About Us

Operating across 50 states, Galileo offers high-touch, data-driven, multi-specialty, longitudinal care to diverse and complex patients—on the phone, in the home, and everywhere in between. Regional and national health plans, employers, and Fortune 500 organizations trust Galileo as the leading solution to improve population health. Founded by Dr. Tom X. Lee, the healthcare pioneer behind One Medical and Epocrates, Galileo is a team of leading innovators from healthcare, technology, and human-centered design. Our mission is to apply that talent and scientific thinking to transform society by solving our largest, toughest healthcare problems, while at the same time bringing patient and provider closer.
Galileo is seeking an Analytics Director who thrives at the intersection of deep technical capability and executive influence. In this principal-level individual contributor role, you'll be the go-to authority on claims trends and cost analysis, working directly with our CEO and leadership team to inform critical business decisions while building scalable analytics infrastructure that empowers the entire organization.
A Day in the LifeYou'll spend significant time designing sophisticated claims data models, investigating cost trends, and building self-service analytics tools that help teams answer their own questions. Equally important is the strategic aspect of the role: you'll work directly with executive leadership—including our CEO—to translate complex claims findings into clear, actionable insights that drive business strategy. You'll balance deep analytical work (building DBT pipelines, optimizing SQL queries, designing Tableau dashboards) with high-level stakeholder collaboration, always thinking about how to automate today's manual work and scale solutions across the organization. This role is perfect for someone who wants the technical depth of a data architect with the organizational impact of a strategic advisor.
Key Responsibilities- Design and maintain sophisticated claims analytics models that track medical cost trends, utilization patterns, and financial performance across the member population
- Partner directly with CEO and executive leadership to provide proactive claims analysis, identifying emerging trends 30-60 days before they become critical issues
- Build self-service analytics platforms and automated reporting solutions that enable stakeholders across the organization to access claims insights without bottlenecking through a single analyst
- Translate complex claims data into executive-ready presentations and recommendations that inform strategic decisions on cost management, network strategy, and member experience
- Architect scalable data infrastructure using DBT, SQL, and modern analytics tools that can grow 10x without requiring fundamental rework
- Proactively identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation, and new technologies to improve analytics efficiency and insight quality
- Serve as subject matter expert on claims methodology, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices
- 8+ years of experience in healthcare analytics with deep expertise in claims analysis and medical cost/trend modeling
- Background in health insurance or payer organizations with proven experience leading claims analytics functions or building claims models handling significant volume
- Advanced SQL skills with ability to design complex data models, optimize query performance, and architect data transformation pipelines
- Hands-on experience with DBT for data transformation and modern dashboarding tools (Tableau, Looker, or similar)
- Demonstrated track record of delivering analytics that directly informed C-suite or executive-level business decisions
- Experience building self-service analytics solutions or platforms that enable organizational scale
- You're known for spotting problems before they escalate—you've identified claims trends weeks before they became issues and arrived with root cause analysis and recommendations ready
- You're a natural translator who can take the most technical claims findings and turn them into three-slide executive summaries that CEOs reference in board meetings
- You see manual work and immediately think "how can I automate this?"—you've built tools, dashboards, or processes that scale your impact beyond your individual capacity
- You stay ahead of the curve on healthcare analytics trends, experimenting with new tools (including AI/ML applications) and bringing insights back to your team even when experiments don't pan out
What You'll Gain:
- Direct access to executive leadership, including CEO—your insights will directly shape strategic decisions
- Opportunity to build analytics infrastructure from a strong foundation, with freedom to architect scalable solutions
- Work with a mission-driven healthcare team focused on improving access and outcomes for underserved populations
- Autonomy to identify problems and implement solutions without layers of approval
Compensation: $180,000 - $200,000 + equity
