Job Description

Our Deloitte AI & Engineering team to transform technology platforms, drive innovation, and help make a significant impact on our clients' success. You'll work alongside talented professionals reimagining and reengineering operations and processes that are critical to businesses. Your contributions can help clients improve financial performance, accelerate new digital ventures, and fuel growth through innovation.

  • Conduct data analysis or research in one or more Medicaid and CHIP data domains to include Eligibility and Enrollment Performance Indicator data, TAF, Behavioral Health, Expenditures, 416T reports, and Health outcomes
  • Handle analyses around a very large dataset, identifying outliers, and utilization rate calculations across different geographies.
  • Perform predictive data analysis work to determine forecast utilization or enrollment seasonality.
  • Dive deep into data quality standards, working closely with project leadership, to identify what constitutes a 'good' dataset by considering if the data has referential integrity, if it conforms to expected values, and is comprehensive.
  • Present these findings and analysis in a clear format to project and client leadership.

Deloitte's Government & Public Services (GPS) practice - our people, ideas, technology and outcomes - is designed for impact.
