Who you'll work with
Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients.

The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
- Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
What you'll do
You will leverage your actuarial expertise, industry experience, and analytical skills to help clients solve some of healthcare's most complex challenges.
Working as part of client service teams, you will develop innovative capabilities, generate actionable insights, and shape recommendations that drive meaningful improvements in organizational performance, affordability, and patient outcomes.
The Actuarial team is based across offices in North America and is part of our Social, Healthcare and Public Entities (SHaPE) practice, which supports stakeholders across the healthcare industry on strategy development and execution. The team includes more than a dozen actuaries with expertise across Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, and other business segments, supporting profitability teardowns, risk adjustment and quality analytics, cost-of-care analysis, growth strategy, and the optimization of risk-based healthcare businesses.
You will work closely with clients as part of cross-functional teams to address critical strategic priorities and transform how decisions are made. By combining actuarial rigor, advanced analytics, and strategic problem solving, you will help healthcare organizations build lasting capabilities, accelerate growth, improve quality of care, and create greater value for the populations they serve.
