Senior Population Health Management Analyst

Summary

As a Senior Population Health Management Analyst at Gainwell, you can contribute your skills as we harness the power of technology to help our clients improve the health and well-being of the members they serve — a community’s most vulnerable. Connect your passion with purpose, teaming with people who thrive on finding innovative solutions to some of healthcare’s biggest challenges. Here are the details on this position.

Leads complex business and data analysis for a technical population health management service and ensures that client intent is translated into implementable, testable, and operationally sustainable solutions. The senior analyst coordinates analysis across stakeholders and workstreams, shapes scope and milestones, governs requirements and traceability, and drives schedule-based execution through disciplined Jira management, risk identification, validation, and executive-ready communication.

Your role in our mission

• Lead discovery and analysis for complex or cross-functional population health capabilities, defining the problem, scope, stakeholders, outcomes, assumptions, dependencies, milestones, and analysis approach.
• Plan, design, and recommend business processes and service improvements; synthesize clinical, operational, technical, contractual, and data perspectives into clear options and recommendations.
• Facilitate complex client and internal workshops, resolve requirement conflicts, drive decisions, and communicate tradeoffs among value, feasibility, quality, risk, schedule, and operational impact.
• Translate broader program objectives into achievable analysis scope, work packages, milestones, estimates, owners, and completion criteria; coordinate priorities and dependencies across contributors who may not report directly to the role.
• Lead analysis of cohort identification, eligibility and attribution, risk stratification, care and quality gaps, outreach workflows, intervention tracking, outcomes, utilization, cost, and equity-oriented segmentation as applicable to the service.
• Ensure population and measure logic is unambiguous and reproducible, including denominators, numerators, exclusions, attribution, code sets, time windows, data sources, refresh cycles, versioning, and reconciliation controls.
• Evaluate multi-source healthcare data and analytics for lineage, semantic consistency, completeness, timeliness, bias or representativeness concerns, privacy, and fitness for intended clinical and operational use; make limitations visible in requirements and decisions.
• Create client and leadership communications that clearly explain decisions, progress, risks, dependencies, expected impacts, and recommended actions.

How you'll make an impact

What we're looking for

• Six or more years of business analysis, healthcare analytics, health information technology, product or solution delivery, or related experience; equivalent education and experience considered.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex requirements and process-analysis efforts across business, clinical, data, and technical stakeholders.
• Strong command of project delivery fundamentals, including scope, work planning, milestones, dependencies, estimation, status, risk and issue management, change control, quality, and stakeholder communication.
• Advanced practical experience with Jira or a comparable work-management platform, Excel, process modeling, and requirements traceability; proficiency using SQL or equivalent methods to interrogate and validate data is strongly valued.
• Ability to influence without direct authority, resolve ambiguity, mentor colleagues, and present complex recommendations clearly to clients and leadership.

Preferred qualifications and domain experience

• Bachelor’s degree in business, health administration, public health, information systems, analytics, or a related field; relevant advanced degree or certification is valued.
• Experience with Medicaid, Medicare, health plans, accountable care, public-sector healthcare, provider organizations, or enterprise population health platforms.
• Deep familiarity with quality measurement, value-based care, care management, health equity, social drivers of health, risk adjustment or stratification, healthcare data models, interoperability, and privacy-sensitive analytics.
• Experience coordinating multi-workstream technology delivery, leading user acceptance testing, supporting implementation readiness, and developing executive or client-facing recommendations.
• Business analysis, agile, healthcare quality, analytics, or project management certification is valued.

Level-specific accountability

• Independently owns complex, ambiguous, or cross-workstream analysis and the associated delivery plan.
• Sets analysis standards, challenges incomplete assumptions, and ensures decisions are traceable, testable, and operationally viable.
• Provides forward-looking schedule, dependency, and risk insight rather than reporting status only after impact occurs.
• Coordinates and mentors other analysts, reviews deliverable quality, and acts as a trusted bridge among client, clinical, product, project, and technical leadership.
• Recommends changes to scope, sequencing, process, or solution direction when evidence indicates a better path to client and population outcomes.
