Insurance Operations Analyst

Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin. BETTER TOGETHER

The Insurance Operations Analyst is a versatile and highly analytical role within the Insurance Operations team, which includes the Enrollment, Claims, and Premium Billing departments. This position is responsible for leading and supporting a wide range of project-based initiatives that enhance operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve data stewardship across the organization.

Operating independently under the guidance of the Insurance Operations Manager, the Analyst serves as a key internal resource for complex tasks supporting front‑line staff. These tasks may include recurring operational processes, ad hoc project requests, and cross‑functional efforts that require coordination with Information Technology and other business units. They will play a pivotal role in interpreting and reconciling data from multiple systems, identifying process improvement opportunities, and ensuring that internal operations align with external requirements from regulators and business partners.

While the role is primarily internally focused, it supports the organization’s ability to meet external obligations through rigorous internal analysis and coordination.

A strong command of Microsoft Excel is essential, including advanced functions such as pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, and conditional logic. They will also work within the Epic electronic medical records system to extract and analyze data relevant to insurance operations. While no programming is required, the role demands a high level of data literacy and problem‑solving ability.

The Insurance Operations Analyst must be comfortable shifting between leadership and support roles depending on the nature of the project. They will often spearhead initiatives, drive process documentation, and collaborate with department leads to implement solutions. The role will understand, explain, and document the relationship between different areas in the Insurance Operations space, growing into a subject matter expert on internal workflows.
