With operations spanning the U.S., Europe, APAC, Africa, and growth markets including South Africa, Chile, and Mexico, we are a private equity-backed company operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.



Signant Health's Data, Analytics, Reporting and Tools team supports decision-making across Global Operations. We transform data into actionable insights that help our delivery teams execute on time, on budget, and with outstanding customer satisfaction.

Lead analytics projects: Manage multiple initiatives concurrently--scoping, prioritizing, and delivering measurable outcomes on time and within expectations. Build dynamic reporting: Design online reports and dashboards using Structured Query Language (SQL), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Microsoft Power BI, and Qlik Sense to monitor and forecast operational performance. Generate insights: Analyze large, complex datasets and translate findings into clear narratives and recommendations for executive and operational audiences. Partner across teams: Collaborate with analysts, project managers, developers, testers, and subject matter experts; provide coaching and feedback to strengthen team capability. Collaborate on data architecture: Work with technical teams on database and data-model design that optimizes reporting and analytics. Document rigorously: Produce and maintain documentation for algorithms, parameters, models, and data definitions. Enable decisions: Deliver timely insights that identify revenue opportunities, cost efficiencies, and strategic improvements across Global Operations.

Experience:



At least seven years in data analytics and advanced data visualization. At least six years of hands-on experience with advanced Structured Query Language (SQL) and one or more business intelligence tools (Microsoft Power BI, Qlik Sense). Tools: Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Project, PowerPoint, Visio, Word, Excel). Processes and platforms: Strong understanding of the software development life cycle and operational workflows; familiarity with Jira, ServiceNow, and/or Salesforce/FinancialForce. Core skills: Exceptional analytical problem solving, stakeholder communication (including executive-level storytelling), and project management across competing priorities. Ways of working: Calm under pressure, comfortable with changing timelines, able to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously. Leadership: Experience mentoring junior analysts; able to influence without direct line management.

Nice to have:
