Job description

You are passionate about leveraging data, machine learning/AI and operational execution to improve patient outcomes. Your mandate will be to build a worldclass data science function that develops, deploys and maintains data marts and machine learning models as well as assesses the impact of our clinical interventions. You care deeply about outcomes and impact. You are a deeply collaborative leader who can help bridge the gap between clinical strategy, operational execution and technology. You have rich experience with health plan (claims, eligibility, pharmacy) and clinical (EMR, HIE) data. You can build data-marts in DBT and leverage those data marts to build new machine learning models.

Who We Are

Oasis Health Partners (Oasis) is an all-in-one partner for independent primary care practices. We focus on Medicare value-based care programs, including Medicare Advantage and MSSP, and surround practices with the practical support they need to deliver better care while building durable, independent businesses.

Our model helps physicians spend more time on proactive, high-value care for seniors while Oasis brings the data, tools and team to support them behind the scenes. We are building a fast-growing network of independent PCPs and IPAs, backed by leading healthcare investors and scaling into new markets as we expand our suite of provider solutions. We are committed to keeping independent medicine strong — and we are looking for people who want to build that future with us.

Your Role

This will also require building sophisticated analytical data models to help support the overall data needs of the organization.

As a Principal Data Scientist, you will:

• Own our machine learning strategy and execution
• Build foundational infrastructure that will allow Oasis to scale its ML implementations
• Own MLOps Engineering – be able to automate, deploy, and monitor ML models
• Join an Oasis “workstream” and become the trusted analytics expert for that function.
• Build analytics data models in DBT to support underlying analytics
• Identify additional sources of data we can use to identify / risk stratify patients for intervention, and understand the impact of our program
• Build out predictive models to identify target patient cohorts
• Utilize AI/LLMs to advance patient and provider engagement
• Analyze clinical data we receive from payors and providers
• Analyze clinical program performance
• Analyze workflow and operational data
• Develop the analytics layer to support executive and operational dashboards
