Garner's mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high quality and affordable care for all. By helping employers restructure their healthcare benefit to provide clear incentives and data-driven insights, we direct employees to higher quality and lower cost healthcare providers.

This role combines deep technical expertise with business impact, making it ideal for someone who enjoys translating complex analytics into clear client value.

Responsibilities will include:

Developing algorithms that predict medical cost and rising population health risk.
Conducting proof-of-concept research and discovery on healthcare economics and physician quality of care, focusing on client-driven goals.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Data Engineers and Clinical Researchers, to continuously enhance our data systems.

Ideal candidate has:

2-4 years of professional experience in a fast-paced work environment.
A demonstrated ability to independently tackle challenging problems and deliver high-quality, client-centered results.
Strong SQL and Python skills.
A proactive approach to understanding client needs and translating complex systems into clear insights and frameworks for stakeholders.
A desire to work in a rapidly evolving startup environment and to contribute to our mission of transforming the healthcare system for the better.

Mission First: Our mission is to transform our healthcare system, delivering high quality and affordable care to all. Everything else is secondary.
Expect Extraordinary: Our mission is audacious, so we will only succeed by producing exceptional results. We continually push ourselves and each other to new heights and beyond our comfort zones.
Courageous Communication: Transparency and candor are imperative to realizing our potential as an organization and as individuals—even when uncomfortable. Many companies talk about these values. We live them.
Supportive community: We know that people do their best work and learn the most when they feel genuinely supported and cared for. It’s also more fun that way.

The target salary range for this position is: $145,000 - $170,000. Individual compensation for this role will depend on a variety of factors including qualifications, skills and applicable laws.
