The Role As a Data Scientist on the Link Key Accounts team, you'll build the models and methodologies that turn multi-source healthcare data into reliable intelligence about healthcare organizations, their networks, and the people who make decisions inside them. The work spans both ends of the spectrum: quantitative analysis of claims and financial data, and qualitative inference — building org charts and mapping influence from titles, roles, and other soft signals.

This is an early, high-latitude role with room to shape both the methods and the product.

What You'll DoApply statistical and machine learning techniques to healthcare claims and other structured data to build new metrics and methodologies — for example, calculating readmissions and average length of stay across varied claims sources, producing all-payer estimates, and developing clinical ontologies

Transform public financial data into clear signals and a coherent story about the financial health of healthcare organizations Build entity resolution and record-linkage models across health systems, provider organizations, employers, and payers

Develop affiliation and network mapping — inferring how organizations and people connect, and how influence and reporting structures flow across them Infer organizational structure from qualitative signals, building org charts and decision-maker maps from titles, positions, and role characteristics

Design data-sourcing methodologies that evaluate, score, and combine heterogeneous inputs (public filings, web sources, licensed data) into accurate, defensible account signals

Build the models that power account targeting and segmentation — deciling, patient-volume and disease-state signals, strategic filters

Partner with Product, Data Engineering, Engineering, and QA to take solutions from prototype to production, then iterate and enhance

Requirements5+ years of hands-on data science and statistics experience5+ years working with healthcare data and the US healthcare system

Experience with healthcare claims data (medical and/or pharmacy) and the metrics derived from it

Experience with healthcare organizational data (HCO/HCP, IDN, GPO, payer)
Experience developing clinical ontologies or standardized healthcare data models

Experience with entity resolution, record linkage, or fuzzy matching on real-world, imperfect data Track record of inferring structure from noisy, incomplete data -  cleansing, experiment design, solution assessment, and scaling

Comfortable with ambiguity and turning goals into tangible work plans

Able to explain statistical and technical concepts to audiences of varying technical depth

Nice to HaveM.S. in Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or another quantitative discipline
