As a Senior Business Analyst on the Data Science & Insights team you will translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive operational change and measurable client outcomes.

You will drive the development of scalable client analytics, from automated reporting and self-service QBRs to high-impact ROI storytelling, while acting as a trusted analytical advisor across Product, Client Services, Sales, and Data Science. The quality of your insights will directly influence product direction, client retention, and how the business evaluates and prioritizes opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

Ensure data pipelines are robust and trustworthy, and clearly define project goals and success criteria.

• Data Storytelling: Create high-impact visualizations and business cases that demonstrate the ROI of AI integration to our B2B clients.

• Stakeholder Synthesis: Collaborate with clients and executive leadership to translate complex business questions into actionable insights. Probe beyond the initial question to uncover the underlying business problems that need solving.

• Strategic Communication: Proven ability to explain the "Why" behind an AI recommendation to non-technical users.

• Domain Expertise: Familiarity with claims management workflows, "duration compression" concepts, and the regulatory landscape of disability insurance is preferred
