  • Analyze and map data from external payer sources and internal systems (EMR, CRM, operational platforms) into the enterprise data model
  • Maintain source-to-target mappings, transformation logic, and standardized data definitions across payer and internal feeds
  • Identify payer-specific variations, data quality issues, and structural differences; support normalization within the data warehouse

Data Quality & Governance

  • Validate data ingestion and transformations through profiling, reconciliation, and exception analysis
  • Define and implement data quality rules and monitoring frameworks for all critical data pipelines
  • Develop and enforce data governance policies including metadata management, lineage tracking, and compliance standards

Collaboration & Delivery

  • Partner with data engineering and senior analysts to ensure scalable, accurate, and well-documented ingestion pipelines
  • Serve as subject matter expert for integrated payer and internal data, supporting analytics, reporting, and operational use cases
  • Lead discovery sessions with stakeholders to document technical specifications, data elements, and business requirements
  • Translate clinical, operational, and business requirements into clear data and system specifications
  • Ensure assigned integration stories are delivered on time and fully prepared for engineering implementation

Required Qualifications

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • 4-5 years of experience in data warehousing, data integration, or business intelligence roles
  • Experience with healthcare payer data including 834, 837, HEDIS, pharmacy, census, and RAF datasets

Technical Skills

  • Advanced SQL skills and strong understanding of relational database concepts
  • Deep working knowledge of enterprise data warehouse and data mart architecture
  • 2 years of experience with cloud-based data platforms (e.g., Snowflake)
  • 1 years of experience with data governance and data quality frameworks and tools (e.g., Atlan, Collibra, Alation)

Process & Soft Skills

  • Familiarity with Scrum/Agile methodologies and tools such as Jira
