Description

Health Quality and Stars (HQS) is responsible for improving health outcomes and advancing the care experience of members and provider partners through quality solutions. HQS is committed to caring for customers and delivering high plan quality as rated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

This role will partner across Stars and the enterprise to strengthen data availability, define meaningful performance measures, monitor outcomes, and create decision-ready insights. The role requires both deep technical expertise and strong business judgment, with the ability to influence stakeholders, establish shared accountability, and connect analytics directly to population-specific strategy and execution.

• Own deep, holistic operational reporting for priority initiatives and provide regular executive-level rollups that clarify performance, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions. 

• Measure initiative effectiveness and member outcomes, identify what is and is not working, and recommend strategy adjustments based on evidence. 

• Monitor performance of critical populations within existing programs and assess how outreach and engagement efforts can be better coordinated to reduce unnecessary touchpoints and improve effectiveness. 

• Use forecasting, scenario analysis, and predictive techniques, where appropriate, to estimate opportunity, prioritize focus areas, and support resource allocation decisions. 

• Become a subject matter expert in member-level Stars measure specifications and the underlying data used to identify performance drivers and improvement opportunities. 

• Partner with strategy, clinical, operations, technology, member-facing, provider-facing, and analytics teams to improve data accessibility and embed population insights into enterprise tools and routines. 

• Provide independent, data-supported recommendations and influence cross-functional partners to create shared accountability for Stars Population Health priorities and results. 

• Support the design and evaluation of targeted, longitudinal strategies for hard-to-reach populations, balancing optimization of existing programs with selective innovation.
