Data Analyst II - Life Policyholder Behavior

Job Description:

Providing for loved ones, planning rewarding retirements, and saving enough for whatever lies ahead – our policyholders count on us to be there when it matters most. It’s a big ask, but it’s one that we have the power to deliver when we work together. We collaborate and innovate – pushing one another to transform not just Pacific Life, but the entire industry for the better. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do. Pacific Life is more than a job, it’s a career with purpose. It’s a career where you have the support, balance, and resources to make a positive impact on the future – including your own.

We’re actively seeking a talented Data Analyst II to join our Life Policyholder Behavior Experience Studies team in Newport Beach, CA. This role follows a hybrid schedule of four days in the office (on-site). If you are not currently located near one of our offices, we offer comprehensive relocation benefits.

As a Data Analyst II, you’ll move Pacific Life and your career forward by improving the quality and accessibility of data that supports actuarial assumptions and predictive models. You will join a team of four in the Consumer Markets Division, working alongside data scientists and actuaries with expertise in life insurance policyholder behavior.

How You’ll Help Move Us Forward

• Gather data from multiple source systems, clean and organize messy or incomplete datasets, and prepare them for use in actuarial models and analyses

• Validate data quality by applying business context and domain knowledge, understanding enough of the actuarial workflow to recognize when something doesn’t look right

• Support the development and maintenance of data pipelines and transformation logic, with an interest in growing these skills over time

• Document data sources, definitions, and known issues to improve team knowledge and data reliability

• Fulfill data requests from actuaries, data scientists, and other stakeholders by writing SQL queries against our Snowflake environment, assessing results for reasonableness, and identifying errors or anomalies before delivering outputs

• Build lightweight visualizations and exploratory analyses using tools like Streamlit and Sigma to support team workflows and ad-hoc requests

The Experience You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field

• 2+ years of experience in data analytics or a related field

• Strong SQL skills, with the ability to write queries, interpret results, and assess data for accuracy and completeness

• Proficiency in Python and/or R for data manipulation and analysis

• Experience with Snowflake SQL or similar cloud data platforms

• Attention to detail and a methodical approach to working with messy or complex data

What Makes You Stand Out

• Background in insurance, actuarial science, or financial services

• Familiarity with data engineering concepts such as pipelines, ETL processes, or workflow orchestration
