Data and Business Intelligence Analyst – Healthcare

Overview

REPORTS TO: Senior Director, ChimeData Solutions

Position is hybrid, requiring onsite work in Wallingford, CT.

JOB SUMMARY

The Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) is the leading voice for Connecticut hospitals and healthcare providers, advancing community health through public policy and advocacy, research and education, innovative healthcare services, and collaboration with healthcare and community partners.

ChimeData is CHA’s data and analytics organization, providing healthcare data, analytics, benchmarking, and insights to support hospitals, healthcare organizations, policymakers, and CHA’s internal teams.

CHA seeks a Data and Business Intelligence Analyst to expand the use of data to inform strategy, advocacy, decision-making, and member services. This position combines business intelligence, healthcare analytics, and applied data science, using SQL and/or Python, alongside Tableau or Power BI, to explore data, develop analytical products, and translate complex information into actionable insights.

The analyst will support a broad range of CHA functions, including advocacy and public policy, finance, community health, quality and patient safety, and member services, providing data and analytical support to help teams understand challenges, identify opportunities, and make informed decisions.

The ideal candidate is an intellectually curious, self-directed problem solver with a foundational understanding of healthcare who enjoys solving complex problems or working through ambiguity and thinking outside the box. Working with colleagues at all levels of data expertise, this person will translate business needs into meaningful analytical solutions.

The ability to move fluidly between data, healthcare, and people is just as important as technical skill.

• Perform data validation and quality checks and document data definitions, methodologies, and analytical processes
• Identify opportunities to automate reporting and analytical processes and improve the efficiency and usability of existing tools
• Manage assigned analytical projects from problem definition through analysis, validation, and delivery
• Build strong relationships across CHA and serve as a trusted analytical resource for colleagues and stakeholders
