This is not a role for someone who just runs the numbers. We are looking for someone who loves analytical work and brings equal passion to communicating what the data means, serving as a key voice in client meetings and a mentor to the broader team.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><br></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Job Responsibilities</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><br></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Claims &amp; Experience Analysis</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Monitor plan performance across medical, </span><span>pharmacy</span><span>, dental, and vision lines by reviewing monthly claims reports, tracking </span><span>utilization</span><span> trends, and </span><span>identifying</span><span> key cost drivers. Summarize findings in clear financial reports and dashboards for internal teams and client-facing discussions. Ensure data accuracy across all reporting, resolving discrepancies as they arise.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Financial Modeling &amp; Forecasting</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Build and </span><span>maintain</span><span> sophisticated underwriting and financial models to project renewal costs, evaluate plan design alternatives, and develop multi-year cost forecasts. Support client budgeting decisions across fully insured, level-funded, and self-funded arrangements. Translate complex modeling outputs into clear, client-ready exhibits and financial presentations.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Market Analysis &amp; Carrier Quoting</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Prepare underwriting submissions and RFPs, evaluate carrier proposals and stop-loss quotes, and develop detailed side-by-side financial comparisons to support client decision-making. Conduct rigorous network discount analyses when evaluating alternative carriers, TPAs, and provider arrangements. Evaluate stop-loss quotes from multiple carriers, assess attachment point adequacy </span><span>relative</span><span> to a client's claims exposure and risk tolerance, and negotiate contract terms. Lead carrier negotiations on rates, assumptions, and contract terms. </span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Plan Strategy &amp; Risk Review</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Contribute data-driven perspectives in client strategy sessions, supporting plan design discussions, funding strategy recommendations, and long-term cost management planning. Evaluate the </span><span>financial impact</span><span> of plan design changes and model contribution strategies and employee cost-sharing scenarios. Present best-case, expected, and worst-case renewal scenarios to help clients understand trade-offs and align decisions with their risk tolerance.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Client Consulting</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Lead the financial portions of client meetings and presentations, translating complex analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for HR leaders and executives. Serve as a strategic financial partner to clients throughout the year — from post-renewal review through renewal execution — ensuring they understand their plan performance and can make confident, </span><span>informed decisions. Support new business development by preparing financial exhibits, assessing plan performance, and analyzing </span><span>utilization</span><span> data as needed.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Reporting Innovation &amp; Cross-Team Collaboration</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Partner with LoVasco's internal Data &amp; Engineering Team as they build software to automate the creation and delivery of monthly and quarterly claims dashboards. Validate automated outputs, surface data anomalies, and provide ongoing feedback as the platform evolves — ensuring the final product reflects the depth and accuracy clients expect. This initiative will free the financial team from a manual, carrier-portal-dependent reporting process and redirect that capacity toward higher-value advisory work, giving LoVasco a distinct competitive advantage in the market.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Team Leadership &amp; Mentorship</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><span>Guide and develop Financial Analysts, providing peer review of financial exhibits and deliverables to ensure accuracy and consistency. Serve as a financial resource for Account Managers and Account Executives. Contribute to the continuous improvement of reporting tools, underwriting models, and internal processes, and </span><span>participate</span><span> in knowledge sharing, training, and intellectual capital development.</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><br></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>About You</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span><br></span></p>\n<p><span><span>People who thrive in this position:</span></span><span> </span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Are genuinely passionate about employee benefits — you find this industry interesting and important.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Love working with numbers and </span><span>data but</span><span> get equally excited about telling the story the data reveals.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Communicate complex financial concepts clearly and confidently </span><span>to</span><span> non-financial audiences.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Take pride in the accuracy and quality of their work.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Are natural collaborators who enjoy working across a team.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Thrive in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects with competing deadlines.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Enjoy mentoring others and helping teammates grow.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Always look for ways to add value, improve processes, and raise the bar.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><br></span></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span><span>Education, Training, and Experience</span></span></span><span> </span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Bachelor's Degree in </span><span>Mathematics</span><span>, </span><span>Actuarial Science, </span><span>Finance, Economics, </span><span>or a related field</span><span>.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Seven to ten years of experience in employee benefits financial analysis, consulting, or a closely related role.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Prior experience at an employee benefits brokerage or consulting firm </span><span>is </span><span>required</span><span>.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Demonstrated ability to build financial models from scratch and communicate results to a non-technical audience.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Deep knowledge of group insurance products: medical, dental, vision, life, and disability.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Strong command of benefits financial concepts, including stop-loss, self-funding, claims analysis, and plan design modeling.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Experience presenting to and advising HR and executive-level client stakeholders.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Strong project management skills with </span><span>a track record</span><span> of delivering </span><span>accurate</span><span> work on deadline.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Actuarial credentials (ASA, FSA) or pursuit thereof is a </span><span>plus, but</span><span> not </span><span>required</span><span>.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Working knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements applicable to employer-sponsored health plans: PPACA, COBRA, HIPAA, ERISA, etc.</span></span><span> </span></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span>Exceptional skills in Microsoft Excel and the broader Microsoft Office suite.
