Foodsmart seamlessly integrates dietary assessments and nutrition counseling with online food ordering and cost-effective meal planning for the entire family, optimizing ingredients both at home and on the go. We partner with national and regional retailers across the U.S., many of whom accept SNAP/EBT, making healthier food more accessible.

About the Role:
Foodsmart’s value proposition rests on a claim: we improve outcomes for the members who need it most, and we save payers real money doing it. We’re looking for a Senior Director of Health Economics & Actuarial Analytics who can make that claim airtight, rigorous enough to hold up when a payer’s own actuarial team pressure tests it.
This role owns the full chain from clinical improvement to economic value. It starts with measuring what actually changed for a client’s members: weight loss, A1c improvement, blood pressure control, HEDIS performance. It ends with quantifying what that improvement is worth and defending that number in front of the people writing the check.
