This Opportunity 

This Partner Data Analyst position is a high impact, customer-facing role that requires a diverse set of skills spanning technical execution, applied research methodology, and relationship management. You will work directly with life sciences partners to translate research questions into analytical approaches, execute studies using real-world Electronic Health Record (EHR) data (~120M+ patients), and guide customers in best practices for real-world evidence generation.

You will play a key role in advancing customer research by helping shape analytical approaches, ensuring methodological rigor, and driving projects forward from question to insight. While customers may define or co-develop study protocols, you will provide guidance on study design, bias considerations, statistical approaches, and interpretation of results. This role requires balancing rapid-response analytical support with deeper, more complex investigations, while maintaining a high bar for scientific rigor and customer experience.

• Communicate on the status of various projects and collaborate with success managers to ensure that Truveta clients can be successful with the platform.
• Guide customers on best practices in real-world data research, including study design tradeoffs and interpretation of results
• Lead customer-facing discussions to unblock research challenges and drive projects forward
• Collaborate with customers to support peer-reviewed publications and high-quality research outputs
• Deliver both rapid-response analyses and deeper, in-depth investigations depending on customer needs
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for customer analyses, code, and notebooks
• Create enablement materials as the Truveta platform evolves to help onboard new researchers to our increasing capabilities.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to investigate data quality and demonstrate data reliability
• Deliver feedback to internal teams based on customer requests to inform Truveta's product roadmap.

• 3+ years of experience wrangling and analyzing Electronic Health Record data or other Real World Data sources in life science companies, CROs, other EHR data companies or healthcare organizations.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, R and/or Python for statistical analysis
• Experience working across large, multi-domain healthcare datasets with millions of patients and hundreds of millions of records, leveraging distributed computing frameworks for scalable analysis.
• Willingness to learn new coding languages including internal proprietary coding language to analyze data and build cohorts.
• Strong understanding of real-world evidence principles, including bias, confounding, and study design considerations.
• Demonstrated experience applying research methodologies, including cohort design and statistical approaches.
• Experience delivering high-quality product demonstrations that enable customers or stakeholders to understand and effectively leverage data, platform capabilities, and analytical workflows.
• Proven ability to learn, adapt, and independently drive multiple projects forward in a fast-paced, start-up environment.
