Who We Are
Independent for 75 years, Milliman delivers market-leading services and solutions to clients worldwide. Today, we are helping companies take on some of the world’s most critical and complex issues, including retirement funding and healthcare financing, risk management and regulatory compliance, data analytics and business transformation.
Through a team of professionals ranging from actuaries to clinicians, technology specialists to plan administrators, we offer unparalleled expertise in employee benefits, investment consulting, healthcare, life insurance and financial services, and property and casualty insurance.
What You Will Do
The Data Specialist role provides the backbone of analytical support for our projects. On a day-to-day basis, the Data Specialist will be expected to provide analytical support to our Actuarial Analysts and Consultants for client projects. They will be expected to perform data review, report updates, basic quantitative analysis, quality assurance, and project document editing. Their work is crucial to the final work product submitted to clients. As such, the position requires professionalism and strong communication skills – both in-person and written – in order to successfully liaise with colleagues and clients.
Much of the Data Specialist’s work will be done in Excel, but supplemental skills are highly valued. Prior insurance experience is beneficial but not required: we will teach you the key concepts of analyzing and forecasting insurance reserves and rates.
The Data Specialist position does not include enrollment in our actuarial exam program, nor is this person is expected to pursue a credential with the Casualty Actuarial Society. After gaining sufficient experience with Milliman and meeting all necessary requirements, an employee who is successful in the Data Specialist role may have opportunity to be considered for an actuarial student position.
