Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Highmark Health is a healthcare organization seeking a Lead Data Scientist to build advanced analytical solutions that inform business processes and operations. The role develops predictive models, applies statistical and machine learning techniques, communicates insights to business partners, and leads analytical projects through production implementation.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the business to understand their business processes and aims, then identify how analytical solutions could help deliver value for them. This would include being accountable for: + Outlining complex new use cases + creating high level impact estimates. + Identifying data elements needed and where to get them (including proxies). + Assembling data sets independently using knowledge of Highmark operational and analytic data structures. + Delivering the analytical solution to several complex business problems simultaneously. + Documenting objectives, assumptions and processes and enriching/expanding our standards as needed
- Select and apply the appropriate advanced modeling/machine learning techniques to these data sets to deliver business insight, ensuring that the final analysis is well researched, accurate, and documented. This requires: Proficiency of a substantial number of advanced analytical techniques and mastery of a few, evidenced by in-depth knowledge and delivery record (for example regression models, tree-based learning, neural networks, clustering techniques, natural language processing)
- Consult with the business to contextualize and translate the results of our analysis in a form which the business can understand and act upon. This will include: Written reports, presentation and data visualizations, and draws clear lines between the high-level problem specifications for a broad range of audiences, the analyses performed, and how the results link directly back to business objectives, and lead implementation which drives frontline workflow
- Plan, prepare and deliver/coordinate all elements of several analyses largely independently in such a way that it is delivered on time, to a high standard and ready to implement on a production basis (including dissemination through the Organization's user systems). This includes identifying the best route to implementation (developing the analytical solution accordingly)
