Job Description:
Company Description -We are building the world's largest in-home
care system. - -Healthcare is rapidly moving into the home,
creating an enormous market opportunity that's growing daily as
consumers increasingly demand more convenient healthcare options.
-Technology is the engine that powers our foundation. It ensures we
can reach massive scale and drives differentiation from any other
healthcare company entering this space. We're using data to ensure
patient safety and tailor the care to patients' specific needs
which allows for better care delivery from patient onboarding,
patient care, and post care follow-up. - -DispatchHealth is a
Series D startup with more than $400m in funding and a $1B+
valuation. We're backed by Oak, Tiger Global, Alta Partners, Optum
Ventures, Questa Capital, ad EchoHealth Ventures. -How You'll Make
an ImpactAs a data scientist on the Operations team, you will own
the development of creative and novel solutions to address a
variety of critical business problems. The primary responsibility
of this role will be helping us to iterate on and build new
forecasting models, enhancing our capabilities to predict future
demand across 40+ markets over different time intervals. You will
have to think about questions such as: How do we handle series that
have different amounts of data? How can we share information
between more mature markets and newer/less-developed markets? How
should we think about seasonality given the impact of COVID-19? You
will also have the opportunity to work on other Operations
problems, e.g. how can we optimally construct the daily shift
schedules in a market to maximize certain KPIs? You will work
closely with the other analysts and data scientists on the
Operations team, as well as have ample opportunities to collaborate
with data scientists and engineers in other parts of the
organization.We are seeking someone with significant experience in
Python; while you will generally have the freedom to choose your
modeling tools, it will be necessary to integrate with our current
codebase which is Python-based. Additionally, we are looking for
someone with deep familiarity with SQL, as you will often have to
pull and wrangle raw data as the first step in your
analyses.Further, we are looking for someone who is a strong
communicator. Data and analytical insights are only valuable when
they can be effectively communicated and become the focal point for
action across the entire company. It will be important that you not
just collate the right data, but also rally cross-functional teams
to implement changes to the business.In addition to communication,
it is important that all work and efforts are documented in a
concise and consistent manner. As our organization grows, it is
important to effectively document our procedures and processes for
dissemination across the entire organization.Finally, this is a
role for someone who wants to help grow a company that makes an
immensely positive impact. DispatchHealth is one of the few
organizations in healthcare that achieves the tripartite aim of
improving patient outcomes, improving experiences, and lowering
costs. You will be part of a small team that brings that product to
the world at large.What you'll do:
