Labcorp has an exciting new "big data" approach to diagnostic testing.

We have an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated analyst within our Real World Data (RWD) group.
Job Responsibilities
As a Real-World Data, Senior Data Analyst, you will work alongside software engineers, clinicians, data scientists, and informaticists to turn complex testing data into clear, actionable analyses. You'll spend most of your time in SQL and Python — pulling cohorts, investigating data quality issues, and producing the reports and dashboards that internal and external stakeholders rely on. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys digging into messy healthcare data, asking sharp questions of it, and communicating what they find.
Write SQL and Python to extract, transform, and analyze patient-level oncology data from our enterprise data warehouse.
Identify and define patient cohorts of interest in support of internal research and commercial activities, clearly documenting inclusion/exclusion logic and caveats.
Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports that make RWD accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
Investigate data quality issues — tracing anomalies back through pipelines, comparing against source systems, and working with engineers to resolve root causes.
Produce data quality metrics and monitoring to confirm pipelines are operating as expected.
Partner with data scientists and clinicians to prepare analytic datasets, validate outputs, and interpret results in a clinical context.
Document analyses, queries, and methodologies in version-controlled repositories so that work is reproducible and reviewable.
Contribute to ad hoc analyses supporting RWD publications, conference presentations, and client-facing deliverables.
