Garner's mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high quality and affordable care for all. By helping employers restructure their healthcare benefit to provide clear incentives and data-driven insights, we direct employees to higher quality and lower cost healthcare providers.

- Building data-driven algorithms that power our care navigation, doctor ranking, and healthcare-related financial products by applying medical and healthcare economics understanding
- Developing deep medical and healthcare economics understanding, through both data analysis and qualitative research.
- Contributing to our thinking on how to assess doctors and/or how to change behavior to achieve higher quality and lower cost healthcare.
Ideal candidate has:
- 2-5 years professional experience in healthcare and/or data science fields
- Formal training in both data science and a branch of healthcare (applied medicine, biostatistics, health informatics, health economics, health insurance, etc.)
- Experience with Python and SQL
- A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
- Experience working in a rapidly evolving startup environment
- A desire to be a part of our mission to improve the U.S. healthcare system
What we look for at Garner:
- Mission First: Our mission is to transform our healthcare system, delivering high quality and affordable care to all. Everything else is secondary.
- Expect Extraordinary: Our mission is audacious, so we will only succeed by producing exceptional results. We continually push ourselves and each other to new heights and beyond our comfort zones.
- Courageous Communication: Transparency and candor are imperative to realizing our potential as an organization and as individuals—even when uncomfortable. Many companies talk about these values. We live them.
- Supportive community: We know that people do their best work and learn the most when they feel genuinely supported and cared for. It’s also more fun that way.
