Data Analyst - Senior/Lead

Description

 At CSpring, we believe that thoughtful data leadership powers better health outcomes. We’re seeking a mission-driven Senior Data Analyst / Lead Developer who thrives at the intersection of healthcare, SQL development, and business consulting. If you’re passionate about transforming Medicaid data into action, simplifying complexity, and supporting federal compliance, you belong here.

You’ll play a pivotal role in supporting the Illinois Medicaid program—designing SQL-based data solutions, guiding business requirements, and leading development efforts that directly impact care delivery and public program success. Your work will inform CMS reporting, claims analytics, and cross-agency decision-making.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Healthcare with Purpose – Improve systems that serve some of Illinois' most vulnerable populations by enhancing Medicaid and CHIP data accuracy and usability.
• People-First Culture – We’re as committed to your growth as we are to delivering high-impact solutions. You’ll find support, autonomy, and community here.
• Strategic, Hands-On Work – From data profiling and documentation to stakeholder presentations and SQL development, you’ll influence every step of the solution.
• Collaborative Trust – Our clients rely on us to listen carefully, deliver consistently, and guide wisely. We partner with integrity, curiosity, and heart.

What You’ll Do

• Develop complex SQL queries to support Medicaid data warehousing, reporting, and analytics.
• Analyze current-state business processes and systems; document requirements for new solutions.
• Lead and contribute to documentation, testing, and validation of Medicaid-related data systems.
• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to align on use cases, data rules, and quality standards.
• Provide guidance to analysts on profiling tasks; review results and interpret for compliance with CMS and state guidelines.
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) by developing test scenarios, tracking defects, and confirming resolution.
• Collaborate across teams to identify, document, and resolve data anomalies.
• Create clear, professional presentations and contribute to updating operational guides and project documentation.
• Stay accessible to the team and help manage competing priorities with flexibility and professionalism.
