Description

We are looking for a Data Analyst to join a healthcare organization in Bloomington, Minnesota, and turn complex data needs into clear, actionable reporting solutions. This role partners with internal stakeholders to define reporting objectives, develop reliable analyses, and deliver insights that support informed operational and business decisions. The ideal candidate brings strong technical ability, careful attention to accuracy, and a service-oriented approach to improving reporting tools and data usability.

Responsibilities

Partner with departments across the organization to clarify reporting goals, uncover the underlying business question, and identify the most effective analytical approach.

Explain report content, data definitions, and inclusion or exclusion criteria so stakeholders can interpret results with confidence. Work with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for better automation, stronger reporting processes, and more efficient delivery of analytics services. Troubleshoot reporting issues, correct defects, and implement updates when changes in business logic or system development affect existing outputs.

Maintain documentation for completed requests, update shared libraries and project tracking tools, and support planning activities related to timelines and deliverables. Perform audits of key reports, assist with analytics database testing, and contribute user stories or feedback to help ensure data accuracy and system performance. Review report usage trends, provide ongoing user education, and recommend enhancements that increase adoption and improve report functionality.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience in data analysis, reporting, or a closely related analytical role. Hands-on experience with SQL, SSRS, Power BI, DAX, and query development for business reporting. Proficiency with Excel, SharePoint, Microsoft Office, and Power Platform or comparable automation tools.
