About Us

EvolutionIQ’s mission is to deliver state of the art technology that helps insurance claims teams make claims handling more accurate, fair, and efficient, so that more people impacted by injury or illness can continue their lives with dignity and stability.

Our team is our #1 priority, and we have been named one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces 3 years in a row and Built In’s Best Places to work in 2025 and 2026! As a Senior Business Analyst on the Data Science & Insights team you will translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive operational change and measurable client outcomes. You will serve as a primary thought partner for Client Strategy in brainstorming new analytical opportunities, defining KPIs, and developing robust, scalable, and trustworthy reporting to inform business strategy. You will lead technical development across the Data Science & Insights portfolio, from writing SQL queries to developing reusable Python tools to creating Looker dashboards. You will drive the development of scalable client analytics, from automated reporting and self-service QBRs to high-impact ROI storytelling, while acting as a trusted analytical advisor across Product, Client Services, Sales, and Data Science. The quality of your insights will directly influence product direction, client retention, and how the business evaluates and prioritizes opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Data Storytelling: Create high-impact visualizations and business cases that demonstrate the ROI of AI integration to our B2B clients.
• Stakeholder Synthesis: Collaborate with clients and executive leadership to translate complex business questions into actionable insights. Probe beyond the initial question to uncover the underlying business problems that need solving.
• Driving Clarity: Challenge assumptions not just in your own data and analysis, but in those of your stakeholders. Ensure all team members are aligned on approach and vision.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years as a Business Analyst, Data Scientist, Consulting, or similar role.
• Industry experience in Disability Insurance or Tech preferred.
• Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in Python (Pandas/Polars, script development), SQL, data modeling (e.g. dbt), and data visualization tools (Tableau, PowerBI, Looker) to perform independent "deep dives" into claim performance data.
• Strategic Communication: Proven ability to explain the "Why" behind an AI recommendation to non-technical users.
• Domain Expertise: Familiarity with claims management workflows, "duration compression" concepts, and the regulatory landscape of disability insurance is preferred.
