About the Role
The Rate Optimization Analyst (ROA) plays a vital role within the Audit organization at Loop, supporting the accurate and efficient interpretation, validation, testing, and maintenance of carrier rates and terms. This role requires curiosity, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement in rate automation processes.
First and foremost, the ROA will be assigned clients, carriers, or modes where Loop is not meeting its KPIs in auditing and rating. As a change agent, the ROA will work closely with the assigned auditor to identify issues, determine corrective actions, and outline the steps required to resolve them. Once a plan is in place, the ROA is responsible for ensuring audit commitments are fulfilled. If commitments are not met, the ROA will escalate the situation for further action.
In a secondary capacity, the ROA will serve as a direct audit resource for assigned clients, ensuring not only accurate audits but also fostering collaborative partnerships built on trust and transparency. New employees entering this role from outside Loop will begin with responsibilities aligned to this secondary function until they are fully up to speed.

• Diagnosing root causes of KPI failures.
• Developing and executing corrective action plans.
• Ensuring accountability for audit commitments.
• Escalating unresolved issues for further action.
• Build strategic internal and external relationships through accurate audits and transparent communication.
• Communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including Audit, Global Solutions, and IT.
• Participate in pre-defined projects related to rating and audit.
• Any other task as assigned.
Position Requirements

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Ability to understand and adapt to complex databases, available fields, processes, and applications.

• Demonstrated critical thinking and proactive problem-solving.
• Self-motivated with excellent time management and organizational skills.

• Must be able to work 40 hours a week and accommodate some off-schedule meetings.
