Associate Data Analyst (College Grad 2027)

Solace is a healthcare startup that helps patients navigate the U.S. healthcare system by pairing them with expert advocates and providing decision-support tools. The Associate Data Analyst will turn data into decisions, answer stakeholder questions, build dashboards and reports, contribute to dbt models, and proactively surface insights that improve the business.

What you'll do:

• Ship real analysis in your first weeks: answering live questions from Product, Operations, Marketing, and Finance stakeholders who will act on what you find
• Write SQL daily, working with structured and messy semi-structured data to extract signal from noise
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports in Hex that give stakeholders self-serve access to the metrics that matter most
• Learn how a multi-sided marketplace actually works: supply, demand, match quality, and conversion, and how data connects it all
• Go beyond the ticket queue: build your own understanding of the business, proactively surface insights that change decisions, and present your findings directly to stakeholders
• Contribute to our dbt models, learning how the data layer is built and earning ownership of transformations as you ramp
• Grow your craft: learn how to write great SQL, design dashboards people actually use, talk to stakeholders, and make smart analytical decisions that drive business impact

What they're looking for:

• A bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Economics, Math, Computer Science, or related, graduating between December 2026 and June 2027
• Working SQL skills and the drive to become an expert fast
• Projects that show you can work with real data to drive impact: internships, research, coursework projects, hackathons, or personal analyses. We care about what you've actually dug into, not just what you studied
• You use AI as a real collaborator for SQL, code, and analysis, and you know when to double-check it. Fluency here means both: moving faster with it, and catching it when it's confidently wrong
• A bias toward action. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you'd rather ship a good answer today than a perfect answer in three weeks
• Confident communication. You can explain your thinking simply, take feedback without defensiveness, and lead with the "so what."
• Applicants must be based in the United States
• Experience with a BI or notebook tool (Hex, Tableau, Looker, Metabase, Jupyter)
• Python or R for analysis or automation
• Exposure to dbt or version control (Git)

Benefits:

• Mentorship from senior analysts
• In-person role in the Redwood City office, 3 days a week
