Job Description

Use Your Strengths at Wellmark as our National Accounts Analytics Manager! 

About the Role: Reporting to the Director of Key Account Strategy, the National Accounts Analytics Manager is integral to Wellmark’s ability to strengthen our market position and maintain a leading edge in our markets.  Through collaborative engagement with key stakeholders, you will lead and provide strategic direction and oversight to the organization for Wellmark’s UDS submission (plan performance data) and results for continued enhancement and optimization of our submission practices. You will provide expertise on data submission requirements, external consultant methodologies and optimization strategies, while working closely with Actuarial Services, Health Networks, Network Economics, Sales, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, and external vendors to evaluate and understand impacts to demonstrate the full value of our networks.  

Ideal Candidates: You are a strong leader, even when not directly leading a team, with a demonstrated history of building and maintaining meaningful relationships, developed through your ability to communicate and collaborate with a diverse group of team members. Learning energizes you: you are naturally curious and seek out opportunities to improve existing practices, to uncover the ‘why’ and potential impacts, with limited to no direction. Your experience includes the interpretation of large, complex datasets, distilling relevant information into actionable insights through your exceptional consultation skills. You are excited about the idea of having a significant “seat at the table” and driving work critical to the continued success of the organization. If this sounds like you, apply today!
