You work with data from the region's information environments and use tools such as SQL and Power Query for data extraction, processing, and analyses. The role requires analytical ability, technical understanding, and the ability to translate insights into practically usable solutions. You act as a bridge between the organization's needs and the technical possibilities available, guiding operations and managers on how data and analyses can be used to make well-founded decisions. A central part of the assignment is to provide qualified support to research and medical development. You collaborate with researchers on data extraction, data processing, and quality assurance of health data, and contribute to developing efficient methods for research.

Together, we develop data-driven decision support and methods that strengthen planning, control, business development, and research. The work is characterized by collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a common ambition to create value for healthcare and the region's inhabitants. Here, you will work on complex and socially significant issues where health data contributes to better decisions, increased knowledge, and improved care.
