[Remote] Lead Data Analyst

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Parachute Health is transforming post-acute care through a digital ordering and order management platform for medical equipment and supplies. The Lead Data Analyst serves as the senior individual contributor on the Data Analytics team, leading rigorous end-to-end analyses, designing reporting frameworks, shaping data models, mentoring analysts, and advising stakeholders across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end analyses on high-stakes, often ambiguous questions — from framing the problem through recommendation and impact measurement
• Design dashboards and reporting frameworks that let stakeholders answer their own routine questions without opening a ticket — and recognize when a dashboard is the wrong answer
• Set the bar for analytical rigor, methodology, and documentation. By example and by reviewing others' work, not by mandate
• Apply statistical methods, experimentation design, and causal inference where they sharpen a conclusion rather than decorate it
• Move between business domains and be credible in each, rather than owning one
• Partner with leadership to identify where data can drive efficiency, growth, and improve outcomes — including the questions nobody has asked yet
• Work closely with analytics engineers on data modeling. You'll shape what gets built in the warehouse layer, not just consume it
• Turn recurring analytical needs into durable models instead of one-off queries
• Hold a high standard for canonical definitions — when two reports disagree, you're the one who finds out why
• Mentor analysts on technique and business judgment. You don't manage anyone — you're the person newer analysts learn from
• Translate findings into clear, concise language for both technical and non-technical audiences. If a new hire couldn't repeat the takeaway back to you, it isn't ready to ship
• Influence senior stakeholders, including being the one who says "the data doesn't support that" to someone who wanted a different answer

Skills

• 8+ years in data analysis, business intelligence, or a comparable analytical role, with a track record of insights that changed how a business made decisions
• 2+ years operating at a senior analyst level — owning complex projects end-to-end and holding others to a quality standard
• Experience supporting multiple business functions from a central analytics team
• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or technical field, or equivalent experience
• Hands-on experience with modern cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or similar)
• Expert-level SQL
• Strong Python for statistical work
• Advanced Looker or comparable BI tool experience — LookML, dashboard design, and semantic layer thinking
• Working knowledge of experimentation design and causal inference — enough to catch correlation being mistaken for causation
• Comfort collaborating with analytics engineers on data modeling and warehouse design
• You take a half-formed business question and turn it into a structured analysis without someone holding your hand
• You mentor without formal authority — people want your input because it's good, not because you outrank them
• You get up to speed on an unfamiliar part of the business quickly, and you'd rather serve ten stakeholders than one
• You operate well in ambiguity and move with urgency
• Comfort working with data adjacent to patient and healthcare information, and sound judgment about handling sensitive information, is a plus given our industry
• Exposure to revenue and go-to-market data — pipeline, forecasting, funnel, retention, CRM
