Role
Who you are
- If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.
- An advanced degree in a quantitative field or 4+ years of work experience in an analytics-heavy, business-focused role
- Strong technical background with exceptional ability to do data analysis using SQL and Python, as well as pick up new tools on the fly
- Comfort with zooming in and out of problems, jumping between high-level thinking and granular methods of problem-solving
- Strong written and verbal communication that allows you to be an effective participant in both internal debates and external relationships
- Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
- High NPS with your former teammates
- Able to bring clarity to ambiguous problems and lead projects with major strategic/business impact, collaborating across teams and levels to drive sound decisions
What the job involves
- As a Data Scientist on our team, you will not only define and predict our company’s core metrics, you will drive them. This is a role of immense range, stretching from developing advanced analytical models to owning end-to-end strategic project implementation. Your work will be hyper cross-functional, sometimes driving forward technical projects in partnership with an engineer, other times leading an operations workstream. You will also engage directly with Fortune 100 customers to understand their needs and present on Tandem’s performance and relevant insights.
- This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Tandem's success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.
- If you join, you will:
- Drive strategic projects that require deep data analysis, with accountability for end-to-end execution and business outcomes – this may include:
- Sourcing and using industry and market data to shape Tandem’s go-to-market and growth strategy
- Leveraging our internal workflow data to predict operational throughput and bottlenecks and prioritize new workflow automations as we scale
- Prototyping new modeling approaches to AI problems (e.g., outcome prediction and optimization for insurance-related processes) in collaboration with our Engineering team
- Building out a unified user interaction model to define Tandem’s consumer and provider product roadmaps
- Create and rapidly iterate on externally facing data products for Tandem’s key partners and actively participate in priority client engagements
- Establish Tandem’s core data sources and metrics to empower everyone on the team to answer complex questions about Tandem’s business in real-time
- Work directly with our CEO and leadership team as a critical partner in making business decisions as we balance speed of growth and long-term profitability
Our take
Helping to improve healthcare in the US, Tandem leverages AI to make accessing medication faster, easier, and cheaper for patients. The company handles logistics across doctors, insurers, and pharmacies so that people can get the drugs they need without the normal hassle.
By managing the entire prescription process end-to-end, Tandem is eliminating painful administrative work for both patients and doctors. Their streamlined approach means that people can get life-changing therapeutics much quicker and cheaper than through usual processes. Tandem's business model is based on using the network they are building to support life sciences companies in bringing new drugs to market. The data and user connectivity can support pharmaceutical companies with clinical trials, new drug launches, and patient access programs.
Because of its approach, Tandem is seeing exponential growth through word-of-mouth, building a large network of users and data. It's an exciting two-sided model from the company, and for now, it's focused on scaling to meet market demand.
