Data Analyst

Location: Houston TX or Burnaby BC - hybrid (4 days in 1 day from home)

The Data Analyst turns Aarista's clinical, billing and operational data into reporting and insight the business can act on. You will build dashboards, answer ad hoc questions, and keep the data behind them accurate and secure. Because our data includes protected health information (PHI), every part of the role runs inside our HIPAA and SOC 2 controls.

Key responsibilities

Reporting and dashboards

• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports for leadership, operations, clinical and revenue cycle teams.

• Define metrics and KPIs with stakeholders and document how each one is calculated.

• Analyze billing, coding and claims data to spot revenue leakage, denial trends and compliance risk.

• Analyze product usage and operational data to inform roadmap and process decisions.

• Present results in plain language, with charts and recommendations, to technical and non-technical audiences.

Data quality and governance

• Write and maintain SQL queries, views and data models that feed reporting.

• Validate data accuracy, investigate discrepancies and work with Engineering to fix root causes.

• Maintain a data dictionary and document data sources, lineage and report logic in SharePoint.

Security and compliance

• Handle PHI under the HIPAA minimum-necessary standard; use de-identified or limited datasets wherever possible.

• Follow Aarista's SOC 2 access-control and change-management procedures for data and reports.

• Support audits and compliance reporting with accurate, reproducible data pulls.

Stakeholder support

• Take requests through a defined intake process and set clear priorities and timelines.

• Train users on self-service reports and dashboards.

Required qualifications

• 1+ years of experience in a data analyst or business intelligence role.

• Strong SQL skills, including joins, window functions and query performance tuning.

• Hands-on experience with a BI tool such as Power BI, Tableau or Looker.

• Proficiency in Excel, including pivot tables, lookups and modeling.

• Experience working with sensitive or regulated data and following access-control procedures.

• Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining findings to non-technical audiences.

• Bachelor's degree in data analytics, statistics, computer science, health informatics or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with healthcare data: EHR/EMR records, claims, CPT/ICD-10 coding or revenue cycle data.

• Familiarity with skilled nursing or post-acute care settings.

• Working knowledge of HIPAA, including de-identification and minimum-necessary practices.

• Python or R for data cleaning, automation and statistical analysis.
