  • 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).
