Role Description

Are you passionate about improving health outcomes, advancing health equity, and creating meaningful community impact? We are seeking a Population Health Integrations Analyst to lead the development and execution of innovative population health strategies that improve access to care, reduce disparities, and enhance health outcomes across diverse populations.

In this role, you will serve as a strategic leader driving the integration of population health principles into care delivery, outreach, education, and care coordination programs.

• Lead the development of educational materials, outreach campaigns, and community engagement initiatives that improve health literacy and promote early intervention.
• Ensure compliance with NCQA Population Health Management (PHM) standards, CMS requirements, state regulations, and contractual obligations.
• Monitor program performance, evaluate outcomes, and present findings, trends, and recommendations to executive leadership and quality committees.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives, including process optimization, staff development, and implementation of innovative technologies that enhance member engagement and care coordination.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Public Health, Healthcare Administration, Nursing, or a related field preferred.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret performance metrics, identify trends, assess risk, determine root causes, and implement sustainable improvements.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across clinical, operational, and compliance teams.
• Demonstrated ability to supervise, mentor, and develop high-performing teams while fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
