Data Analyst

With your analytical skills, curiosity and a good dose of creativity, you will work as a data analyst in the Monitoring and Data Analysis unit to provide affordable and high-quality healthcare.

Data analytics

Your data analyses contribute to the NZa’s risk-based supervision. For example, you will work on supervising the professional operations of healthcare providers and the accessibility of healthcare. Your work will include analyzing the claims behavior of healthcare providers, researching potential market-wide risks, and building tools for fellow regulators. In the coming period, you will be involved in the Health Insurance Market Monitor, where you will contribute to streamlining existing data processes and performing the associated data analyses. For the analyses, you use large expense files and other financial and economic data, as well as unstructured data collected from public sources. You will work in a motivated team with plenty of room for personal input and development.

The interest of the citizen as a top priority

That is what we stand for as the Dutch Healthcare Authority. We believe it is important that all residents of the Netherlands can trust that good and affordable care is available should they need it. From that perspective, we make rules and supervise care. It is not for nothing that we spend 100 billion euros on it every year. Working at the NZa means varied and sometimes exciting work in which you are busy every day ensuring high-quality and affordable care. And that together with providers, insurers, patients and politicians.

The Supervision Directorate ensures that healthcare providers and health insurers comply with the rules. For example, health insurers must ensure that all insured persons have timely access to good care. Healthcare providers must have professional business operations and charge for treatments appropriately. In addition, healthcare providers must report to the NZa if, for example, they want to merge. If the interests of the patient are at risk, we intervene.

Doing something for society

Making a social contribution is important to you, in this case to healthcare in the Netherlands. In addition, you have a fascination for data, applied to a socially very relevant field. You are curious and like to delve into complex matters. You know how to collect data and include it in your analysis. R, SQL and APIs hold no secrets for you. Puzzling through large amounts of data makes you happy and knows how to extract the right information from it and translate it for colleagues or other users. You are analytical, communicative and, above all, precise in your work. You thrive in a dynamic and changeable environment and switch flawlessly when the situation calls for it. In addition, you have:

• A quantitative university education such as (business) economics, mathematics, statistics, physics or econometrics.
• At least three years of experience with large-scale data processing.
• You make your work reproducible via scripts (preferably in R or Python).
• Basic knowledge of SQL and experience with Git are desirable.
• Preferably, you have experience with charging processes (ETL).

Hybrid and activity-based working

We collaborate with our colleagues online and in our completely renovated building in Utrecht East. The office is (in)geared towards hybrid and activity-based working. This means that we no longer work full-time in the office, but align our attendance with the daily agenda. In the building you will find different types of workplaces that you can choose from. Because your schedule is often flexible, so is your presence at the office. We assume that you spend about half of your time in the office. You make agreements about this with your team and manager.

Regardless of who you are, what you look like, who you love or where you come from, you can find your place at the NZa. We strive for an inclusive culture with plenty of room for a diversity of people and thinking, where all our colleagues can be themselves so that they bring the most colorful version of themselves to work every day.
