• Define and enforce data modeling best practices, including schema evolution, lossless data modeling, metadata management, and data versioning.
• Convert conceptual and logical data models into optimized physical ERDs using enterprise data modeling tools (Erwin, ER/Studio, DBT, or similar).
• Ensure models support analytical (data science, actuarial, reporting) and operational (Claims, Care Management) use cases.
• Maintain metadata, business glossary, and data dictionaries to support data lineage and governance.
• Own data modeling workflows, including version control, schema deployment, and upgrade automation.
• Work with engineering teams to implement data models in Databricks, Snowflake, and modern cloud architectures.
• Optimize data models for update performance, query performance, indexing, partitioning, and storage efficiency as appropriate.
• Ensure data enrichment (standardization, transformations, algorithms, and grouping) is seamlessly integrated into the data models.
• Collaborate with Director of Data Modeling and client implementation teams to understand client needs, assess data model impact, and enhance models for efficient implementations.

 
What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of experience in data modeling, enterprise data architecture, and cloud-based data engineering
• 4+ years leading data modeling teams in enterprise environments.
• Expertise in enterprise data modeling tools (Erwin, ER/Studio, DBSchema, or similar).
• Strong hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake) and data lakehouse architectures.
• Deep understanding of healthcare data models across Core Payer (Claims, Membership, Enrollment, Provider, Billing, Premium) and Clinical Interoperability (FHIR, HL7, ADT, CCDA, etc.) domains.
• Experience with NoSql modeling, schema evolution, lossless data modeling, and data versioning strategies.
• Strong background in SQL, performance tuning, and query optimization for large-scale datasets.
• Hands-on experience with data engineering workflows, including data pipeline integration, ELT/ETL optimizations, and data transformation frameworks.
• Ability to mentor junior modelers, enforce modeling best practices, and drive adoption of enterprise data standards.
• Excellent collaboration skills to work with data architects, engineers, analysts, and client implementation teams.

Nice to Have:

• Healthcare reporting experience.
• Experience with OBT, data lakehouse, and metadata management frameworks.
• Familiarity with business intelligence (BI) and reporting solutions on modern cloud data warehouses.
