Vice President, Actuarial & Analytics

GoHealth Intro: As a leading health insurance marketplace, Go Health’s mission is to improve access to healthcare in America.

We use our technology, agents, and expertise to cut through the confusion and get customers enrolled in a plan with the right coverage and benefits.

Why Apply: GoHealth has established a culture where our employees feel empowered, engaged and inspired. We are looking for builders who will contribute to the long-term health of the company. We also understand that you may not check every box in our requirements list, most applicants don’t!

GoHealth encourages you to break that statistic and to apply today!
