• Experience with data visualization tools (Power BI or Tableau)

• Working knowledge of healthcare coding systems (ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS, DRG)

• Up to 20% travel

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in RWE, HEOR, or healthcare analytics within MedTech, Pharma, or consulting

• Experience supporting economic modeling or value-based care analyses

• Familiarity with clinical research or Medical Affairs environments
