Empassion is one of the most impactful and exciting start ups in health care. We are focused on improving the experience and lowering costs for seniors at end of life. Specifically, we provide palliative and hospice care for seniors with serious illness and high risk of an over-medicalized death. This population is highly neglected in the current market.
 
Empassion clients are payers and risk-bearing entities and we work with community palliative and hospice partners to deliver superior outcomes. We are live today across 44 states and growing rapidly.

What your experience will be:
The Data & Analytics team is a rapidly growing, high-impact, high-visibility team that works cross-functionally with the entire organization. We are creating a robust, flexible, and modern analytics platform that is core to delivering the company’s technology and service capabilities. The Senior Data Analyst will report directly to the VP of Data & Analytics, a healthcare data practitioner with a decade of experience in early-stage healthcare startups. You will work alongside other Analytics Engineers, Data Analysts, and Medical Economists building out and maintaining robust data pipelines and analytics solutions to better understand our patient population using a combination of SQL, dbt, and Looker. You will partner closely with our Clinical, Finance, and Operations teams to deliver explanatory and actionable insights as we work to improve the care our patients receive.

How work affects my life:
Competitive compensation with a simple and clear compensation philosophy
Coworkers who are best-in-class clinicians, operators, and technologists
Opportunities to grow your skill set and a preference for internal promotions
A role where you can finish challenging days knowing you’re making a difference working on a truly important problem

At Empassion, you will learn to focus on a later stage of life.  You will build an understanding and worth for what the end-of-life experience means. While challenging, it's humbling and centering. Your time will be dedicated to helping people have more good days. This transcends to a more profound value of your present life and how you choose to spend your days

We are dedicated to cultivating relationships built for trust and meaningful experiences that promote your growth. We recognize the value of autonomy, flexibility, and ownership while not losing sight of the importance of real-life experiences. We do not accept anything less than respectful, supportive, and growth-oriented teammates.

Compensation range reflects total compensation.

Empassions' philosophy is to provide competitive compensation that aligns with our mission, business, and employee needs while remaining financially responsible and applying it fairly, equitably, consistently, and transparently. We are a tech-enabled remote healthcare company. We value the impact and significance of all team functions and roles equally, regardless of where you live. 
We plan to update our approach, data, and practices to ensure that we align with the market at year-end 2023. 

This strategy ensures that our employees are paid fairly in the market for their skills, experience, and performance. We use current data to draft compensation numbers and will update the data yearly. Performance is a highly valued and meaningful driver of employee compensation within Empassion's market position. Our performance-enhanced compensation philosophy rewards employees who consistently meet and exceed performance expectations through bonus incentives at all levels.

We pay through consistent and compliant practices.
We have team-oriented goals and recognize performance against those goals through compensation.
Everyone is an owner and is expected to add value and contribute; when Empassion wins, we all win.
We are designed to be fair and equitable and conduct a pay equity audit annually to ensure fair and equitable compensation level by level, job family by job family.
