Data Analyst

Healthcare is complex. We’re here to change that. RVO Health is a health technology company on a mission to make health easier to navigate, more accessible, and more affordable for everyone. Here, you'll help over 40 million people every month, with a team that genuinely cares about the work and each other. AT A GLANCE As a Data Analyst for Optum Perks, you won’t be a ticket-taker waiting for sanitized specs or maintaining legacy dashboards. You will be an embedded analytical partner driving end-to-end strategic problem-solving within a high-growth, fast-evolving business unit. You’ll be surrounded by a high-performing team of data practitioners and cross-functional leaders, providing an environment rich with mentorship, technical challenge, and clear runway for long-term professional growth. We believe the best analysts are entrepreneurial: you are given the strategic opportunity (the "what") and empowered with the autonomy to design, build, and execute the solution (the "how"). This role spans the entire analytical lifecycle. On one end, you will establish and maintain durable single-source-of-truth reporting suites, automate routine workflows, and engineer resilient data models (dbt/semantic layers). On the other, you’ll tackle high-leverage strategic problems—designing and implementing decision engines, evaluating on-site testing and experiments, unpacking complex customer unit economics (like LTV, retention, and churn), and optimizing commercial growth strategies. Sitting directly between technical engineering and executive business leadership, you will instrument tracking upstream, leverage AI tooling to accelerate delivery, and turn complex behavioral data into actionable operational and product strategy.
