We're building a new system from the ground up.\nOur mission is to improve people’s health by making it easy to live a healthy lifestyle.\nNourish is the country's largest dietitian-led metabolic health clinic. We’re an AI-native digital health system matching patients with 10,000+ Registered Dietitians, physicians, medications, lab testing, and AI agents to deliver insurance-covered care across all 50 states. Founded four years ago, we've completed millions of appointments, tripled year-over-year, and partnered with health plans covering 200M+ Americans across 250+ health systems.\nIn 2026 we raised a $100M Series C, bringing total funding to $215M. The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, Maverick Ventures, Y Combinator, BoxGroup, Atomico, Daybreak, and Operator Partners.\nLearn more about our Series C here: Nourish Blog, Bloomberg, Fierce Healthcare, Digital Native, The Pulse Podcast.\nThis is not a job for everyone. We hold an extremely high bar because we believe talent density is our biggest competitive advantage. We're looking for people who actively choose hard, ambiguous problems, who run toward unglamorous work, give and receive candid feedback, and bring relentless resilience without the ego. Our work is important, but we are not self-important. We do this because we’re solving one of the hardest problems in the world, and the problem matters. If that's you, we disproportionately reward it.\nAbout the Role\nCan nutrition care meaningfully improve health outcomes while reducing healthcare costs? This question is critical to Nourish's mission and our ability to bring care to millions more patients.\nAs our Actuarial Data Scientist, you'll lead the effort to quantify the economic impact of Nourish care. You'll design rigorous claims-based studies, develop actuarial models, and translate your findings into compelling evidence that demonstrates the value of Nourish to existing and prospective payer partners.\nYou'll be our first dedicated actuarial data science hire, with the opportunity to shape how we measure, validate, and communicate our impact. Your work will directly influence our payer partnerships, commercial strategy, and understanding of where our care creates the most value.\nThis is a hands-on role, working closely with our Commercial and Clinical teams, partnering with Analytics Engineering, and reporting to our Head of Data.\nOur data team is based in NYC and works from the office 3+ days a week, so we're looking for people who are excited to join us onsite and be part of that culture.\nKey Responsibilities\nLead Nourish's payer value studies: Design and execute rigorous claims-based analyses to quantify the impact of Nourish care on medical and pharmacy spending, healthcare utilization, and total cost of care.\nDevelop credible causal impact estimates: Apply appropriate study designs, matched comparison groups, risk adjustment, and causal inference methods to isolate the incremental impact of Nourish care.\nModel financial impact for prospective partners: Build actuarial models to estimate potential cost savings, PMPM impact, and ROI for specific health plan populations.\nTranslate evidence into compelling narratives: Produce clear study reports and executive summaries for health plan partners. Work alongside our Commercial team to communicate findings, explain methodologies and limitations, and address actuarial and clinical questions.\nIdentify where Nourish generates the greatest savings: Analyze which patient populations, conditions, and healthcare cost drivers offer the greatest potential for savings, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for our Commercial and Clinical teams.\nBuild a scalable analytical foundation: Partner with Analytics Engineering to develop reusable datasets, standardized methodologies, and repeatable analytical workflows that enable rigorous, efficient evaluations across payer populations.\nWe'd Love to Hear From You If You...\nHave 5+ years of healthcare actuarial or medical economics experience: You've worked at a health plan, actuarial consultancy, employee benefits consultancy, or digital health company, and have deep experience analyzing healthcare costs and utilization.\n Know healthcare claims data inside out: You're fluent in medical and pharmacy claims, eligibility data, and coding (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, NDC). You understand PMPM, cost trends, claims completion, risk adjustment, and the nuances that can make or break a healthcare savings analysis. Progress toward or completion of ASA or FSA is a plus.\nHave designed or conducted claims-based evaluations of care programs, healthcare vendors, or clinical interventions. You understand what it takes to build a credible savings case, ideally having evaluated programs from the payer's perspective.\nBring rigorous statistical and causal inference skills: You're comfortable with observational study design, matched comparison groups, risk adjustment, and methods for addressing selection bias and confounding.\nAre a hands-on, technically strong analyst: You write clean, performant SQL and are proficient in Python or R. You enjoy working directly with complex datasets and can independently drive an analysis from raw data through to actionable findings.\nCan translate complex actuarial analyses into clear, persuasive narratives for technical and non-technical audiences. You can confidently defend your methodology, explain limitations, and address tough questions from health plan actuaries.\nThrive in an entrepreneurial, cross-functional environment: You're comfortable with ambiguity, take ownership from problem definition to delivery, and enjoy building new capabilities from the ground up.\nAre motivated by impact and mission: You believe in the power of food as medicine to transform healthcare and are excited to improve lives at scale by contributing to Nourish's mission\nMore Information\nThe Nourish Bar\nOur Values\nWhy Nourish Exists\nHow We Work\nComp Philosophy\nBenefits","description_format":"text","description_chars":6214,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Telemedicine & Virtual Care","Nutrition & Dietetics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T01:19:49Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 9","filings_12m":9,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":182500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":77,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T03:12:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4831,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9065},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9065"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnourish-staff-data-scientist-actuarial"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3495777}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nourish.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3495777},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
