Medisolv helps make it manageable - and actionable.We partner with hospitals, health systems, ACOs, and payers to bring clarity to quality data, connecting clinical and claims information into a single, reliable view. More than 1,800 organizations and 130M+ patient records rely on Medisolv to measure, report, and improve performance across 500+ measures tied to CMS, The Joint Commission, and other programs.With support from Bessemer Venture Partners Forge, we're continuing to grow our platform and expand our impact - investing in advanced analytics, AI, and new capabilities that help healthcare organizations stay ahead of change and improve outcomes with confidence.Reporting to the GM, Performance Intelligence, we are looking for an experienced Medicare Advantage Stars Data Analyst to join our team.About the RoleWe are seeking a Medicare Advantage (MA) Stars Data Analyst with strong experience working with healthcare data and a deep understanding of the data underlying the CMS Medicare Advantage Star Ratings program.This individual will be responsible for ingesting, organizing, analyzing, validating, and reporting Medicare Advantage Stars data, and will work closely with product, technology, analytics, and health plan teams to turn complex Stars data into actionable insights.The ideal candidate combines strong data analytics and data engineering knowledge with practical Medicare Advantage Stars expertise - a data analyst first and a Stars expert second, equally comfortable writing SQL, troubleshooting a data feed, building a Power BI dashboard, and explaining a Stars calculation to a health plan's quality team. This is not simply a reporting role: the successful candidate understands how MA quality data flows from source systems through ingestion, transformation, and data marts into analytical models, dashboards, and ultimately Stars performance insights - and can translate a CMS Stars specification into a working data model, validate the results, and build something a health plan can act on.The position will play a key role in building and maintaining data products that enable Medicare Advantage health plans to understand their Stars performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and make better quality and operational decisions.What You'll DoMedicare Advantage Stars Data ExpertiseServe as the subject matter expert on CMS Stars measures, specifications, and methodology - including denominators, numerators, exclusions, benchmarks, and cut pointsUnderstand how data from claims, HEDIS, CAHPS, HOS, supplemental feeds, and other sources is transformed into measure-level Stars performanceTrack CMS methodology changes and help ensure analytical products stay aligned with themData Ingestion & Data ManagementDefine data ingestion requirements with technical teams and map source data into standardized structures, specs, and data dictionariesIdentify and resolve data quality issues during ingestion, validating completeness, accuracy, and consistencyUnderstand and help monitor how data moves through ETL/ELT into warehouses, marts, and reporting layersData Marts & Analytical ModelsDesign Stars data marts and analytical models, translating measure requirements into fact tables, dimensions, and calculated fieldsWork from database schemas to model relationships between members, providers, claims, and quality eventsValidate that data marts and models produce results consistent with CMS requirements and source dataData Analysis & ReportingAnalyze Stars performance by plan, contract, measure, and provider - identifying trends, gaps, and anomaliesPerform year-over-year analysis of measure performance and Star Rating implicationsBuild reporting specifications and dashboards that turn complex data into actionable insight for plan leadersBusiness Intelligence & VisualizationBuild and maintain dashboards using Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms, ensuring they accurately reflect CMS methodologyDevelop reusable measures, calculations, and visualizations rather than one-off analysesHelp define reporting standards and best practices for Stars analyticsHealth Plan CollaborationWork directly with MA health plans to understand their data, reporting needs, and Stars analytics questionsReconcile differences between internal plan reporting and external analytics, investigating discrepanciesPresent analytical findings directly to plan quality, analytics, and business teamsData Quality & ValidationDevelop and execute data validation, reconciliation, and automated quality-check processesCompare source, transformed, and reported data to investigate discrepancies or unexpected changesPartner with engineering to resolve defects and validate new feeds or methodology changesProduct Development & Cross-Functional CollaborationPartner with product, engineering, data science, and Stars SMEs to translate requirements into data specs, user stories, and test casesParticipate in product development from requirements through testing and deploymentHelp automate manual processes and contribute to new Stars data productsWhat You'll Accomplish - Your Performance ObjectivesIn your first 30 days, you will:Onboard and get to know the people, product, and data platform.
