Job Description
Itâ™s a new day in health care!

Combining CVS Health and Aetna was a ground-breaking moment for our company and our industry, establishing CVS Health as the nationâ™s premier health innovation company. Through our health services, insurance plans and community pharmacists, weâ™re pioneering a bold new approach to total health.

As a CVS Health colleague, youâ™ll be at the center of it all. We offer a diverse work experience that empowers colleagues for career success.

Looking for opportunities to use cutting edge technologies analyzing petabytes of data in a world class Hadoop cluster? Interested in generating analytical insights that help members make the best decisions for the individual care needs?

Three reasons why you should join the analytics team at CVS Caremark:
First, prescription drugs are hugely important. Americans spend roughly $350b in prescription drugs per yearâ¦more than $1,000 per person per year. We spend more than almost any place on Earthâ¦and itâ™s not clear that weâ™re getting good value.

Second, CVS-Caremark is at the center of addressing this problem. We are the largest PBM. Caremark negotiates drug purchases on behalf of ~100 million people. Plus, CVS has 10,000 retail stores and a 20 million strong health plan. Together, we have the scale to make a big difference.

Finally, there is huge untapped analytic opportunity, including using machine learning to optimize rebates in a way no competitor canâ¦and using Aetna to measure health outcomes and negotiate value-based contracts. Our team, and more importantly, our impact is growingâ¦and Iâ™d like you to be part of that growth.

Aetnaâ™s Member analytics team is an innovative team tasked with optimizing our ability to engage with members to help them make better healthcare decisions. Our goals are to improve clinical outcomes and to help members gain more transparency into the healthcare system so that they can save money. To do this weâ™ve developed a leading capability that combines data science, agile marketing, behavioral economics, large scale experimentation, and optimization of our digital properties and applications. Through this we message millions of members each year about real challenges they face and help them become healthier or save money â“ we drive tangible and meaningful impact for our members.
