In this high-impact role, you will leverage advanced SQL, Databricks, and Tableau to design complex analytical solutions, build interactive dashboards, and deliver actionable insights across clinical, financial, and operational domains.

As a subject matter expert, you will work directly with internal executives, operational leaders, and external provider partners to translate business needs into data-driven conclusions, while also mentoring junior analysts on the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced Data Querying & Analysis: Develop, optimize, and maintain complex SQL queries and data pipelines within Databricks from scratch to analyze large-scale, multi-domain healthcare datasets.
• Dashboards & Self-Service Analytics: Design, build, and deploy intuitive Tableau dashboards and reporting tools that track program performance, operational metrics, and clinical outcomes for end-user adoption.
• Requirements & Consultative Engagement: Collaborate directly with business partners to define analytics requirements, design ad-hoc studies, and present clear, data-backed recommendations to executive stakeholders.
• Healthcare Domain Delivery: Conduct in-depth analysis across key integrated health system domains, including:
• Medical expense, utilization, and financial trend analysis
• Quality measurement (HEDIS reporting, STAR ratings, and clinical gaps)
• Population health, risk stratification, and patient segmentation
• Network management, value-based contracting, and provider scoring
• Ambulatory, acute, and post-acute clinical performance metrics
• Data Quality & Governance: Perform data stewardship functions, monitor data accuracy, validate metrics, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
• Mentorship & Leadership: Serve as a technical resource and subject matter expert—onboarding new team members and mentoring junior analysts in query logic, data visualization, and healthcare analytics best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Healthcare Experience: Strong background working within an integrated delivery network, health plan, or clinical health system. Deep familiarity with healthcare data structures, claims, and clinical concepts.
• Advanced SQL: Proven expertise writing, testing, and tuning complex SQL queries from scratch (joins, CTEs, window functions, conditional aggregation) rather than simply modifying existing code.
• Modern Data Stack (Databricks): Hands-on experience working with Databricks for data engineering, querying, and processing enterprise-scale healthcare datasets.
• Data Visualization (Tableau): Strong proficiency designing, building, and maintaining interactive Tableau dashboards and visual analytics.
• Communication & Engagement: Excellent oral and written communication skills with the consultative ability to translate technical data into clear insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Problem-Solving: Proven track record of independently navigating ambiguous business questions and delivering structured, analytical solutions.
