Analytics & reporting infrastructure

• Own the evolution of dashboards and reporting frameworks across Linkwell programs
• Ensure data quality, accuracy, and readiness prior to launches and major program changes
• Partner with data engineering to validate pipelines, tracking, and KPI definitions
• Serve as the connective tissue between raw data, performance insights, and strategic interpretation

Client‑facing leadership

• Lead performance readouts, insights decks, and strategic recommendations
• Act as a trusted analytics and performance advisor to health plan and partner executives
• Confidently defend methodology, results, and conclusions in high‑stakes, data‑driven discussions

Required Skills

• Deep experience with A/B and multivariate testing
• Strong funnel, cohort, and hypothesis‑driven analysis expertise
• Advanced SQL fluency
• Experience with BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar)
• Strong command of KPI definition, tracking, and measurement frameworks
• Proven ability to translate complex analyses into clear business recommendations
• Comfort operating in regulated environments with sensitive data (HIPAA/PHI awareness)
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross‑functionally with product, engineering, and client teams

Preferred Skills

• Experience working with healthcare, health plans, or other regulated industries
• Familiarity with outbound engagement platforms (email, SMS, marketing automation)
• Experience supporting experimentation in omni channel engagement programs
• Demonstrated ability to mentor analysts and shape a performance‑driven culture
