We are building the next generation of clinical and affordability insights and we are looking for a thoughtful, innovative leader to help shape the future.

• Translate complex clinical, claims, and trend research into compelling insights that guide business action and executive decision‑making.
• Uncover and explain relationships between key cost and clinical drivers, including authorizations, diagnostic categories, episodes of care, and utilization patterns.
• Partner closely with clinical, financial, and operational stakeholders to build meaningful analytics capabilities, performance indicators, and decision tools.
• Apply advanced analytics, predictive models, and AI techniques to evaluate member‑level data and develop new methods for anomaly detection and risk identification.
• Influence affordability outcomes by enhancing predictive capabilities that identify savings opportunities and engagement strategies.
• Monitor and evaluate external data sources to inform trend narratives, projections, and long‑term affordability planning.
• Leverage large, complex datasets by collaborating with data engineering, technology, and visualization teams to deliver scalable, high‑impact solutions.
• Recruit, develop, and lead a high‑performing team of analytical innovators, fostering a culture of curiosity, accountability, and continuous learning.
