YOUR ROLE

As a Lead Data Scientist on the Care Model Insights team, you will provide technical guidance and leadership to help design, build, and maintain Thyme Care’s suite of population health analytics and data products. The data products built and maintained by the Care Model Insights team allows Thyme Care to identify members for our interventions, build operational metrics to measure our effectiveness in delivery of our interventions and ultimately measure the efficacy of our interventions on better outcomes for patients and our partners.

In this role, you will work closely with stakeholders (Clinical Operations, Care Team, Product, etc) to understand the business, the outcomes we’re pushing toward and our operational cadences. It’s important that you also know how to prioritize deliverables. You will ensure that data from external sources and our internal applications is modeled, analyzed, and translated into high value insights to continuously evaluate and enhance Thyme Care’s care model. You will increase the usability of our data products to empower and educate users to derive their own insights as a self-service platform over time.

After three months on the job you:

• Know our tech stack and analytics inside and out and have contributed to building out our technological solutions such as data marts in dbt, data visualizations in Looker, and internal R packages.
• Collaborated with the product team to develop a compelling roadmap that develops solutions for challenges that our clinical and operational teams are facing.
• Understand our member populations, identify trends in and factors contributing to population health outcomes, and Thyme Care’s interventions to deliver value drivers in Thyme Care’ risk-based care contracts.
• Lead the prioritization of data science deliverables and delivery of insights to inform changes to our care model.

After six months:

• Guide analytical engineers and data scientists on the Care Model insights team to build well tested and performant pipelines and well-organized data models.
• Identify and address expected and unforeseen data complexities to mitigate their impact on the analytic outcome and associated business decisions.

• Seek diverse perspectives. You are humble and proactively seek feedback from others. You’re always looking to learn and grow.
• Domain knowledge. It’s important you come to the table with healthcare experience. You’ve worked with healthcare data such as EHR, claims, and ADT data to measure and understand cost and quality of care. We’d bet you’ve worked for a health plan, in a data role at a healthcare-focused technology startup.
• Technical expertise and leadership. You have led teams of analytical engineers and data scientists to translate data into insights and can provide technical guidance in design documents and code reviews. You have the technical skills to get our hands dirty and produce high quality work if needed.
• Curiosity. You have a drive to understand how things work and love sharing that knowledge with others.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You have a proven track record of success within scaling businesses, fast-paced environments, and ambitious startups. You know how to chart a course through ambiguous challenges.
