Job Summary

This role is responsible for aligning the enterprise talent management strategy with operational data; building visualizations, statistical analyses, and predictive models to track progress and uncover areas for improvement.

From forecasting nurse attrition to optimizing recruitment spend and ensuring pay equity, this role will use data sourced from Oracle HCM and other operational and clinical systems to drive the delivery of a best-in-class healthcare workforce.

Essential Functions

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Human Resources (HR) and other operational leaders, data scientists, and software engineers to identify data-driven opportunities for enhancing human capital and operational processes.
• Utilize cloud-based technologies, such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), for scalable data processing and analysis.
• Serve as the "Data Translator" for HR leadership, converting high-level people strategies (e.g., "reducing turnover by 15%") into specific analytical projects and KPIs.
• Utilize Python programming and associated libraries such as PyTorch, Keras, Pandas and NumPY to create, train, test and implement meaningful data science models.
• Create time-series models to predict future staffing needs based on seasonal patient volume, historical turnover, and local labor market trends
• Develop and deploy machine learning models to identify "flight risk" employees, allowing leadership to intervene before high-value talent exits the organization.
• Lead the analysis of multifactorial relationships, including those between premium pay (travelers/overtime) and employee burnout to provide recommendations on sustainable staffing and retainment models.
• Collaborate with healthcare professionals and domain experts to understand operational needs and design data-driven solutions.
• Design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
