Healthcare Data Strategy & Insights Analyst (DoD Secret | Remote)

Location: Remote (U.S.-Based)
Clearance: Active DoD Secret Clearance (or higher)

Make an Impact on Military Healthcare and Readiness

This role supports a federal healthcare environment focused on improving how data is integrated, understood, and used to support operational and leadership decision-making. You’ll work closely with program stakeholders, domain experts, and technical teams to clarify data needs, validate integrated datasets, and turn information into insights leaders can trust.

This is a business-facing analytics role. The work goes beyond reporting; you’ll help define requirements, sense-check data from a real-world perspective, and build dashboards that support decisions in a complex, regulated healthcare setting.

If you enjoy translating business questions into data, partnering closely with stakeholders, and delivering analytics that actually get used, this role is designed for you.

What You’ll Do

Stakeholder Engagement & Requirements

• Partner with program managers, domain experts, and end users to gather and clarify business and functional data requirements.
• Document requirements, data definitions, and business rules so technical teams understand what is needed and why.
• Translate stakeholder needs into clear deliverables such as requirements documentation, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Revisit and refine requirements as priorities or feedback evolve.

Process Analysis & Operational Improvement

• Review existing data workflows and business processes to identify inefficiencies, delays, or manual workarounds.
• Help shape improvements that streamline operations and improve data availability and usability.
• Ensure analytics and reporting align with how the organization actually operates.

Analytics, Reporting & Visualization

• Analyze integrated datasets to produce insights that support operational and leadership decisions.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports using Tableau or Qlik, with a focus on clarity and usability.
• Write and validate SQL queries to support analysis, reporting logic, and data verification.
• Ensure metrics are well-defined, accurate, and consistent across reports.

Data Validation & Quality (Business Perspective)

• Work with technical and QA teams to confirm data outputs meet business expectations.
• Perform high-level validation to ensure results make sense in context, not just technically.
• Help identify gaps, inconsistencies, or definition issues before data is delivered to stakeholders.

Documentation & Communication

• Create and maintain documentation including requirements specifications, data dictionaries, and report user guides.
• Communicate findings clearly to non-technical audiences, translating data into practical insight.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Experience in data analysis, business analysis, or analytics roles within complex or regulated environments.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and requirements gathering skills.
• Solid SQL experience for querying, validating, and analyzing data.
• Hands-on experience with Tableau or Qlik (or comparable BI tools).
• Ability to explain data findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred

• Experience working with healthcare or federal data environments.
• Familiarity with healthcare data standards or models (e.g., HL7/FHIR, OMOP), even at a conceptual level.
