What the job involves
- Design and implement solutions to address complex business questions using statistical methods, machine learning, or other analytical methods as needed
- Apply advanced analysis techniques and statistical concepts to draw insights from massive datasets, create intuitive simulations, data visualizations, and business narratives
- Contribute to each layer of a data solution – this role works closely with process and design engineers, business intelligence engineers, data engineers, and technical product managers to obtain relevant datasets and create models, develop and oversee scalable and reusable codebases, and review results with business leaders and stakeholders
- Contribute to and supervise performance tracking; identify improvement opportunities among junior engineers; design and implement robust testing systems to align ML output to business outcomes
- Supervise work and advise junior team members on scientific process and experimentation; contribute to multiple work streams as an expert advisor
- Your work exhibits a balance between scientific validity and business practicality!
Our take
Every year, billions of dollars are wasted in healthcare through overtreatment, failure of care coordination and administrative complexity. Cohere Health blames this on outdated processes, time-consuming manual systems and slow decision-making - which the company aims to combat with its clinical intelligence platform.
The platform automates processes to avoid care delays and friction between parties. It also provides analytics to help identify the most suitable physicians and care paths for the patient much faster and more easily. While there are other automation solutions for healthcare, Cohere stand outs by improving the whole patient journey, rather than just automating an administrative transaction.
Through partnerships with organizations like Humana and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Cohere Health serves millions of members and thousands of physicians. It has grown to be recognized as a top player in the space, as it continues to expand its offering and stands to benefit from the rising interest in clinical intelligence.
