OUR MISSION

We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.

Today, Thyme Care is a market-leading value-based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high-touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person’s cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.

As a tech-native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.

Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you’re inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what’s possible, we’d love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.

Develop, run, and optimize SQL queries to extract, transform, and validate healthcare claims and operational data used in actuarial analyses and performance estimates.
Perform ad hoc and exploratory data analyses to investigate performance trends, identify drivers of over- or under-performance, and surface actionable insights for internal stakeholders.
Evaluate the reasonableness and sensitivity of model outputs, proactively identifying data quality issues, assumptions, or emerging risks.
Collaborate cross-functionally with analytics, clinical, and operations teams to ensure alignment between data, models, and real-world workflows.
Contribute to the improvement and automation of actuarial processes and analytical pipelines as the organization scales, helping to establish best practices in a start-up environment.
