The Role

Cedar is a patient payment and engagement platform that elevates the total patient experience beyond clinical care. The platform leverages data science and great technology to deliver modern intelligence and simplify the healthcare experience for patients.

Cedar is growing fast. We must learn how to best engage with patients who have gone through procedures ranging from regular checkups to chemotherapy. We are also building software that is helping patients with a range of tasks: from scheduling a visit to resolving their balance. Our team is looking for a Data Science Lead for our Experimentation program and Personalization research.

The Data Science team is in charge of making sense of the vast amount of data we have available to help achieve our company’s vision. We build analytics for our clients and our teams to inform the product development process. We tell stories about all aspects of the patient journey and use quantitative analyses to explain patient behavior. We run experiments to test our various hypotheses and iterate using our results. We build models to drive better decision-making - both within our organization and for our clients in the healthcare industry.
