Job description

Customer & Solutions · United States · Senior level

This role sits between clients and internal product and engineering teams. The person helps health plan customers set up and improve automated prior authorization decisions, turns their requirements into clear technical plans, and tracks results through reports and dashboards. A strong candidate has about five years of client-facing work, solid SQL and Tableau or PowerBI skills, and a good grasp of clinical workflows and healthcare rules.

How it fits the AI era

AI handles the approval decisions at scale, so the analyst's work shifts to deciding which requests are safe to automate, watching how the automation performs, and tuning it over time. Judgment about patient impact, ethical handling of health data, and trust with client teams stay human. Reading the data and explaining it plainly to clinical and business leaders matters more as the automation grows.

How it builds AI experience

The role offers close, hands-on exposure to an AI platform that auto-approves a large share of prior authorization requests for health plans. Day to day, that means learning how automation rates, accuracy and client goals connect, and shaping what gets built next. Someone preparing could study how prior authorization works, practice measuring automation performance with SQL, and build a sample dashboard on public healthcare data.

Worth showing

• SQL on healthcare data
• Client relationship wins
• Prior authorization knowledge
• Turning needs into requirements
