Job Summary

 

The Analytics Analyst applies descriptive and prescriptive analytics to generate actionable insights from large-scale healthcare transaction data. As a member of a cross-functional group, this role partners with analytics teammates, product, engineering, and commercial stakeholders, participating in product discovery and helping deliver high-quality analyses, prototypes, dashboards, and storylines that inform product development and sales enablement. The Analyst is expected to be hands-on with data, curious, detail-oriented, and committed to reproducible, transparent work.

 

Responsibilities

• Execute analytics workstreams under guidance, including data extraction, cleaning, feature creation, exploratory analysis, and results validation.
• Build and maintain recurring reporting and dashboards that communicate key trends, performance signals, and product/customer insights.
• Translate business questions into analytic tasks (metrics definitions, cohorts, time windows, segmentation) with support from senior teammates.
• Attend and participate in product discovery for new products, supporting senior teammates and stakeholders as requirements take shape.
• Explore available data sets and document their contents; build basic charts and prototypes so stakeholders can confirm what they need before development begins.
• Profile new data sources (e.g., completeness, missingness, null values) to confirm they are fit for use and perform basic QA checks and spot-checks in your own work.
• Assist in building minimum viable products (MVPs) from agreed-upon prototypes.
• Partner with data engineering and product/engineering to understand data structures, validate data quality, and ensure analytic outputs are aligned to product needs.
• Understand existing ETL processes and help review or modify them to make source data analytics ready.
• Document assumptions, methodology, and code/queries to support reproducibility and auditability of insights.
• Contribute to internal and customer-facing presentations and data reports by producing clear visuals, concise narratives, and well-labeled outputs tailored to technical and non-technical audiences, and ensure the data presented is accurate.
• Uphold rigorous standards in data handling (privacy, governance, appropriate aggregation/de-identification requirements), escalating questions when ambiguity arises.
• Participate in team rituals (intake, scoping, reviews), incorporating feedback to improve accuracy, clarity, and usability of deliverables.

Basic Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in data science, Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Public Health, Epidemiology, Health Economics, or related field required.

• Working proficiency in SQL.
• Working proficiency in Python or R (Python preferred) for data cleaning, analysis, and automation.
• Hands-on experience regularly creating data visualizations in at least one BI tool (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Sigma) and applying descriptive analytics techniques such as summary statistics and basic trending.
• Ability to manage data carefully: joins, cohorting, data profiling (completeness, missingness, nulls), QA checks and spot-checks, versioning, and clear documentation.
• Ability to explain results clearly, ask strong clarifying questions, and incorporate feedback.

• Demonstrated ability to organize work, meet deadlines, and maintain high quality in a dynamic environment.
• Comfort using AI tools to support everyday analytics work.

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree preferred.
• Experience working with healthcare data, ideally at least one of the following: patient demographics, pharmacy fill data, pharmacy claims, medical claims, or prior authorization data.
• Exposure to predictive analytics or modeling techniques.
• Experience using AI tools in analytics work, such as using generative AI to quickly build data-driven prototypes.
• Experience with prototyping or whiteboarding tools (e.g., Lucidchart, Miro, Figma, Balsamiq).
• Familiarity with ETL (extract, transform, load) concepts, with willingness to run and help modify existing processes.
