiple actuarial functions via rotational program or consulting role.
• Proficiency in at least one other coding language aside from SQL or SAS (e.g., Python, R, dbt).
• Expertise working with spreadsheet software utilizing functions, formulas, and graphs.

• Act with our members in mind: Thyme Care’s mission, and particularly our member experience, matters deeply to you.
• Curiosity: You’re devoted to discovering something new every day. You’re excited about seeking answers to questions, even if it means thinking outside the box sometimes.
• Critical eye for detail: Not only do you maintain high standards for data accuracy, presentation and documentation, you have a natural ability to detect data anomalies and identify when outputs look suspicious and warrant further investigation.
• Move with purpose: You’re biased to action. You know how to identify and prioritize your initiative’s needs; and you do what it takes to ensure that urgent and important needs are acted on immediately.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You understand that rapid changes to the business, strategy, organization, and priorities are par for the course. You’re comfortable with defining the boundaries of your work, and striking the right balance between seeking guidance and taking initiative.
