At Springbuk, our vision is to prevent disease with data. We are creating real change in healthcare by empowering smarter decision-making via our Health Intelligence platform. Our team is nationwide; we work hard, we win together, and we share an inspiring company culture.On the Data Management Support team, a Data Analyst is responsible for evaluating healthcare data–ensuring its successful mapping through our data pipeline, understanding its representation on our platforms, and communicating findings across teams.
Success in this role involves reading and writing a lot of SQL (PostgreSQL and Snowflake experience is a plus) and some Python (for healthcare data normalization). In concert with other Support Analysts, you will also use Slack, Jira, and your analytic skills to help our colleagues provide answers to client questions about their healthcare data. This could mean explaining a data anomaly, or setting expectations for remediating a data issue and then seeing that remediation through to completion. Ultimately the Data Management Support team understands, defends, and facilitates the integrity of Springbuk’s healthcare data so that clients can use our platforms to produce actionable healthcare insights with confidence.
Here’s what you will do:
- Work on a team of data analysts to ensure the quality, coverage, and accuracy of healthcare claims and eligibility data
- Develop and maintain data quality software tools to analyze data, detect errors, and report anomalies
- Use SQL and spreadsheet programs to perform data analysis and validation
- Read and write Python for data transformation
- Interpret Springbuk’s Data Quality Reports to ensure accurate data delivery to clients
- Analyze data related to client-reported issues; find inconsistencies and make programming adjustments in Python to prevent further issues
- Review our data pipeline’s Quality Assurance checks performed during the data normalization process
- Complete audits of client data using vendor-provided control reporting; communicate with vendors to resolve issues as needed
- Engage with people in other roles at Springbuk, including Data Engineers, Client Success Managers, and Implementation Project Managers to answer questions, audit financial reports, and resolve client issues
- Develop and maintain standards and best practices for ensuring data quality
- Develop coding and software skills with mentorship from Springbuk’s broader Technology organization
