Virta Health is pioneering a new standard of care for people to reclaim their lives. We are in the midst of a public health crisis: obesity rates are at an all-time high and over half of US adults have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, and despite billions spent on new treatments, outcomes are largely worse. Virta reverses these diseases and delivers life-changing results by pairing individualized nutrition with ongoing care from a clinical support team.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in a Healthcare Analytics or Data Science role, working with large datasets and conducting statistical and quantitative modeling, melding analytics with strong programming, data mining, clustering and segmentation.
- 5+ years of work experience working data science and visualization tools (SQL, R, and/or Python)
- Advanced understanding of data storage, ETL frameworks, data transformation, and validation
- Experience in building BI dashboards using tools such as Looker or Tableau
- Ability to explain technology, techniques and approaches to others
- Experience leading cross-functional efforts to build scalable systems and data pipelines, working with complex data structures
- Understanding of Generative AI concepts and basic usage of GenAI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
Responsibilities
- Serve as data lead for the Retention Squad
- Use data to steer conversations: bring data-driven hypotheses, challenge assumptions, frame trade-offs, prioritize strategically.
- Translate vague product hunches into sharp analytical questions, and design the right approach to answer them.
- Be the source of truth for KPIs and product metrics: help define and monitor them, and identify trends and drivers.
- Drive decision making with data: Prioritize analyses that meaningfully inform product decisions and change outcomes, reframe analysis requests that won’t do that into ones that will, and design and deliver the resulting analyses properly and rapidly.
- Lead experimentation thoughtfully: guide the team on when and when not to experiment, help enable self-serve experimentation, and focus on frequent, small experiments to speed learning.
- Work end-to-end to translate clinical, member, and claims data from our data warehouse into actionable recommendations: work with stakeholders to design reports and dashboards that answer real business questions, design the data flows to support these, and build the required data transformation pipelines.
Other
