Lead Data Analyst

Role Overview

We are seeking a Lead Data Analyst to own the analytical direction for a domain, drive its metric definitions, and lead a small team of data analysts. This position plays a key role in supporting the Analytics & Reporting department and reports to the Manager, Analytics & Reporting (with a dotted line to the Director, Data & Analytics), ensuring alignment with organizational goals, operational excellence, and compliance standards.

What You Will Do

Set the analytical direction for a domain, drive metric definitions, manage data analysts, own the sequencing of analysis, and take on hard questions in the domain.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate has a track record as the senior analyst others checked their work with, deep SQL skills, experience setting metric definitions, and experience managing or leading analysts.

Requirements

• A track record as the senior analyst others checked their work with on ambiguous business questions that ended in a decision someone acted on.
• Deep SQL: comfortable in a warehouse with a few hundred dbt models, able to read other people’s SQL critically, and checks for fan-out before trusting a total.
• Experience setting metric definitions that other people then had to live with, documented well enough that they held.
• Experience managing or leading analysts, or informal experience doing so and wanting the accountability that comes with the title.
• Judgment about your own results: a number that looks great or alarming gets validated against a second source before it is shared.
• Able to explain a finding to an operations lead, an account manager, and the Director in the same week, and to tell an account team what the data does not support without hedging or overclaiming.
• Comfort working in an unfinished stack, with two migrations in flight and the ground moving.
• Treats PHI, masking, BAAs, and role-based access as part of the daily workflow by default, not a compliance review at the end.
• Strong understanding of healthcare data, PHI, and HIPAA requirements.
• Proven ability to lead a small team and drive performance across the domain.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and data-driven decision-making skills.

Benefits

• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Regular meetings with the Analytics & Reporting team, direct reports, and Data & Analytics leadership to ensure alignment.
• Periodic on-site visits to the Columbus distribution center and call center are expected, primarily during onboarding, to understand the operation the data describes.
