Ireland Optum Full time

Optum is a global organisation that delivers care, aided by technology to help millions of people live healthier lives. The work you do with our team will directly improve health outcomes by connecting people with the care, pharmacy benefits, data and resources they need to feel their best. Here, you will find a culture guided by diversity and inclusion, talented peers, comprehensive benefits and career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health equity on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. 

About the Role:

In healthcare, evolution doesn’t just happen. It takes innovation, imagination, and a passion for solving problems in new and better ways. And innovation is taking place at a lightning-fast pace every day at Optum. 
As the fastest growing part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, we’re expanding our team in Ireland and creating excellent opportunities for those who want greater purpose and more impact in their work. We’ll provide the investment, support, and resources to advance your career. You’ll provide the talent, ambition, and drive.

Todays' RCM is inherently complex due to opaque and payer-specific adjudication rules, incurring significant waste and inefficiency. Optum Insight is committed to delivering new technology and processes to improve the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) workflow using advances in Gen AI and other state-of-the-art technology that would ultimately benefit all stakeholders involved in the healthcare ecosystem — payers, providers, and patients.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to enhance our capacity to develop new analytic products. As a key member of the Data Science Team, you will be part of UnitedHealth Group's mission of helping people live healthier lives. You will work with other Data Scientists and subject matter experts to conduct and manage outcomes of various analytic studies. As part of this team, you will be empowered to analyze data, create solutions and build production-ready models. Join us There's never been a better time to do your life's best work

This position will report to the Director Data Science in Ireland and will support the development of an exciting new product which will form part of the OptumInsight product suite. The position will work in partnership with a diverse analytic peer group in Ireland, while building strong relationships with US-based AI/ML experts. 

Careers with Optum offer flexible work arrangements and individuals who live and work in the Republic of Ireland will have the opportunity to split their monthly work hours between our Dublin or Letterkenny offices and telecommuting from a home-based office in a hybrid work model. 

Primary Responsibilities:

• Analyze, review and interpret complex data through the development of case-studies, enabling the data to tell a story. 
• Build and maintain production-ready machine-learning models. 
• Identify drivers of patterns / behaviors uncovered in data and use these to explain business trends. 
• Contribute to the design and realization of analytical based tools/assets to identify and monitor non-standard claim patterns. 
• Engage with subject-matter experts to explore business problems and design solutions. 
• Present analysis and interpretation for both operational and business review and planning. 
• Support short and long term operational and strategic business activities through the use of data and develop recommended business solutions through research, analysis and implement when appropriate. 

You will be rewarded and recognised for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role, as well as providing development for other roles you may be interested in.

Required Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in Statistics, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering or similar analytic domain with a significant quantitative aspect. 
• Substantial hands-on experience in AI/ML using contemporary tools such as PyTorch. 
• Track record of developing and deploying machine learning models in production environments. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Natural curiosity to learn more, dig into details, and understand the key drivers of emerging trends and challenges

At UnitedHealth Group, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalised groups and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes — an enterprise priority reflected in our mission.

Diversity creates a healthier atmosphere: Optum is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age, race, and membership of the Traveller community, or any other characteristic protected by law.
