About the Senior Director of Analytics
We are hiring a Senior Director of Analytics to build and lead the data backbone of our company. This role is for someone who can do it all analytically - someone who writes SQL in the morning, sets a multi-year data strategy in the afternoon, and leads a team that delivers real outcomes, not slide decks.
You will take ownership of our analytics function: the people, the systems, the roadmap, and the results. This role reports to the SVP Strategy & Analytics.
If you want to build, lead, and own something that actually matters, this is that role.
What you’ll do
- Lead and develop a team of analysts and developers (onshore and offshore); set direction and hold a high bar.
- Work with senior leadership to turn company strategy into clear, measurable analytics outputs.
- Translate business problems into precise data workflows and reporting that drive action.
- Ensure high quality output and build out our QC function.
- Own the full Power BI reporting ecosystem—clinic, provider, operator, and central dashboards.
- Build and execute the 2-3 year roadmap for the analytics function.
Qualifications of the Senior Director of Analytics
- 5-10 years in an analytics heavy role with a track record of building and shipping.
- Proficient in Python and SQL; you can dive into raw data and partner with the analysts in the nitty gritty.
- Strong experience with Snowflake; Athena and dbt are a plus.
- Experience with claims or value-based care analytics is a plus, not a requirement.
- Exceptional at breaking down and solving complex reporting logic.
- Skilled at translating messy business problems into clean, precise reporting requirements.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and AI tools (ChatGPT or similar).
- Clear, direct communicator—written, verbal, and executive-facing.
- Proven leader who can influence across teams and move stakeholders toward alignment.
- Comfortable running multiple projects at once without losing the thread.
- Strategic thinker who can also operate tactically when the moment demands it.
- Naturally curious; always pushing to improve systems, tools, and outcomes.
- Thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments; steady under ambiguity.
- Highly organized with a talent for building scalable, repeatable processes.
