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 Do

• Apply 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

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on data science and statistics experience
• 5+ 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 Have

• M.S. in Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or another quantitative discipline

Perks & Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
• Retirement programs
• 1% charitable giving program
