  • Communicate progress, blockers, and results clearly to non-programming stakeholders
  • Can work independently and efficiently to meet aggressive timelines where needed
  • Adapt to rapidly changing priorities
Qualifications:
  • Master's degree (or higher) in epidemiology, biostatistics, health services research, public health, or a related quantitative field, plus 5+ years of hands-on programming experience with healthcare data
  • Strong, demonstrable R and SQL skills as the primary toolset; SAS proficiency is a plus but not required
  • Direct experience programming against administrative claims data (e.g., MarketScan, Optum, Medicare LDS SAF, Komodo) and/or EHR data
  • Working knowledge of common analytic methods used in RWE (e.g., survival analysis, GLMs)
