Senior BI Analyst (Commercial)
About the Role
We're standing up a new Sales Intelligence team inside Business Intelligence, and this is its founding analyst hire, reporting directly to the team lead.
Our mission: turn R1's operational data into evidence sales can act on and diagnostics we can bring to customers. Running the revenue cycle for hundreds of health systems gives us a proprietary view of client's opportunity for us to solve. This team mines that view to fuel pipeline growth and sales support, starting a first-of-its-kind, data-driven cross-sell initiative for existing customers.
You'll help build the methodology, the internal product, and the analyses behind it: packaging data so a regional rep or hospital CFO understands the problem and the fix in terminology they understand.
If you'd rather invent a function than maintain one, this role is for you. You'll work directly with the team lead and partner closely with Sales SVPs/VPs, BI, and Operations SMEs.
What You'll Own
- Build and maintain data models that turn raw operational feeds into clean, queryable signal layers.
- Develop the logic that scores and prioritizes opportunities by account and solution, reasoning carefully about what the data does and doesn't support.
- Turn analysis into deliverables a non-technical audience can use, including the quarterly account briefs sales runs on.
- Present findings and defend recommendations directly to sales leadership and senior stakeholders.
- Pressure-test your numbers for bias and blind spots before they reach a rep.
- Partner with sales leadership to learn what actually lands in a deal, and feed that back into the analytics.
What You'll Need
- Strong communication and storytelling - explain findings to non-data audiences, package them for action, and hold your own with VPs and SVPs.
- First-principles problem framing - we're in pilot phase; ambiguity should excite you.
- Analytical maturity - reason clearly about sampling, bias, and blind spots.
- Comfort with data and willingness to build technical depth - you don't need to be a SQL expert on day one; we lean into AI tooling (cloud code, LLMs) and will invest in getting you up to speed.
- Track record of owning work end to end and appetite to grow into a lead.
Nice to Have, Not Required
- Background in a startup, small company, or new team where you wore multiple hats.
- SQL, Python, or modern BI/visualization tooling (we use Streamlit, a Python-based dashboarding tool).
- Exposure to healthcare revenue cycle, payer denials, or hospital finance.
- Experience creating business cases, roadmaps, rollout plans, or dashboards.
- Commercial, sales, or go-to-market analytics background.
What Success Looks Like
First 30 days
- Can explain the function back to me: what our team’s goal is, what each solution is, how healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) works, what the Signal Report does, and how our operational data flows.
- Has working access to our data and has conducted self-guided exploration and discovery.
- Has started to build key internal relationships.
- Has delivered one small real analysis.
By 90 days
- Owns quarterly tracking for sales recommendations to ensure pipeline is being generated using internal and salesforce data.
- Handles follow up work: chasing and supporting outcomes, supporting analyses and explaining methodologies to sales teams and clients.
- Developed analytical judgement and reasoning to ask the right questions on net new problems and is starting to connect the dots as to where our team sits.
- Has become a node for the cross-functional team: stakeholders go to them for small things instead of routing them through the team lead
