Full Job Description
About the Role

Savista is looking for a Director of Analytics to lead the strategy, delivery, and continuous improvement of our analytics and reporting capabilities. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can move fluidly between big-picture strategy and the details of a well-built dashboard; someone who sees data not just as numbers on a screen, but as a lever for better business decisions.

You'll partner directly with business leaders across the organization to understand what they need, translate that into a clear analytics roadmap, and lead a team of analysts and developers to deliver it. You'll also be a key voice in shaping how Savista's analytics function evolves, from data architecture and tooling to process and team capability.

What You'll Do

Set the Analytics Strategy
  • Develop and drive a comprehensive analytics and reporting strategy that ties directly to business objectives.
  • Ensure every analytics initiative connects back to broader company strategy - no orphaned dashboards.

Be the Bridge to the Business
  • Build strong relationships with business leaders and departments to understand their goals, pain points, and reporting needs.
  • Facilitate prioritization of work / initiatives with business leaders.
  • Proactively spot opportunities where analytics can move the needle, rather than waiting to be asked.

Turn Data Into Decisions
  • Design, build, and maintain advanced reports and dashboards that make complex data intuitive and actionable.
  • Tailor insights to the audience, from frontline teams to senior leadership.

Lead and Grow the Team
  • Guide analysts and developers on best practices in data analysis, reporting, and visualization.
  • Foster a culture of quality, curiosity, and continuous improvement within the team.

Own Data Integrity
  • Oversee data collection, validation, and integrity to ensure the analytics team is always working from accurate, reliable data.
  • Design strategies for gathering and reviewing data requirements before projects kick off.

Run Projects That Deliver
  • Lead analytics projects end-to-end; scoping, requirements, documentation, execution, and delivery.
  • Use Agile methodologies to keep projects moving and teams aligned.

Continuous Improvement
  • Regularly assess analytics processes and reporting methods, and don't settle for "good enough."
  • Bring in new tools, techniques, and best practices to level up the team's capabilities.

Communicate With Clarity
  • Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership in a way that drives action.
  • Facilitate meetings that create alignment; not just status updates.

Collaborate Across IT
  • Work closely with IT and data engineering to make sure the underlying infrastructure can support analytics at scale.
  • Partner cross-functionally to embed analytics into everyday business processes.


Requirements

Experience
  • 7+ years in analytics or data analysis, including experience working directly with business stakeholders to identify and solve reporting needs.
  • A track record of leading projects (and ideally, people) from idea to impact.
  • Healthcare or revenue cycle management (RCM) experience is a plus, though not required.

Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Business Analytics, or a related field.

Technical Toolkit
  • Strong SQL skills.
  • Hands-on experience with the Microsoft Power Platform; Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate.
  • Familiarity with Azure Cloud and Azure DevOps.
  • GitHub experience is a nice-to-have.
  • Solid grasp of data modeling, data warehousing, and ETL processes.


How You Work
  • You can diagnose a messy problem and design a clean solution.
  • You turn complexity into clarity; for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
  • You communicate and present with confidence, whether it's a working session or an executive readout.
  • You think strategically but aren't afraid to get into the details.
  • You manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment without losing sight of quality.
  • You're proactive, self-motivated, and detail-oriented
