Technical Business Analyst
GoHealth is a leading developer of Web-based sales and online insurance marketing tools for the health insurance industry, helping insurance brokers, agents and carriers connect with customers and transact business more efficiently. We are revolutionizing the health insurance industry through technology.
GoHealth made the Crain's Fast Fifty list in 2014, and we were named one of North America’s Fastest Growing Tech Companies on Deloitte’s 2014 Technology Fast 500.
This is your chance to be at the right place at the right time, and work on a product with real-life relevance for all Americans.
The Technical Business Analyst will be collaborating with a strong team, and will be working with some of the largest companies in the nation to build out solutions for one of the country's biggest concerns; health insurance.
We employ an agile methodology (Scrum) and fully embrace the fundamentals of continuous improvement, just-in-time requirements, active stakeholder participation, only as much documentation as is truly needed and processes that make sense for the organization (not for the sake of process).
It is important that this person embraces Agile, but is also well versed in other methodologies. There are times when we do produce some traditional project artifacts, at the request of our clients.
