The Nautilus Program:

As we like to say, our purpose is people. We understand that everyone is different, and that's what we love! Nautilus was designed to create a safe learning space for recent college graduates to further develop their skills, engage with their co-workers, and find their specific interests within analytics. In addition to creating a unique, highly engaging experience, we also work very hard to match your interests and skills with an area in analytics that will provide you long-term satisfaction and engagement. The program includes many activities throughout the year, but the basic structure is outlined below.

• Candidates chosen for this program will begin in the summer of 2025 (likely early July)
• Analysts will spend the first six weeks developing relationships with their new co-workers, learning about Florida Blue, building their technical skills, navigating data sources, and learning the fundamentals of healthcare insurance
• After the initial six weeks, rotations will begin, and analysts will start to work on projects within different areas of analytics
• Each analyst will get to experience three rotations and work on different analytics projects relevant to the areas they rotate in
• The program will last roughly twelve months
• This is a full-time position, not an internship. After program completion, analysts will be placed on a team that matches their interests and skills with the needs of the business
