  • Translate complex clinical and payer data concepts into actionable insights for cross-functional teams and leadership
  • Mentor and guide junior team members to strengthen overall team capabilities.

    • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Health Informatics, Biomedical Informatics, Pharmacy, Life Sciences, Public Health, or related field
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with healthcare data systems, clinical vocabularies, coding systems, and payer data
  • Deep expertise in drug classification and coding systems (NDC, RxNorm, ATC)
  • Advanced knowledge of diagnostic and procedural code sets (ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, HCPCS)
  • Experience with payer data, including commercial and government payers, and a history of acting as a subject matter expert
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with data modeling, transformation, and aggregation on large healthcare datasets
  • Proven ability to design, maintain, and govern complex hierarchical structures (taxonomies, ontologies, clinical groupers)
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to resolve technical challenges in healthcare data systems
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills, able to translate complex data concepts for technical and non-technical audiences
  • Familiarity with U.S. healthcare system structures, data standards, and payer mix concepts

    • Nice to Have
