With 20 million patients reached since 2013, CareMessage is the only patient engagement solution proven to improve health equity at scale. The team, many with lived experiences in these communities, leverages a nonprofit model to reinvest revenue into impact.

You will work closely with an agile, multidisciplinary team to identify key questions, define metrics, clean and prepare datasets, perform exploratory and descriptive analyses, and create dashboards and reports that enable stakeholders to take data-driven action. These solutions will help generate insights from the organization’s connected data and strengthen our ability to make informed, timely, and impactful decisions.
