Requirements

- 5–8 or more years in healthcare analytics, preferably in health benefits or insurance, with a sound understanding of the US health insurance system. - Extensive hands-on experience with administrative healthcare data, including medical and pharmacy claims. - Strong quantitative and statistical foundations, and judgment in selecting appropriate methods for real-world data. - Strong SQL skills for complex analytical queries, alongside substantial experience using Python for analysis and data wrangling. - Advanced proficiency with data visualization tools such as Tableau, plus experience cleaning, validating and exploring large datasets. - Familiarity with descriptive statistics, cohort and trend analysis, risk assessment and causal reasoning; a quantitative bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. A master’s degree or equivalent experience is preferred.

Nice to have

- Deep Python knowledge; experience with Salesforce, vendor-reported utilization and savings data, or stop-loss insurance data. - Familiarity with healthcare underwriting or actuarial risk assessment, and AWS data services such as S3, Lambda, Glue, SageMaker or EMR.

Benefits and work setup
