Senior Data Scientist
We all depend on healthcare throughout our lifetimes, for ourselves, and our families and friends, but it is notoriously difficult to navigate and understand. As an industry that comprises 20% of the US economy we think healthcare should work better for all of us. At Collective Health we believe it’s time for a new day in healthcare where as members we are informed and empowered to make the right care choices when the decisions are urgent and critical.
The Analytics and Business Intelligence team is a cross-collaborative team working with nearly all departments in the company. We are a creative and compassionate, data-driven group of actuaries, analysts, and data scientists. We work together on larger projects but we also spend time driving our own analyses and working directly with internal stakeholders.
This role is critical to our data-driven decision making processes for the product development organization as well as other business intelligence stakeholders. You will master our varied types of data from healthcare claims data, digital engagement data, product performance data, and operational data, and design and execute statistical and analytical methodologies for estimating ROI and quantifying business opportunities. You will have a meaningful role with high visibility across the company and the opportunity to mentor and collaborate with others.
While we are embracing a remote-flexible work week, employees are expected to be within commuting distance of an office. The frequency of in-office days will be determined on a team-by-team basis closer to the reopening of our offices.
What you'll do:
- Develop data driven advanced models for estimating impact or ROI of our business activities
- Propose novel data sources or data science methods to augment insights

Qualifications:

Your skills include:

- Understanding of statistical techniques and experimental methods, such as linear regression, clustering, hypothesis testing, etc.
- Stakeholder management, sometimes with competing priorities
- Ability to know when & how to balance the tradeoff between perfect solutions and ‘good enough’ solutions
- Able to autonomously explore and execute advanced analytical/statistical techniques with the guidance and support of your manager and colleagues
