Full-Time Senior Data Scientist

OUR  MISSION

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for cancer patients, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.

At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we're not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it.

To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will join our Data team to help us build and maintain strong analytic capabilities supporting Thyme Care’s mission. You will model data, create visualizations to report to stakeholders, and deliver insights that drive action. 

In this position, you will collaborate with our Product, Engineering, Operations, and Growth teams to identify opportunities for strategic partnerships that enable us to bring our service to more members and clients. You will help us establish deep relationships with risk-bearing entities (such as Health Insurers, Accountable Care Organizations, or Primary Care Practices) by building data products to aid in partner onboarding, opportunity analysis, and network analysis.

• Gain a deep understanding of our data platform and contribute to improving our data models and pipelines.
• Build relationships with risk-bearing entities and demonstrate Thyme Care’s expertise in building data & analytics products.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand and translate their business requirements into technical plans. This involves developing data models, pipelines, and analytics dashboards with Looker or RStudio. For example, you may use dbt to build models that analyze medical claims data to identify the utilization of value care across oncology practices or analyze the dispersion of medical care among our members and its impact on out-of-pocket costs.
• Take ownership and lead the development of data models to measure the effectiveness of our interventions and report outcomes internally and externally.
• Play a key role in building our data infrastructure and creating a roadmap for scalable and modular data architecture to support our team's growth.
• Lead the development of utilization and quality metrics and become the go-to person for resolving stakeholder inquiries. Additionally, you will leverage our data assets for business opportunities and strategic initiatives at Thyme Care.

WHAT YOU’VE DONE

• You are proficient in analytical, data modeling, and data transformation. Familiarity with DBT is preferred, but we are open to candidates willing to learn it quickly. 
• A working knowledge of Python or R and experience with Looker or similar BI tools for data analysis and visualization is a plus.
• You have worked with large healthcare datasets, ideally in a health plan or healthcare-focused technology startup with mature data structures and pipelines as an Analytics Engineer or Data Engineer. 
• Experience with medical claims, pharmacy claims, eligibility files, and other relevant healthcare data is essential for building data marts for reporting and analysis.

WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS
