Overview

Sun Life U.S. is one of the largest providers of employee and government benefits, helping approximately 50 million Americans access the care and coverage they need. Through employers, industry partners and government programs, Sun Life U.S. offers a portfolio of benefits and services, including dental, vision, disability, absence management, life, supplemental health, medical stop-loss insurance, and healthcare navigation.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst who has strong data engineering skills and is eager to expand into data analysis. This role sits at the intersection of data infrastructure and business insight—roughly 50% building robust data pipelines and infrastructure, and 50% transforming that data into actionable intelligence for a growing healthcare organization.

How you will contribute

• Build and maintain data pipelines that extract, transform, and load data from diverse sources including databases, APIs, XML, and flat files
• Develop data models to support analytics and decision-making across departments
• Design and deliver reports, dashboards, and visualizations using a BI visualization tool
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand needs, gather requirements, and deliver insights
• Monitor and enhance the business intelligence infrastructure, identifying opportunities for automation, optimization, and improved data quality
• Support data governance and data auditing efforts
• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders, including senior leadership
• Contribute to continuous improvement by evaluating new tools, methods, and approaches

What you will bring with you

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, or a quantitative field (Mathematics, Economics, Finance), or equivalent experience
• 3 years of experience in business intelligence, data engineering, or data analysis
• Proficiency in SQL and working with relational databases
• Experience with business intelligence databases, pipelines, and infrastructure
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate data into business impact
• Hybrid work supported
• Occasional travel may be required
• Authorized to work in the U.S.

Preferred Skills:

• Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred)
• Experience in healthcare or dental analytics
• Familiarity with scripting or analytical languages (e.g., R or Python)
