• Develop reusable benchmarks and analytical methods.
• Reduce manual analytical work through automation.
• Apply AI appropriately to data analysis, research, model development, QA, and workflow improvement.
• Partner with Pricing, Underwriting, Finance, Operations, Data, and Technology teams as we build the future-state pricing capability.

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field required.
• Seven (7) plus years relevant experience in pricing analytics, commercial analytics, decision science, financial analytics, underwriting analytics, healthcare economics, strategic finance, or similar quantitative roles.
• Or equivalent combination of education and/or experience.
• Expert-level Excel financial modeling.
• Ability to build sophisticated models from scratch, including scenario and sensitivity analysis.
• Strong hands-on SQL capability.
• Experience working directly with large or complex datasets.
• Strong understanding of P&L economics, unit economics, margin, forecasting, and financial drivers.
• Ability to identify data issues, reconcile conflicting information, and challenge assumptions.
• Strong executive communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in ambiguous environments.
• Python or R experience preferred.
• Experience with Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, Databricks, Snowflake, Fabric, or similar analytical platforms preferred.
• Experience using generative AI in analytical or financial workflows preferred.
• Experience with automation or process redesign preferred.
• Healthcare, insurance, transportation, logistics, marketplace, or other complex network-business experience preferred.
