About the role

  • Engaging with sales leads as a “human explicability layer,” up-leveling understanding for non-technical audiences to ensure that complex underwriting results are communicated clearly to drive sales.
  • Leading complex and dynamic collaborations between the Data Science and Growth teams.
  • Helping us refine the competitiveness of our value-based care contracts.
  • Ensuring quality and availability of various data sources.
  • Leveraging a deep understanding of ML concepts (e.g., using SHAP or feature importance but also less formal quantitative instinct) to consult on the application of payment models.
  • Designing and engineering analytics tooling to stress-test our underwriting outputs.
  • Deepening knowledge of healthcare models.
  • Evaluating vendors and technologies.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in performing results-driven quantitative analysis in a healthcare management or professional consulting environment.
  • A degree in statistics, applied math, computer science, engineering or a related field (e.g., healthcare policy) is strongly preferred.
  • SQL expertise and strong foundation in at least one of the main data science programming languages (Python, R, Julia, Scala, Matlab). Python is our current primary language and is preferred.
  • Eloquent communicator who can communicate deep technical nuance to internal teams while up-leveling understanding for lay audiences.
  • Relish synthesizing the complexity of the healthcare/financial ecosystem into actionable insights that provide value to providers.
  • A proven mentor who fosters a culture of technical rigor and mentors more junior team members.
  • A proven ability to apply research and analytic models to inform growth operations, with a high "hit rate" that indicates accurate intuition for promising nascent research.
Benefits
  • We offer a competitive benefits package. More on our careers page.
