CentralReach's Data Products team is seeking a Lead Data Analyst to be the analytical backbone of our group, reporting directly to the VP of Data Products. You will know our data model better than anyone, build the reusable analytical structures the rest of the company depends on, and personally take on the highest-stakes questions: the ones where the answer drives a real decision.
The Data Products team is a startup operating inside CentralReach. We are establishing our own playbook and processes as we build. We are looking for someone with low patience for heavy process and high ownership mentality. You move fast, you say what you actually believe about what the data says, and you don't need someone telling you what the next question is. We believe AI tools are changing what great analytical work looks like, and we want someone who believes that too. Not as a productivity bonus, but as a fundamentally different way to move from question to defensible answer.
Key Accountabilities:
- Become the internal expert on the CentralReach data model. Know how the tables relate, where they break, and what they can and cannot answer
- Design and build reusable analytical structures (entities, cohorts, episodes, analysis-ready datasets) that downstream work depends on
- Set the conventions for naming, versioning, lineage, and documentation so analytical work is reusable, auditable, and trusted across the company
- Partner with data product managers and with BI engineers on the handoff to product-facing measures
- Turn ambiguous business questions into testable analyses with clear assumptions, defensible methodology, and reproducible results
- Present findings so the so-what is clear and the methodology is auditable. Connect your work to outcomes, including the decisions you informed and the dollars, customers, or clinical results they moved
- Work with data product managers to identify gaps in the underlying data model and partner to fix them at the source
- Set the standard for how analytical work is done on the team: documented assumptions, reproducible code, version control, peer review
- Use AI tooling (LLMs, code copilots, semantic search) as a core part of your workflow. This is how the team works, not a nice-to-have.
xperience
- 8+ years of hands-on healthcare data analytics experience in claims, clinical, or behavioral health data
- Expert SQL. Can write and tune complex queries at scale, design schemas for analytical use, and review someone else's code and know whether to trust it
- Demonstrated experience building analytical structures other people consume (marts, semantic layers, reusable cohort or measure definitions)
- Track record of analyses that drove real decisions. You can name the decision and the dollar, customer, or clinical impact
- Working fluency with at least one BI tool (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Sisense, Metabase, or similar) and one analytical language beyond SQL (Python preferred)
- Strong writer and communicator. Can explain complex methodology to a non-technical executive without losing precision
- Comfort operating with significant autonomy on open-ended questions
- Active interest in using AI tooling as a core part of how you work
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in ABA, autism services, or behavioral health analytics.
- Experience with value-based care, alternative payment models, or population health analytics
- Experience contributing to externally facing data products (benchmarking, payer intelligence, real-world evidence)
- Experience with modern data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery) and semantic-layer tools (dbt, LookML)
CentralReach was developed for Clinicians by Clinicians. The story of CentralReach begins in 2012 when the company's founder, a practicing Board Certified Behavioral Analyst, decided there had to be a better way to manage her operations so she could spend more time on what mattered most — working with her clients and patients. To help ABA practices focus on what they do best, CentralReach launched the first iteration of its EMR and practice management platform.
Today, under the leadership of Chris Sullens, an award-winning CEO in the technology space, CentralReach is committed to their mission of providing cutting-edge technology and services to help clinicians and educators produce superior client and patient outcomes. Already a market leader, CentralReach is expected to grow exponentially through its four core tenets: hire and develop great people; build industry-leading products; provide exceptional service to customers and continuously invest in systems, processes and infrastructure.
