About the Role

The Senior Analytics Specialist will provide advanced analytical leadership to support UHN’s Surgical Planning work, with a focus on cross-site functional planning for the Sprott Department of Surgery. The role will develop scenario-based planning tools and translate complex clinical, and operational data into recommendations that support long-term, enterprise-wide surgical resource planning.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of scenario-based analytical tools that quantify operational, staffing and capacity impacts of procedural activity growth across UHN Surgery, integrating data from surgical activity, waitlists, OR utilization, case costing, clinical operations and supporting service areas.
  • Assess upstream and downstream impacts of growth scenarios on supporting partners, including Pre-Operative Clinics, MDR, JDMI, Labs, Environmental Services, inpatient wards and other relevant services.
  • Compare scenario outputs against UHN Surgery strategic priorities, system demand, population health needs, market trends, government priorities, resource constraints and funding considerations to identify feasible growth options.
  • Develop evidence-based recommendations for surgical growth, resource allocation, OR and procedural planning, staffing models and sustainable activity planning, including projected impacts on surgical waitlist volumes, wait times and patients beyond target thresholds.
  • Engage clinical programs and operational leaders to validate current and future demand, clinical requirements, planning assumptions, feasibility and risks associated with proposed scenarios.
  • Prepare executive-ready reports, briefing materials and presentations that communicate complex analysis, assumptions, methodology, data quality considerations, sensitivity testing, risks and recommendations in clear plain language, while documenting methods for transparency and knowledge transfer.

Requirements

  • Undergraduate degree in Health Informatics, Public Health, Computer Science, Business, Health Administration, Engineering, Statistics, Data Science or a related field is required; a Masters’ degree is considered an asset.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of progressive experience in healthcare analytics, decision support, operational planning, performance reporting, modelling or related analytical roles, preferably in a hospital or health system environment.
  • Demonstrated experience independently leading complex analyses from problem definition through data acquisition, modelling, interpretation, stakeholder validation and recommendation development.
  • Advanced experience developing visualizations, analytical models, scenario tools, routine reports and ad-hoc analyses using multiple clinical, operational and/or financial datasets.
  • Advanced technical proficiency with SQL or Excel is required; experience with Power BI, Python, R, MS Azure, simulation or optimization tools considered an asset; knowledge of surgical systems, OR activity, access and waitlist management, patient flow, capacity planning, staffing, case costing and funding considerations considered an asset.
  • Strong analytical judgement, systems thinking, problem-solving, communication, stakeholder engagement and organizational skills, with the ability to synthesize ambiguous information, identify patterns and risks, translate complex technical information for clinical, operational and executive audiences, influence without direct authority and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Current UHN employees must have successfully completed their probationary period, have a good employee record along with satisfactory attendance in accordance with UHN's attendance management program, to be eligible for consideration.
  • Vaccines (COVID and others) are a requirement of the job unless you have an exemption on a medical ground pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code.
  • A Criminal Record Check may be required of the successful candidate.
