Data Analyst - Health, Senior

Overview

Your Role

The Medicare Quality organization is recruiting for a Senior Analyst to support quality improvement strategy and operational execution across HEDIS, Medicare Stars, member experience (CAHPS), clinical programs, and health equity initiatives.

This role will play a critical part in synthesizing data, translating analytical findings into actionable insights, and supporting the operational performance of Medicare Quality programs. While this position partners closely with the Clinical Quality Analytics (CQA) team, it remains embedded within and directly aligned to the Medicare Quality organization.

This role is ideal for an experienced analyst who can operate with independence, manage moderately complex analytical work, interpret findings for business partners, and support cross-functional quality work streams with strong analytical rigor and thoughtful communication.

The Senior Analyst will report directly to the Senior Director, Clinical Quality (Medicare Quality Leader).

Our leadership model is about developing great leaders at all levels and creating opportunities for our people to grow - personally, professionally, and financially. We are looking for leaders that are energized by creative and critical thinking, building and sustaining high-performing teams, getting results the right way, and fostering continuous learning.
