Role Description

Your North Star: Use data to drive operational improvements and product decisions across our growing portfolio of businesses, helping us deliver better care and build sustainable growth.

We're looking for an experienced, product-minded data scientist who will make an immediate impact across Pomelo’s new business lines.

This role requires someone who can quickly understand what matters most, and help teams make better decisions faster using a variety of data science tools and approaches.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with product and operations leaders to tighten the feedback loop on changes—analyzing metrics related to appointment show rates, care team efficiency, and revenue cycle funnel to measure impact and inform iterations
• Build operational reporting for new business lines, tracking patient enrollment, engagement, and key outcome metrics
• Analyze patient outcomes data from surveys and clinical measures to quantify the impact of our care and identify our highest-leverage improvement opportunities
• Design and evaluate experiments across product features and operational processes to systematically test hypotheses and drive continuous improvement
• Leverage behavioral and utilization data to uncover patterns in patient behavior that inform future product development
• Build new data models and pipelines to ensure teams have access to clean, reliable data and enable flexible customer-facing reporting
• Prioritize requests across multiple products and workstreams to focus on the highest impact work
• Translate complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations that inform business decisions

Who you are

---------------

You're an impact-oriented data scientist who gets energized by solving real business problems and wearing many hats. You don't need perfect data or a six-month runway—you can figure out what's possible with what you have and deliver value quickly. Specifically:

• You have 4+ years of professional experience in data science, analytics, or analytics engineering
• You're highly proficient in SQL and comfortable working across the data stack
• You have strong product intuition and understand how to prioritize work based on business impact
• You've worked in fast-paced environments where you needed to balance multiple stakeholders and shifting priorities
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and can scope your own projects without detailed requirements
• You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences
• You have experience building dashboards and reports that people actually use (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Metabase)
• You're excited about maternal and women's health and want your work to directly improve patient care

Bonus points if you have:

• Proficiency in Python
• Experience in healthcare operations, value-based care, or D2C healthcare products
