Geospatial Analysis Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Founded in 1977 as the Senior Care Action Network, SCAN began with a simple but radical idea: that older adults deserve to stay healthy and independent. That belief was championed by a group of community activists we still honor today as the "12 Angry Seniors." Their mission continues to guide everything we do.

Today, SCAN is a nonprofit health organization serving more than 500,000 people across Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington, with over $8 billion in annual revenue. With nearly five decades of experience, we have built a distinctive, values-driven platform dedicated to improving care for older adults.

Our work spans Medicare Advantage, fully integrated care models, primary care, care for the most medically and socially complex populations, and next-generation care delivery models. Across all of this, we are united by a shared commitment: combining compassion with discipline, innovation with stewardship, and growth with integrity.

At SCAN, we believe scale should strengthen-not dilute-our mission. We are building the future of care for older adults, grounded in purpose, accountability, and respect for the people and communities we serve.

The Job

The Senior Analyst, Network Analytics supports SCAN's strategic decision-making across Network, Medical Economics, and related business partners by delivering analytics that improve network performance, affordability, access, and provider strategy.

A core expectation of the role is the application of advanced analytics to SCAN's network optimization goals, including provider segmentation, geospatial analysis, opportunity identification, scenario modeling, and predictive or statistical methods that support network design and contracting decisions. The role combines strong analytical execution with business partnership, helping translate complex claims, provider, contract, and market data into actionable insights for network strategy, provider negotiations, and performance improvement.

You Will
