Senior Data Analyst

Empassion is a Management Services Organization (MSO) focused on improving the quality of care and costs for a highly neglected “Advanced illness/ end of life” patient population. Four percent of the Medicare population but 25 percent of its costs. The impact is driven deeper with families who are left with minimal options and decreased time with their loved ones. Empassion is enabling increased access and alignment while delivering superior outcomes for patients, their communities, the healthcare system, families, and society. 

What your experience will be like:

The Data & Analytics team is a high-impact, high-visibility team that works cross-functionally with the entire organization. We are creating a robust, flexible, and modern analytics platform that is core to delivering the company’s technology and service capabilities. The Senior Data Analyst will report directly to the VP of Data & Analytics, a healthcare data practitioner with over a decade of experience in early-stage healthcare startups. They will work alongside a team of experienced Analytics Engineers and Data Analysts to build out and maintain robust data pipelines and analytics solutions to better understand our patient population using a combination of SQL, dbt, and Looker. They will partner closely with our Product-Dev, Ops, and Finance teams to deliver explanatory and actionable insights as we work to improve the care our patients receive.

Why you belong here and how you will grow:

This is an opportunity to support the buildout of Empassion’s analytics platform and to be part of a passionate, skilled, and committed team working together to realize our shared vision. We pride ourselves on providing accurate, timely, and actionable data to our internal and external users. We hold ourselves to a high standard that respects the impact our data and analytics can have on a patient’s course of care.

The Data & Analytics team is composed of specialists who can flex across different types of work as needed. The Senior Data Analyst will be  designing and building analytics models, reports, and dashboards to enable and empower Empassion and our customers to better understand their patients. We strive to build sustainable data products that our users can operate themselves day-to-day, but are highly responsive when the business has additional data needs and questions.

We are a remote company, fully distributed across the United States. We prioritize our work activities weekly and hold ourselves accountable to deliverables. We use Slack as a team and have regular Zoom touch points. We have full team offsites 2x per year and additional travel as needed (both to improve work productivity and build team trust). We are dedicated to cultivating relationships built for trust and meaningful experiences that promote your growth. We recognize the value of autonomy, flexibility, and ownership while not losing sight of the importance of real-life experiences. We do not accept anything less than respectful, supportive, and growth-oriented teammates.
