4d • $97,900 - $133,500 • Remote

About The Position

The Senior Informaticist role is designed for individuals who consistently take ownership of ambiguous, high-impact business problems and deliver practical, analytically grounded solutions. Deep healthcare domain expertise is valuable, but we place equal emphasis on structured thinking, intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and the ability to create clarity when no established answer exists. Your success requires intellectual curiosity, structured thinking, and the ability to navigate imperfect information. You have demonstrated ownership of difficult problems, translating ambiguity into applicable solutions while building trust and understanding across stakeholders. The Senior Informaticist serves as a strategic problem solver who partners across business, operations, technology, and analytics teams to address complex and often ambiguous challenges. You will identify opportunities, framing problems, evaluating alternatives, and delivering grounded recommendations that guide measurable outcomes. Success requires the ability to create clarity in uncertain situations, balance competing priorities, and develop practical solutions when perfect information is not available.

• Experience making recommendations in situations where data, stakeholder priorities, or business conditions are imperfect or uncertain.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience presenting complex findings to senior leaders.
