Data Analyst

Role Description

We are building MedZed’s analytics function and looking for a Data Analyst who will be a core contributor on a lean team — someone who can own and drive the analytics products the business runs on. This is a highly visible, hands-on role:

• Build the data sources, construct the dashboards, write the SQL and Python, document your work, train the people who use it, and own the backlog of enhancement requests.
• Partner with product, operations, clinical, finance, and program leadership to turn their questions into decision-grade analytics.
• Operate with autonomy, be held to high standards of rigor and polish, and deliver with fast turnaround.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and Own the Analytics Products: Design, build, and maintain the curated data sources, dashboards, and reports that drive operational decision-making across our programs. Own each product end to end — from requirements through building, documentation, training, and ongoing enhancement.
• Write the SQL and Shape the Data Model: Develop, optimize, and maintain SQL against our cloud data environment. Partner with data engineering to expose the data you need, and contribute to a sustainable, well-structured analytical layer.
• Automate Recurring Reporting: Build and maintain Python-based reporting pipelines for recurring operational, compliance, and quality deliverables. Validate rigorously — reconcile numbers to source, QA before release, and stand behind the figures you publish.
• Document, Train, and Maintain: Produce clear documentation for the data sources and dashboards you build. Train and enable the people who use them. Maintain a prioritized backlog of enhancement requests and re-prioritize as the business needs shift.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in quantitative discipline, or a degree plus equivalent real-world experience as a data analyst.
• 3+ years in data analytics roles, with a demonstrated ability to drive complex work to decision and resolution.
• Strong SQL skills — you can articulate what you need, build a sustainable model, and optimize performance.
• Advanced dashboarding/BI skills; Tableau strongly preferred (experience with product-embedded dashboards a plus).
• Proficiency with Python for data work (pandas and related libraries) and report automation.
• Strong, audience-aware written and verbal communication, with the ability to work in a self-directed environment on a lean team.
• Laser focuses on results: getting things done on time with high quality.

Preferred

• Healthcare analytics experience, especially Medicaid and California CalAIM; EMR or care management system reporting.
• Familiarity with dimensional/Kimball data modeling and the bronze/silver/gold (medallion) pattern.
• Azure (SQL, cloud data services); exposure to Databricks a plus.
• Familiarity with Salesforce / Health Cloud as a data source.
• Comfort using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development — with the judgment to validate and hone generated output.
• Customer-facing experience in an analytics role.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Remote-first work environment
• High-impact role
• The opportunity to build meaningful analytics products at a mission-driven healthcare company
