Description:

We’ve developed the V0 of a product that enables health organizations to build their best provider networks with focus and speed. Now that we have strong sales traction on the MVP, we’re working to prototype a handful of data assets that will help us change how networks are built.

We’re looking for someone who can deeply understand our client and business needs, translate them into concrete research questions, and iterate until we have a solid, working solution. Our new hire will also have the chance to pick up and improve upon existing projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Work with product, engineering, and business owners to scope, execute, and iterate on a major research project that will meet our core business and client needs
  • Run quality checks on new and existing projects to ensure strong deliverables and identify and make improvements
  • Collaborate with team members to improve each other’s work
  • Be a culture carrier who people across the org want to come to for help

Qualifications:

  • 3-7+ years experience (independence and scope will change based on experience)
  • Fluency with at least basic coding (SQL, python)
  • Ability to work well with internal stakeholders to translate business needs into a data science project
  • Seeks feedback early and often to align data work with business goals
  • Strong communication skills and conceptual thinking
