đź“‹ Description

  • • As a Data Analyst III at Centene Corporation, you will play a pivotal role in transforming the health of our 28 million members by extracting valuable insights from extensive and integrated datasets. Your work will directly influence critical business decisions, aiming to reduce the overall cost of care and enhance clinical outcomes for our members.
  • • You will be responsible for interpreting and analyzing complex data from a variety of sources, including claims, provider, member, and encounter data. This involves identifying significant trends and assessing their potential business impact, providing a foundation for strategic initiatives.
  • • A core part of your role will involve developing, maintaining, and troubleshooting intricate scripts and reports. Proficiency in SQL is essential for querying large databases, and you will also leverage tools like Microsoft Excel and other advanced analytics platforms to deliver actionable data products.
  • • You will contribute significantly to the planning and execution of large-scale projects, often with minimal direct supervision from leadership. This requires a proactive approach to problem-solving and a strong understanding of project lifecycles.
  • • A key responsibility is to assist in the design, testing, and implementation of process enhancements. You will actively identify opportunities for automation within data analysis workflows, driving efficiency and accuracy.
  • • You will be tasked with identifying data irregularities, performing thorough root-cause analysis, and presenting your findings and proposed solutions to leadership and/or customers. This demands a keen eye for detail and strong analytical capabilities.
  • • This role requires the ability to manage multiple, variable tasks and data review processes concurrently. You must thrive in a demanding, quickly changing environment, consistently meeting targeted timelines while maintaining a high standard of work.
  • • A strong sense of ownership over your projects is crucial. You will be expected to ask probing questions to fully understand the business value of each task and ensure your analysis aligns with strategic objectives.
  • • You will apply your expertise in quantitative analysis, data mining, and data presentation to go beyond surface-level numbers. Understanding how customers interact with analytic products will be key to deriving meaningful insights.
  • • Collaboration is paramount. You will partner cross-functionally with stakeholders at all levels of the organization. Effectively communicating your findings and insights, both verbally and visually, to non-technical business partners will be a critical success factor.
  • • You will independently engage with customers and business partners to gather detailed requirements and validate the accuracy and relevance of your results, ensuring that the analysis meets business needs.
  • • You will be responsible for communicating and presenting data-driven insights and recommendations to both internal and external stakeholders. This includes actively soliciting and incorporating feedback to refine your deliverables.
  • • As a Data Analyst III, you will also provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior analysts, fostering a collaborative and learning-oriented team environment.
  • • This position offers the opportunity to work remotely from California, contributing to Centene's mission of transforming the health of communities through data-driven strategies.
  • • The role emphasizes a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement, whether in data quality, analytical processes, or business outcomes. Your insights will directly shape how Centene serves its members and manages healthcare costs.
