Your Quest: Help make a big difference in healthcare access
At Quest Analytics our team members can fulfill their quest to work in an innovative, collaborative, challenging and flexible environment supportive of personal growth every day. The team is driven to make healthcare more accessible for all Americans.
We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst specializing in health plan network analytics to join our team. As a Senior Data Analyst, you will play a key role in advancing the intelligence and precision of health plan network analytics. This position focuses on working directly with large-scale healthcare datasets—including claims data, provider directory files, and provider network files—to uncover trends, measure network performance, and support the development of data-driven strategies for provider network optimization and improve network performance.
You will be responsible for identifying and quantifying network challenges, conducting deep analytical investigations, and applying structured data exploration to generate meaningful, context-rich insights. This role requires a strong command of data tools, rigorous attention to data quality, and a passion for using data and analytics to solve complex problems in healthcare delivery.
Ideal candidates are curious, methodical, and driven by a desire to understand the “why” behind the data. Success in this role depends on your ability to work independently with complex data inputs, apply critical thinking, and continually refine methods for extracting value from provider network-related datasets.
