Senior Analytics Consultant

JOB OVERVIEW

The Senior Analytics Consultant plays a strategic role within EPIC’s high‑growth Private Equity Benefits Practice. This position serves as a trusted advisor to clients by delivering high‑quality financial and analytic insights that drive benefits decision‑making across a diverse portfolio of private‑equity‑backed companies. The Senior Analytics Consultant is responsible for managing complex workflows—including acquiring and validating data, structuring analyses, developing forward‑looking projections, interpreting plan performance, and creating client‑ready deliverables. The role collaborates closely with account teams to ensure accurate, insightful, and polished financial reporting. As a senior member of the PE Benefits Analytics Team, the individual leads less standardized, time‑sensitive projects and presents analytic findings directly to clients. The role also contributes to team development through peer review, mentoring junior analysts, and modeling a thoughtful, process‑oriented approach to high‑quality work.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Financial & Analytical Consulting Develop accurate and timely financial analyses to support client strategy, renewals, planning, and executive decisions. Conduct quantitative modeling and scenario analysis to assess the financial impact of plan design, contribution strategies, vendor changes, and trend assumptions. Analyze claims drivers, utilization patterns, and cost trends to identify opportunities and inform recommendations. Support client teams with benchmarking, risk profile evaluation, pharmacy financial reviews, and analytics that connect performance to strategy. Reporting, Insights & Client Support Prepare, update, and present monthly and quarterly reporting packages, dashboards, performance reviews, variance analyses, and projections. Craft and maintain client financial presentation materials in partnership with account teams to ensure professional, consistent formatting and narrative. Present analytics to clients and translate complex findings into clear, actionable insights. Maintain awareness of client goals and incorporate stakeholder perspectives into analytic deliverables. Data Management, Validation & Vendor Coordination Identify required data and obtain it through carrier portals or direct vendor coordination (carriers, PBMs, TPAs, other partners). Validate, reconcile, and structure data into repeatable, accurate reporting frameworks. Support pharmacy rebate tracking, vendor performance reconciliation, and verification of program‑related invoices and fees. Maintain comprehensive records of source data, assumptions, and methodologies in an organized system. Project Management & Team Development Manage multiple workstreams, define project scope, set priorities, and deliver results within tight deadlines. Provide peer review, coach junior analysts, and support knowledge sharing and team development. Identify process improvements and contribute to building scalable, standardized analytic workflows. Demonstrate professionalism and accountability in all internal and client‑facing interactions. May supervise and provide direction to junior team members, including managing workflow, prioritization, and development support.
