Business Analyst, OSI

Business Analyst, OSI at Regenstrief Institute, Inc.

The Business Analyst (BA) within the Office of Strategic Innovation (OSI) is an analytic and client-facing role that supports the successful delivery of industry-facing research and data collaborations. This role works across clinical AI, real-world evidence (RWE), and health services research projects to ensure structured problem-solving, high-quality deliverables, and reliable project execution.

OSI partners with investigators, data teams, and external stakeholders to translate ambiguous questions into clear analytic requirements, validate results, and produce partner-ready outputs. This position is ideal for an early-career professional with consulting, analytics, or research coordination experience who thrives in both structured analysis and client-facing collaboration.

This role is preferred to be onsite at least two to three days per week in Indianapolis. Fully remote work may be considered.

• Facilitate structured problem‑solving sessions with investigators and external partners, transforming questions into clear scopes, requirements, and action plans.
• Break complex problems into manageable steps and identify decision points.
• Develop clean, concise slide decks, memos, analytic briefs, and project summaries for stakeholders.
• Ensure interim deliverables meet partner‑facing quality standards and reflect OSI’s Q‑à‑A Sprint engagement model, with a structured cadence of research team review.

• Support investigators, research scientists, and data teams in clarifying analytic requirements and confirming alignment with project goals.
• Interpret datasets and analytic results to ensure accuracy, completeness, and readiness for external use.
• Package data feasibility outputs into partner‑read summaries (counts, completeness, caveats) before investigators review for sign‑off.
• Synthesize raw analytical results into narratives that highlight insights, implications, and next steps.

• Conduct pre‑delivery quality checks of all external‑facing outputs for clarity, narrative coherence, and alignment with OSI brand standards, ahead of review by researchers.
• Own the end‑to‑end tracking and coordination of all OSI data requests. Maintain a live log that monitors status with appropriate internal checkpoints and escalations.
• Manage day‑to‑day Q‑à‑A sprint management, including huddles, decision logs, and milestone monitoring.

• Maintain the OSI implementation playbook: ensure consistent application across projects.

• Curate examples of past Q‑à‑A sprints to support communication of OSI’s capabilities.
• Apply a client‑service mindset that anticipates questions and ensures OSI presents a cohesive voice.
• Continuously deepen expertise relevant to live and prospective OSI engagements, particularly around clinical applications of AI and real‑world research.

• Requires a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., healthcare, public health, business, analytics, or related discipline).
• Requires at least four (4) years of experience in a role requiring structured problem‑solving and client‑facing communication—such as management consulting, healthcare analytics, product/operations analysis, or digital health delivery. Experience managing others preferred.
• Requires working familiarity with one or more OSI domains: clinical AI, healthcare data, or real‑world‑evidence (RWE), or health services/clinical operations.
• Requires the ability to interpret analytical outputs and assess data completeness, accuracy, and implications. Requires comfort working with data (Excel, reviewing tables/figures); familiarity with SQL or BI preferred.
• Requires excellent communication skills, including ability to translate technical findings into concise, actionable narratives for diverse research and industry audiences.
• Requires the ability to work effectively with a diverse set of stakeholders, including investigators, data scientists, and industry partners.
