Job Description
Blue Zones Health is creating a Well-Being Services Organization that extends healthcare beyond the clinical encounter. Traditional healthcare reporting often relies on static spreadsheets, lagging data pipelines, and reactive troubleshooting after eligibility errors or discrepancies impact patient care. We want data intelligence to be proactive, accurate, and actionable.
For every member and health plan partnership, the organization should be able to trust its eligibility data, understand enrollment trends, and surface insights before operational friction occurs. The Data Analyst function creates and maintains that core data reliability.
Data operations works as part of a broader clinical and administrative learning system. Data engineering builds pipelines, our Data Analyst safeguards quality and builds stakeholder reporting, and operational teams act on clean insights. The goal is not simply pulling reports—it is ensuring that every clinical and operational decision is backed by pristine, reliable data so our teams can focus on helping people live longer, healthier lives.
POSITION SUMMARYBlue Zones Health is building a different kind of healthcare organization—one that combines excellent clinical care with lifestyle medicine, prevention, well-being, and community to help people live longer, healthier lives.
The Data Analyst, Health Plan Data owns eligibility data quality and reporting across our health plan partnerships. You'll be the first line of defense on whether the data coming in from health plans is right, and the person who turns that data into reporting stakeholders can actually use.
The Data Analyst translates complex health plan data into clear, reliable insights, working hand-in-hand with data engineering, operations, and leadership. Working closely with our Data Engineer and cross-functional partners, you help make data quality an integrated, trusted foundation of how Blue Zones Health delivers care rather than a retrospective data cleanup exercise.
