OAG is seeking an Associate Systems Engineer and Data Analyst to build our internal operational capabilities, with the initial engagement focused on developing tools for our Central Scheduling Team (CST). This is an ideal opportunity for a new or recent graduate to build a broad skill set that involves understanding and identifying business needs, developing and executing a project plan, and managing deployment, in collaboration with our corporate leadership and existing scheduling team.
We are seeking an individual with a background in computer science, data science, or a related field, who is comfortable providing significant input into project architecture, and working as a full-stack developer of internal-facing tools. Because we are a mid-sized company, you would work closely with senior corporate leadership, and have significantly more autonomy and responsibility than you would find at larger companies.
What You’ll Do
- Develop a deep knowledge of our current business processes by building and deploying schedules for physicians using our current processes.
- Identify opportunities to automate manual scheduling, reporting, and administrative processes, across OAG’s hospital and outpatient locations.
- Build tools to automate these processes, including automated reports, dashboards, analytical tools, and automated workflows, as well as the interfaces that employees use to access these tools.
- Lead the roll-out of these tools, including internal training and post-deployment improvements
As we progress towards a more seamless scheduling system, you will move on to new projects within our organization, such as:
- Analyzing physician staffing supply, demand, utilization, coverage gaps, and workforce capacity.
- Supporting workforce forecasting, staffing models, contract reporting, and operational analysis.
- Evaluating and managing our existing third party software solutions, and serve as a liaison between OAG and outside vendors.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science or analytics, or a closely related field, who are comfortable coding full-stack software solutions
- Ability to work independently, identify problems, and develop and implement solutions
- New or recent graduates are acceptable, if they can provide portfolio projects that demonstrate the appropriate skill set
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Experience
While we are open to new or recent graduates, experienced hires who have worked in similar roles are preferred. We seek to develop these tools using common, widely used languages, tools, and frameworks (Python, MariaDB, etc.), but we have historically used many proprietary tools and these will have some role going forward. Given this, experience with QGenda or similar workforce scheduling software is valuable, as are common business tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Power Query, SQL, Power Automate, or other analytics and automation technologies. Healthcare workforce, physician scheduling, or clinical operations experience is a plus.
Who Will Thrive in This Role
The right person will enjoy digging into complex workflows and data, identifying inefficiencies, and developing practical technology-based solutions. They will be comfortable working independently while collaborating across departments and will play an important role in helping OAG build a more centralized, automated, data-driven, and scalable operation.
OAG is an equal opportunity employer supporting an inclusive culture that promotes and values diversity. OAG's mission is to be the independent practice of choice for excellence in anesthesia. We hire to these values: Excellence, Independence, Stewardship, Teamwork, Integrity, and Belonging. These are the values that drive us and make OAG a great place to work.
