Brightline brings virtual behavioral and mental health care to families, when and where they need it. Every decision we make about how to grow, where to invest, and how to support our clinicians runs through data, and we need an analyst who can turn that data into a clear point of view.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who wants real ownership over how a business unit understands itself. You will be embedded with one of Brightline's business units, acting as the analytics point of contact for a full portfolio of stakeholders and the work that matters most to them.
You won't just pull numbers. You will translate what the data says into recommendations that shape real business decisions, and you will be trusted to know which problems are worth solving and which technical debt is worth surfacing before it becomes a bigger issue. You will partner directly with data leadership to engineer and mature your portfolio's analytics stack, and you will be the person stakeholders come to when they need to understand not just what happened, but why it matters.
If you want a role where your judgment on data governance, insight development, and analytics engineering carries real weight, and you are excited to bring new AI tools into how you work rather than wait for someone else to introduce them, this is that role.

Analytics Engineering & Data Architecture
