IT Analyst II
Your Opportunity:
Are you a motivated, detail-oriented data professional looking to advance your career in healthcare data integration, analytics, and business intelligence? Join our Reporting and Analytics team and play a critical role in delivering trusted data that supports clinical, operational, and financial decision-making. As an IT Analyst II, you will support and administer mission-critical data systems that power enterprise reporting and analytics. You will work closely with end users, clinicians, service delivery teams, and technical partners to collect and clarify requirements, translate business and clinical needs into technical solutions, and own delivery from initial requirements through final project implementation. Your responsibilities will include system and application administration, development, monitoring, and support of data integration pipelines, and ensuring data accuracy, reliability, and auditability. You will design, implement, and maintain solutions across cloud-based and on-premises environments, with a strong emphasis on data quality, security, and regulatory compliance in a healthcare setting. In this role, you will troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, lead assigned technical project tasks and contribute to continuous improvement and system enhancements.

You will be responsible for more advanced application, telecom or technology support duties. You will investigate, diagnose, and resolve complex problems that have typically been escalated several levels before assignment to this position, and will translate business requirements into technical requirements for a solution and recommend a potential approach to the vendor.
