- Once the Data Warehouse is built, prepare and maintain reports for regulators, Underwriting, Product, Programs, Claims, and other internal stakeholders.
- Support new program onboarding into the Data Warehouse and reporting.
- Leverage knowledge of new Data Warehouse to enhance actuarial pricing models, tools, and methodologies to support underwriting decisions.

- A minimum of 3 actuarial exams passed. ACAS or FCAS preferred.

Statistical Analyst Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a statistical analyst in California?
Most statistical analyst roles in California require at least a bachelor's degree in statistics, mathematics, economics, or a closely related field, with many competitive positions preferring a master's degree. California does not require a state-issued license for statistical analysts, but earning credentials such as the American Statistical Association's Graduate Statistician or Professional Statistician designation strengthens your candidacy, particularly in biostatistics and government sectors.
How much do statistical analysts make in California?
Statistical analysts in California earn a median of about $135,960 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,890 for the lowest 10% to over $205,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire statistical analysts in California?
Employers hiring statistical analysts in California right now include Revolution Medicines, Perr&Knight, and City of Antioch, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. California's concentration of biotech firms, major university systems, and technology companies means demand is broad and spread across multiple industries rather than limited to a single sector.
Which California cities have the most statistical analyst jobs?
Redwood City, California, and Antioch have the most statistical analyst openings in California. The Bay Area leads because of its dense concentration of technology companies, biotech firms, and research universities, while Los Angeles draws demand from entertainment analytics, healthcare systems, and public agencies, and San Diego's strong life sciences and defense research base sustains consistent hiring there.
Are there remote statistical analyst jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 25% of statistical analyst openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the desk-based and software-driven nature of the work. Roles focused on predictive modeling, data pipeline analysis, and reporting tend to be the most remote-accessible, while positions requiring close collaboration with wet-lab or clinical teams often expect an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a statistical analyst in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is targeting junior analyst or research assistant roles at California's large public university systems, state health agencies, or biotech companies, which regularly bring on candidates with strong academic training but limited work history. The University of California campuses and California Department of Public Health offer research support positions that serve as genuine on-ramps. Building a portfolio of reproducible analyses in R or Python and completing a relevant internship through a California graduate program significantly strengthens applications for candidates without full-time experience.
Where can I find and apply to statistical analyst jobs in California?
You can find and apply to statistical analyst jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings across industries and experience levels. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
