• Support the deployment of scalable infrastructure and tooling (e.g. Snowflake, dbt, AWS, Sigma) to support analytics, reporting, and real-time data exchange with providers and partners.
• Drive high-impact analyses across claims, EHR, and real-time patient activity data, translating complex data into clear insights that inform care delivery and payer collaboration.
• Build and scale robust data pipelines and governance practices to ensure data integrity, availability, and compliance across the organization.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Clinical, and external teams to prioritize data initiatives that advance Daymark's mission and scale our value-based care model

You've worked with actuarial teams or value-based care leaders to model risk, evaluate performance, and inform contract design or shared savings arrangements.
• Strategic problem-solver: You thrive in ambiguity and are energized by building clarity from complexity. You combine hands-on technical ability with a systems-thinking mindset to design solutions that scale.
• Collaborative operator: You're a strong communicator and cross-functional partner who can navigate between technical teams and clinical leaders to drive results.
