Data Analyst jobs in Chicago

(Hey - my canned response is below, not sure how much experience you have, but it you have significant experience, let me know, and I will send you the link to the other position I have open)

Hello!! Thanks so much for responding to my post. Hope you are doing well. My name is Jeff Holman, Director of Commercial Business Analytics at Centene. You can search for me on LinkedIn and verify that I am indeed, a real person.

Centene is small compared to most health insurance companies, and it is growing rapidly. The "commercial" line of business at Centene is very new (under 2 years), and it is growing even faster. Centene's traditional business comes from governmental contracts, mainly Medicaid. Our newer commercial line of business includes policies newly available on the federal and state-based marketplaces (or exchanges or Obamacare as some say). I came to Centene when this line of business had 0 subscribers. We now have over 100,000 with intent to grow grow grow.

The Commercial Business Analytics (CBA) team is currently a team of 4 including myself. We are looking to add 3 more data analysts. Because the business is so new, your responsibilities may be varied and change from day to day, but I will do my best to help you manage this and keep your sanity. There are a lot of opportunities here to figure out things that nobody at the company has done before, and I like that. What I can promise is that you will play a key role in driving business decisions using data. We do everything from basic reporting (how many members to we have in Georgia?) to predictive modeling (who might have trouble making their premium payment this month and would it be worthwhile for us to reach out to them?).

If you are interested in learning more, please take the following steps:

-Apply to this open position. I do not require a cover letter. It is hard to get an accurate job description in with HR, so it is pretty generic. I promise to give more details when we speak.

-Once you have applied, send me an email at [email protected]. Please include your real name and a reference to your reddit username (I won’t share), so I can track back to your original message. I will contact HR to make sure they pass your resume through the system.

-Someone (potentially me) will be in touch with you to set up an informal phone interview for 30 minutes. If you are willing to do this during the evenings or on weekends, please go ahead and send me times you are available in your email.
