About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Healthcare Data Analyst to join our team. This role involves developing and maintaining integrated insights data warehouses using statistical methods to manage software and data workflows for ingesting, transforming, validating, and performing quality assurance of third-party healthcare data. You will collect, organize, interpret, and summarize numerical data to provide usable information. The position requires managing the implementation, enhancement, and ongoing maintenance of new and existing data workflows, including state-level ETL processes and SQL-based transformations. You will identify opportunities to improve data acquisition, standardization, quality assurance, and delivery across large-scale healthcare datasets. A key part of this role is architecting and maintaining healthcare data warehouses and master datasets using SQL Server, Alteryx, and orchestration frameworks, enabling longitudinal, cross-state analysis critical to provider performance measurement and regulatory compliance. You will also lead healthcare data projects involving CMS Qualified Entity (QE) datasets, including data ingestion, standardization, validation, and de-identification of healthcare records in compliance with regulatory and privacy requirements. Conducting gap analysis to identify solutions that meet documented business requirements and collaborating with development teams to ensure technical designs meet established standards are also essential. Additionally, you will develop automated business and operational workflows using Power Automate to support processes such as use case submissions, approval management, operational tracking, and analytics request fulfillment. Finally, you will design and develop analytical dashboards to track quarterly and year-over-year key performance indicator (KPI) metrics and to support monitoring and management of vendor contracts, including renewal timelines and notifications.
