Job description

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.

This role sits on Virta’s Commercial Analytics team and will focus on the analytics that help Virta measure and communicate value to clients. You will partner closely with Client Success, Commercial, Finance, Product, and Analytics teams to ensure Virta’s value is measured accurately, communicated clearly, and used to strengthen client relationships and inform strategy. This is a hands‑on role centered on executing recurring measurement and reporting workflows while improving the underlying systems that support Virta’s growing client base. You will also collaborate with Client Product teams to streamline workflows, strengthen measurement frameworks, and translate commercial needs into product and analytics solutions.

Responsibilities

• Deliver Commercial Analytics: Execute recurring and ad hoc analyses across client reporting, performance guarantees, dashboards, and other commercial priorities.

• Measure Client Value: Develop a strong understanding of Virta’s value model and apply its measurement frameworks to accurately calculate, validate, and communicate client outcomes.

• Independently manage multiple commercial analytics workflows from question definition through final delivery
