Job Summary
Our client is seeking a Business Intelligence Analyst to serve as a pivotal link between operational departments and analytical insights. This role involves triaging analytics requests, translating complex business needs into clear specifications, building and maintaining Power BI dashboards using Epic EMR data, and validating data accuracy with business stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary "front door" for operational analytics requests across clinical, quality, and administrative departments.
- Lead weekly backlog prioritization sessions with department leaders to evaluate operational urgency, align deliverables with strategic goals, and manage stakeholder expectations.
- Partner directly with non-technical business partners, clinicians, and operational managers to translate ambiguous business questions into clear, actionable functional specifications, KPI definitions, and reporting requirements.
- Build, modify, and maintain intuitive, user-friendly Power BI dashboards, operational scorecards, and executive monitors using Epic EMR data and medical claims.
- Focus on clear visual storytelling, usability, and executive summaries rather than complex backend pipeline architecture.
- Conduct functional validation and basic SQL verification against Epic data to ensure metrics match clinical and operational realities.
- Facilitate UAT sessions with business owners, collect feedback, and secure formal sign-off.
- Fulfill recurring and ad-hoc operational reporting requests within established service level agreements (SLAs), actively shielding specialized Cogito and data engineering personnel from day-to-day operational interruptions.

Experience
- 3–6+ years of analytical experience in a hospital, health system, provider group, or managed care setting (e.g., population health, quality care performance, executive operational monitoring, or ambulatory clinical operations).
Skills
- Strong hands-on proficiency in Power BI, Excel, or equivalent business intelligence platforms to build dashboards, track operational performance, and visualize trends.
- Deep working familiarity with Epic EMR workflows and clinical/operational data structures (e.g., encounters, orders, appointments, patient registries, or quality measures).
- Practical working knowledge of SQL to inspect tables, write basic queries, and validate data logic (heavy data engineering, complex stored procedures, and ETL design are handled by backend teams).
Education
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH), Health Informatics, Healthcare Administration, Health Services Research, or a related discipline.
