Purpose of the role: Improve the quality, credibility, and usefulness of our client reporting.

  • • Build and validate measurement methodology such as risk adjustment, cohort construction, attribution logic, and comparison group design.
  • • Turn analytic output into reporting that a client audience can read and trust, partnering with client facing teams on narrative and presentation.
  • • Document methodology so results can be explained, audited, and reproduced.
  • • Partner with data engineering and the data architect on the models and data assets reporting depends on.
  • • Investigate anomalies and questions raised by clients or internal stakeholders and close them with evidence.

Required qualifications

  • • 5 or more years of analytics or data science experience in healthcare, with direct exposure to healthcare economics, actuarial analytics, or value based care measurement.
  • • Strong SQL plus Python or R for analysis and modeling.
  • • Working knowledge of medical and pharmacy claims data, including standard code sets and common data quality pitfalls.
  • • Demonstrated ability to explain methodology and findings to non technical audiences.

Preferred qualifications

  • • Experience with risk adjustment models, quality measure sets, or shared savings and total cost of care programs.
  • • Experience building client facing or externally published reporting.
  • • Experience working in Snowflake and with modern BI tooling."
