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.

• Aim for Understanding
• Be All In
• Bring Your Whole Self

In your role, you will work closely with peers and leaders from across the business, including the New Bets, Finance, Medical Economics, Network, and Market leaders.

• In this capacity you will work closely with the Director, Growth and Partner Analytics, Finance, and the respective business teams. 
• Special Projects: 
• Collaborate with specialists across the Analytics and Actuarial areas to help answer specific questions from Cityblock company or Finance Leadership, typically in the areas of claims observations, experiences of specific member profiles, or experience with specific external providers.  
• In this capacity you will work closely with the Head Actuary, and actuarial and Analytics leads.

If you are inspired by a role where you have scope to help shape an organization’s portfolio and partnerships; if you enjoy bringing your actuarial skills to real business questions, and if seeing your work impact the lives of others, we would love for you to consider joining our team.
