About this job
Innovation. Adaptability. A passion for analytics and problem solving. If those traits brought you here, this opportunity can take you much further. Humedica, now part of Optum, is serving the health care marketplace with the information tools and analytics solutions that will fuel change going forward. We're well past big data. In fact, we're using great data to uncover new solutions and novel marketplace opportunities. If you thrive on making an impact in an evolving market, we should be talking. Join the expanding family of UnitedHealth Group companies and help shape history. You'll help us improve the lives of others while doing your life's best work.
The environment is fast paced and innovative. Our team is highly self-directed. We are looking for others to join us who will take ownership of responsibility, work collaboratively and always look for ways to add to the personal and professional growth of the company and their peers. Humedica offers the opportunity for rapid advancement in responsibilities.
We are seeking a Data Analyst with strong deductive reasoning and analytic skills to join our data operations. The Data management team doesn't build software, we build data that is used by software, and that influences the way we approach our work. The Data Analyst role involves data analysis, process analysis, root cause deduction, some requirements gathering, and lots of communication with peers in the company. Our Data Analysts work with clinical data from a variety of different sources, and then work with data about the data. The data analysts develop queries that describe data quantitatively and qualitatively, decide on normal thresholds of variation, and investigate anomalies. The candidate will work with SQL developers, clinical informatics specialists and DBAs to build data from a number of different source systems.
Our ideal candidate will have experience in working with clinical healthcare data and data quality from its creation in the real world, through its electronic representation and manipulation, to its use by health care practitioners and quality managers.
