OUR  MISSION

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, 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 closely with our Clinical and Operations teams to identify opportunities to improve outcomes, operationalize those opportunities via dbt models that propel care team action, and measure the activity and utilization based outcomes. You will also:

• Gain a deep understanding of our data platform and contribute to improving our data models and pipelines.
• Collaborate with other data scientists, data engineers, and analysts to build scalable and sustainable data models and pipelines
• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand and translate their questions and business requirements into technical plans to build analytic products
• Work side-by-side with Clinical and Operations counterparts to measure the impact of our interventions and roll up your sleeves to dig in and do root cause analysis
• Develop data models and pipelines with dbt
• Build Looker dashboards and self-service tools to help stakeholders track key performance indicators (e.g., survey completion rates, ePROs results, impact on utilization) within cohorts of our treatment population
• Take ownership and lead the development of data models to measure the effectiveness of our interventions and build analytics and reporting to demonstrate this internally and externally
• Ensure that internal customers have fast, accurate, and reliable access to data, supporting their decision-making with high-quality analytics and reporting.

WHAT YOU HAVE

• Expertise in working with large healthcare or operational datasets (medical / pharmacy claims, eligibility, etc.), ideally in a healthcare-focused technology startup with mature data structures and pipelines
• Experience designing data models to support analytics and building the data transformations in SQL to bring them to life
• An ability to “see beyond the question” to develop scalable analytics solutions that are easily learned and reused by internal customers
• Experience with, or willingness to quickly learn, dbt
• Experience with, or willingness to quickly learn, Looker or other BI tools
• Experience with electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePROs) data is a large plus

WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

• Act with our members in mind. Thyme Care’s mission, and in particular our member experience, matters deeply to you. 
• Move with purpose. You’re biased to action. You know how to identify and prioritize your initiative’s needs, and do what it takes to ensure that urgent and important needs are acted on immediately. 
• Seek diverse perspectives. You are humble and actively seek feedback from others, eager to learn and share knowledge.
• Experience. You have worked with large datasets, ideally in a healthcare-focused technology startup with mature data structures and pipelines as an Analytics Engineer, Data Scientist, or Data Engineer. 
• Technical ability.  Proficiency in data modeling, transformation, and claims analytics is crucial. Familiarity with dbt is preferred, but we are open to candidates willing to learn it quickly. A working knowledge of Python and experience with Looker or similar BI tools for data analysis and visualization is a plus.
• Clear communication.  You can effectively convey your thoughts and ideas to both technical and non-technical colleagues and stakeholders.
• Comfort with ambiguity. You have a successful track record working at scaling organizations, in fast-paced environments, and at ambitious startups. You navigate through challenges and find solutions in uncertain situations.
