This role drives analytic insight and operational execution to improve Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings.

You will partner with Stars business leads and the Stars Data Science (DS) teams to translate measure definitions into robust datasets, dashboards, and actionable analytic narratives-leveraging our internal Stars data warehouse and contributing to their data inputs and outputs where appropriate.

Baseline cloud engineering skills on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)-especially Big Query, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub/Dataflow (Apache Beam), and secure IAM patterns-are required to build and sustain data pipelines that feed Stars reporting, analytics, and self-service tools, consistent with healthcare data governance and HIPAA expectations.

• Build and maintain analytic assets that align to CMS Star Ratings methodology for Part C & Part D
• Data sourcing & pipeline development (GCP)
• Design and operate basic GCP data pipelines (Big Query SQL, Dataflow/Apache Beam jobs, Pub/Sub ingestion, Cloud Storage staging) with appropriate schema management, data quality checks, and lineage documentation; apply least‑privilege IAM access and PHI/PII handling practices.
• Platform partnership (Stars DI)
• Collaborate with Stars Strategy & Data science product owners to supply/consume data from Enterprise (PBM, EDW), Stars platforms such as SCP and SMT, ensuring freshness, accuracy, and usability for analysts and business partners.
• Insight delivery & storytelling
• Translate complex performance patterns into concise narratives, executive-ready visuals, and so‑what recommendations for interventions (member outreach, provider engagement, operational process changes).
• Compliance & governance
• Operate within CMS compliance, HIPAA, and internal data governance standards; document assumptions, calculation logic, and audit trails aligned to Stars reporting controls.

• Experience:
  
  5+ years in healthcare analytics, including at least 3+ years working directly on Medicare Stars (Part C/Part
  
  D) or adjacent quality programs (HEDIS®, CAHPS, HOS).
• GCP fundamentals:
  Hands‑on with Big Query (SQL, partitioning, optimization), Cloud Storage, IAM roles/service accounts, and at least one pipeline/streaming technology (Dataflow, Pub/Sub) for ingestion or transformation.
• Data skills:
  Advanced SQL; practical Python for ETL/EDA; comfort with data quality/validation frameworks and version control (Git).
• Analytics & BI:
  Experience building metric definitions, dashboards, and self‑service datasets; fluency with at least one BI tool (e.g., Looker/Looker Studio, Tableau, Power BI).
• Healthcare compliance:
  Working knowledge of HIPAA and PHI/PII handling.
• Communication:
