Job description

Director Data Analytics at Molina Healthcare - Remote US — Remote

This is a Director-level leadership role at Molina Healthcare, a large managed care organization operating across multiple U.S. states. While the posting mentions the ability to work with remote staff, it does not explicitly state this is a fully remote position — making it likely hybrid or office-based in nature for a Director-level hire.

From a digital nomad perspective, this role presents notable constraints:

• Timezone requirements: Cross-departmental collaboration (IT, Finance, Actuarial, Claims) and managing a data analytics team strongly imply regular synchronous meetings during U.S. business hours.
• Regulatory oversight: CMS and state-level reporting deadlines impose rigid timelines, limiting the schedule flexibility nomads typically seek.
• Team management: Mentoring and coaching direct reports in real time makes pure async work impractical at this level.

If remote work is confirmed, a U.S.-based nomad could theoretically work from lower-cost domestic locations. However, international nomad setups are not well-suited here — there is no salary listed, but Director-level healthcare analytics roles in the U.S. typically range $130K–$180K/year, which would stretch comfortably in destinations like Lisbon or Medellín, but visa/legal compliance as a U.S. employee abroad adds complexity. Look for fully async, contractor-friendly analytics roles if location independence is your priority.
