Salary range: $120,000 - $140,000 per year

About Vanna Health

Vanna is reimagining healthcare for people living with serious mental illness (SMI).

Today, our healthcare system is failing people with SMI. Despite $200B in annual medical spending, people with SMI die 20 years younger than their peers while suffering from higher rates of preventable disease (2x). They also face a higher risk of disfranchisement from society, including homelessness (6x), unemployment (30x), and incarceration (25x).

Our mission is to empower people with SMI to thrive by finding purpose and a sense of belonging in the community. The solution is social, not just medical. Vanna provides psychosocial rehabilitation and enables community-based care at scale, in close collaboration with existing healthcare and community organizations. Our model is designed to restore hope and nurture engagement by investing in a foundation of mutual trust and respect.

Vanna brings together an unprecedented team of proven entrepreneurs, individuals with lived experience, and national leaders in behavioral health. We are committed to providing individuals with culturally inclusive support for all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and other social factors. With modern technology, extensive professional development opportunities, and a culture that actively promotes and fosters diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we are redefining what it means to work in community health.

About the Role

Vanna Health is seeking a Data Analyst – Service & Operations Analytics to help clinical, operational, and business leaders understand how Vanna’s services are performing and where opportunities exist to improve.

This role sits within Service Analytics organization and focuses primarily on Vanna’s internal service and operational data, including data generated through Vanna’s proprietary platform, Vanna Connect.

• Where are members dropping out of the service journey?
• Which sites or populations have lower engagement?
• How does caseload relate to service delivery?
• Where are workflow delays occurring?
• Which operational practices appear associated with better performance?

The analyst should be able to move from an identified operational problem through analysis, interpretation, and recommended follow-up without requiring a fully prescribed analytical approach.

• Validate data before using it for reporting or decision-making.
