We need someone to track and understand how in-house and vendor created data science products influence various outcomes.

• Develop deep working knowledge of clinical and operational data, understanding how it's structured and how to apply it to real healthcare problems.
• Build reusable, validated data assets — tables, views, derived features — that are thoroughly documented so other analysts and data scientists can work with the data independently.
• Build queries, dashboards, and visualizations that surface data quality, data availability, and clinical insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Act as a bridge between clinical concepts and analytical frameworks, helping business partners understand what the available data can and can't support.
• Build analysis pipelines that apply statistical methods to identify the key drivers behind clinical and operational outcomes.
• Partner with data engineering on pipeline design, so clinical data is ingested, transformed, and stored in ways that fit downstream analytics needs.
• Ad hoc data analysis and other work as required

• 1+ years of experience in applied analytics to solve healthcare or other business questions using data, analysis and automation
• 1+ years of experience with combination of work or academia using SQL and Python to pull, clean, prepare and analyze data

• 3+ years of experience applying advanced analytics, business intelligence and data wrangling to assist in the development of automation within the clinical space, allowing doctors to benefit by analytics to assist in their treatment plans
• Working knowledge of clinical coding and terminology standards (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, SNOMED-CT, LOINC, NDC, RxNorm).
• Software development experience
