Senior / Lead Analyst, Customer Insights
Arcadia is dedicated to happier, healthier days for all. We believe that there is a better healthcare world - one powered by data. Our platform transforms complex, diverse data into a unified foundation for health, helping organizations deliver better care, boost revenue, and lower costs.
We’re a team of fiercely driven individuals committed to making healthcare more sustainable-and we’re looking for passionate people to help us get there.

Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia
Analytics sits at the center of how Arcadia turns complex healthcare data into better outcomes and smarter decisions.
On the product side, that means building and owning the productized analytics engines - risk, medical economics, episodes-of-care, and more - that power Arcadia's platform company-wide, built once and delivered at scale across our entire customer base.
On the Customer Insights side, that means going deep on a specific customer's specific problem: custom data models, bespoke dashboards, advisory work, and long-running embedded programs that don't fit a one-size-fits-all product. We describe Customer Insights' work as sitting between a platform and a plan - more customized and hands-on than an off-the-shelf reporting product, more flexible and embedded in the customer's actual decisions than a traditional outsourced consulting engagement.
We're currently hiring for several closely related analyst roles across this broader Analytics organization - spanning ownership of one of Arcadia's core analytics engines, program-specific analytical development for a major state Medicaid risk-stratification initiative, versatile project and retainer delivery across our health system and payer customers, and dedicated analytics support for a major national health plan's Medicaid program. All of these roles sit at the Senior Analyst or Lead Analyst level, combine technical excellence with real influence over analytic strategy and (for some placements) product direction, and shape how Arcadia and its customers use data to improve population health outcomes, reduce costs, and enable smarter healthcare decisions.
The skills and experience below are characteristic across these roles as a set - not every requirement applies to every specific seat, and we don't expect any one candidate to bring all of it. We'll work with you during the interview process to identify which role is the best fit for your background and interests.
What Success Looks Like
In 3 months
- Ramp into your specific engagement's data model, technical stack, and stakeholder relationships - every Customer Insights engagement has real history and context to build into, not a blank slate
- Learn Arcadia's core analytics platform and toolset (QuickSight, Foundry, dbt, the AWS ecosystem) as used in your engagement
- Deliver your first piece of analytical work that demonstrates clear value to your engagement's stakeholders
In 6 months
- Own meaningful pieces of delivery independently - whether that's a program's analytical development, a portfolio of retainer/project work, or a dedicated account's dashboarding and reporting
- Be a credible, independent presence in front of the customers or partners tied to your engagement
- Contribute to at least one reusable analytical asset, framework, or automation that extends beyond your immediate engagement
- Begin taking on the ongoing health of your area, not just its delivery - standing up a backlog/tech-debt process, or growing into a broader backup role alongside your engagement's primary owner, depending on placement
In 12 months
- Be a recognized expert in your engagement area, trusted with its most complex or ambiguous work
- Actively identify and pursue opportunities for automation, scalability, and reuse across your work
- Have grown into deeper ownership than where you started - full backup or co-owner on an account, sole steward of a program's tech-debt and backlog, or, for analytics-engine placements, the architect shaping that engine's roadmap toward being market-leading
What You'll Be Doing
- Translate ambiguous or partially-scoped business and clinical questions into a concrete, buildable data plan, then build the underlying data model, code, and analysis on top of it
- Develop and maintain analytical pipelines and reusable data assets using SQL, dbt, and Arcadia's core data platform (Foundry, AWS data lake environments)
- For analytics-engine placements: serve as the lead analytics strategist for at least one of Arcadia's productized analytics engines (e.g., risk, medical economics, episodes-of-care), owning it end-to-end while contributing to others
- For engagements involving predictive or risk models: design and build the models, partnering with a dedicated Data Science team on training and validation - a consultative relationship, not a daily modeling partnership
- Build dashboards, provider scorecards, registries, and other analytical deliverables (QuickSight and beyond) on top of that modeling work, as the engagement calls for it
- Maintain the analytical integrity and quality of your work, flagging issues before they reach a customer or partner; for senior placements, oversee analytic quality standards and rigor across engagements more broadly, not just your own
- Manage delivery - whether that's a single program's delivery calendar and decision log, or a portfolio of concurrent projects across multiple customers - surfacing risks and tradeoffs before they become blocking issues
- Create client-facing materials - status decks, decision memos, technical explainers - tailored to a range of stakeholders, from highly technical counterparts to policy or business stakeholders with limited technical background
- Delegate routine or repeatable work to junior analysts as your engagement grows, and help cross-train others for coverage
- Lead cross-functional analytic initiatives that span multiple teams or engagements
- Serve as a primary or supporting day-to-day contact for your engagement's customers or delivery partners, navigating scope and timeline conversations directly
- Partner with Customer Management, Growth, Product, and/or Engineering - depending on placement - on account strategy, product direction, or analytics roadmap; for analytics-engine placements, partner closely with product and engineering to deliver Arcadia's analytics roadmap and contribute directly to product innovation
- Hold real authority at the boundaries where your work meets someone else's - able to require rework or hold a handoff that isn't ready (e.g., with a partner Data Science team), or push back on what's actually worth building with Customer Management, Growth, or Product, rather than defaulting to whatever's asked
- Act as an internal thought leader on your area of expertise, contributing to Arcadia's broader analytics strategy and reusable methodology - and, for some placements, an external one, representing Arcadia's analytic capabilities at customer meetings, industry conferences, and in publications
- Mentor and develop junior analysts, building organizational capacity beyond your own individual delivery
- Take ownership of your area's long-term health, not just its immediate delivery - a backlog/tech-debt log, a growing backup role on an account, or a roadmap for an analytics engine, depending on placement
- Apply AI tooling as a standard part of your workflow - analysis, QA, documentation - not an occasional accelerant
- Identify opportunities for automation, scalability, and reusability in analytical delivery, and help build those improvements out

- Healthcare data experience - claims and/or clinical data, with value-based care familiarity
- Direct customer- or partner-facing experience - comfortable scoping and presenting without close oversight
- Comfortable adopting AI tooling as a standard part of an analytical workflow
- For Lead-level placement: demonstrated experience leading analytical work independently, managing multiple stakeholders, and mentoring less experienced analysts

Would Love For You To Have
- Experience with dbt-based analytics engine development (e.g., risk, medical economics, episodes-of-care) and partnering with product/engineering on roadmap
- Dashboarding experience - QuickSight or a comparable BI tool
- Enough quantitative/ML fluency to build models and hand them to a Data Science team for training
- Experience with medical economics, risk algorithms, quality data, and/or episodes-of-care analytics
- Prior experience with state Medicaid programs or similar large government health programs
- Prior experience in a project-based/retainer delivery model spanning multiple customers, rather than a single dedicated account

- Experience presenting analytic capabilities externally - customer meetings, industry conferences, publications
- Python for analysis and QA; familiarity with the AWS ecosystem, Jira, and Confluence
Note: this list spans skills relevant to several different roles across the Analytics organization - we don't expect any given candidate to have all of them. Bring what you have; we'll talk through the rest during the interview process.
