• Support the development of financial opportunity estimates and business cases for new and existing initiatives, including establishment of baseline performance and ongoing evaluation of realized results.
• Proactively identify areas requiring deeper investigation and conduct root-cause analyses to explain performance variation or unexpected results.
• Manage multiple analytical workstreams and initiative measurement priorities simultaneously, responding to emerging business needs while maintaining rigor and consistency in analytical methodologies.
• Develop and maintain trusted working relationships across UPMC, frequently engaging with senior leaders, physicians, clinical teams, finance leaders, analysts, and operational stakeholders.
