The Superpowers You’ll Be Bringing To The Team

Technical proficiency: 5+ years in a technical analytics environment, leading data analytics and data science projects. You ideally bring together healthcare sector knowledge and technical expertise.

Technical and consulting capability: Strong understanding of data preparation, analytics concepts, and model development. Advanced capability in either hands‑on analytics (Python/R, building models and solutions) or consulting (problem structuring, stakeholder management, translating technical findings into business recommendations). Regardless of path, you’re technically literate enough to lead technical teams and make informed decisions about analytical approaches. Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) is valued as we increasingly deploy solutions in cloud environments.

Project delivery: Track record of leading and delivering complex, multi‑stakeholder projects from conception to implementation.

Communication excellence: Excellent communication skills with ability to present technical concepts to clinical, business, and executive audiences, including the ability to create compelling slide decks.

AI enthusiasm: Genuine passion and interest in AI, with active use of tools like Claude or ChatGPT in your work or personal life. You don’t take AI outputs on faith – you verify and validate AI‑generated work to ensure accuracy and quality. Comfort working with modern cloud‑based analytics infrastructure as we deploy AI and analytics solutions at scale.

Commercial acumen and trusted advisor approach: You understand project economics and can identify business development opportunities. Whether you’re from consulting or transitioning from industry, you translate technical capabilities into business value and build relationships that lead to sustained client partnerships.
