We are looking for a thoughtful, collaborative Senior Healthcare Data Analyst to join our growing, distributed team at Coforma.

Our Senior Healthcare Data Analysts enjoy diving deep into data and processes and tackling complex problems while working with other cross-disciplinary digital services team members to shape and deliver elegant products across a modern technology stack. They enjoy diving deep into data and processes supporting healthcare delivery and are skilled experts in accessing, understanding, analyzing, and documenting data — often with code — and offering subject matter expertise to the team.
 
At Coforma, data analysts work closely with researchers and designers to translate laws, regulations, policies, and the needs of our users and partners into tangible information that enables the team to create products and services that address needs and solve problems. In this role, you will evaluate the quality and quantity of data available for crafting valuable and responsible data-driven products, including those utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
 
The ideal candidate for this role is a team player with experience working at the intersection of policy and technical services delivery. As such, your passion for articulating solutions that aim to improve lives is a feature, not a bug.
 
Join us in building software that makes an impact and implementing human-centered solutions we can be proud to say we worked on together.
