Job Description
Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.
Your Impact
In the role of a Healthcare Analytics Analyst, you will be part of our consulting teams with a focus on quantitative analyses and AI/ML approaches, continuously developing our portfolio of data-driven solutions and innovative approaches.
You will work closely with our healthcare clients from various sectors such as public bodies, health insurance companies or providers, utilizing your project management skills and communication with diverse stakeholders.
In the Healthcare Team, we act entrepreneurially. Therefore, we are looking for someone motivated to continuously improve the status quo and drive this independently.
As a Healthcare Analytics Analyst, you are expected to have experience handling large datasets, particularly in analysis and modeling. Your daily tasks will include analyzing and modeling large datasets, as well as working closely with our Data Engineers in building and maintaining our proprietary platforms and solutions. You will develop dashboards and ML/AI models, utilizing both low-code/no-code tools and Python and visualization tools. In daily operations, you will collaborate closely with our Data Engineering colleagues, our Knowledge and Insights experts, and our consulting teams to prepare and execute client work. Besides serving clients as part of an engagement, you will be helping to build healthcare assets and knowledge, driving the firm’s proprietary innovation portfolio.
We offer challenging tasks in an exceptionally dedicated team with many opportunities for further growth and personal development.
Your Growth
Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
When you join us, you will have:
- Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
- Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package, which includes medical, dental, mental health, and vision coverage for you, your spouse/partner, and children.
