About Us:

Cityblock Health is the first tech-driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block. Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve.

Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community.

Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.

Our Values:

  • Aim for Understanding
  • Be All In
  • Bring Your Whole Self
  • Lean Into Discomfort
  • Put Members First

About the Role:

As the senior leader on the Actuary and Healthcare Economics (AHE) team, the individual in this role will lead the our Valuation Actuary team responsible for performance forecasting, experience monitoring, financial settlements, and risk mitigation for our active markets and drive the organization’s understanding of the drivers of financial performance relative to expectations.

Your work will help our operators understand the drivers of the financial performance with our partners in each market. You will work with members of the Finance and Analytics teams to interpret emerging claims and revenue experience and to forecast changes in these drivers to Cityblock’s business. You will help formulate complex actuarial analytics to be consumable by business leaders.

The partners we work with, the markets we operate in, the membership we serve, varies across different blocks of our business. Also, healthcare data is seldom perfectly clean and consistent, so you must be willing to spend the time to understand the data as a foundational component of your work. You will lead the development and enhancement of the tools available to the actuarial team, in partnership with our Data Platform team.

Building relationships with our plan partners is an essential component of this role. You will liaison with our finance and actuarial counterparts to complete financial settlements, understand emerging insights, and reconcile calculation and data discrepancies. You will partner closely with Cityblock’s Partner Success team in this function.

The AHE team is a highly impactful and talented group. In your role, you will directly manage our Valuation Actuary team, developing emerging leaders on the team and maintaining a high bar for performance. Furthermore, you will drive collaboration across the broader AHE team, ensuring insights translate across teams, all the while increasing Cityblock’s “actuarial intelligence”. As needed, you will serve as the deputy to our Chief Actuary, representing the needs and point of view of the AHE team to our stakeholders across Cityblock.

If you want to come and use your actuarial and leadership skills to contribute and make a difference in the communities we serve, we want to hear from you!

  • You have a demonstrated track record of leading high performing actuarial teams

Covid 19 Update - Please Read:

Any individuals subject to this requirement may submit for consideration a request to be exempted from the requirement (based on a valid religious or medical reason) on forms to be provided by Cityblock. Such requests will be subject to review and approval by the Company, and exemptions will be granted only if the Company can provide a reasonable accommodation in relation to the requested exemption. Note that approvals for reasonable accommodations are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis and availability of a reasonable accommodation is not guaranteed.

As a healthcare provider, Cityblock holds ourselves to the highest standards when promoting the health and safety of those who we serve.
