  • Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate advanced analytics into decision-making.

Retirement Industry & Financial Services Expertise

  • Must have Financial Services experience; Retirement industry experience specifically including familiarity with ERISA, recordkeeping, and plan administration.

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders while actively contributing to execution.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in management consulting or enterprise transformation, with proven ability to combine strategic framing and hands-on analytics.
  • Advanced proficiency in R and Python for statistical modeling; SQL for data extraction.
  • Experience designing and executing hypothesis-driven analyses from start to finish.
  • Strong business case development and value realization expertise.
  • Must have Financial Services experience; Retirement industry experience is highly preferred.
  • Comfortable operating at both strategic and execution levels—able to influence executives while performing deep analytical work.
  • Familiarity with ERISA, recordkeeping, and plan administration (preferred but not required).
