About the Role
As a Category Analyst (Respiratory) at Parachute, you will play a pivotal role in building and managing our catalog of respiratory products and services. You will also manage our Insurance Coverage Criteria rules engine, which helps clinicians better understand what items are covered for patients during their time of need. This role involves collaborating closely with various internal and external stakeholders to ensure that our platform offers a comprehensive range of offerings aligned with market demand and business growth strategies.

Conduct in-depth analysis and research within the respiratory categories, including Oxygen, CPAP and Sleep, BiLevels, Ventilators, Nebulizers, Airway Clearance, Suction & Tracheostomy, and Testing & Monitoring. You will become a subject matter expert in product is-ness (how products exist, including their physical attributes), as well as product application (how patients, vendors, clinicians, payors, and manufacturers interact with your product categories). You will also build familiarity with market trends and Parachute's competitive landscape in your categories.
Build and maintain the digital catalog in our Content Management System (CMS). You will analyze and organize various types and volumes of data, sourced from manufacturers and suppliers, to create product listings in our catalog.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Engineering, Account Management, and Customer Success, to enhance the quality and usability of the catalog.
Insurance Coverage Criteria Management:
Analyze complex insurance coverage criteria requirements related to the respiratory categories (e.g., oxygen and PAP LCDs).
Translate these criteria into a flowchart of questions and outputs to facilitate product eligibility determination (our rules engine). Bring your design to life by building, testing, and launching it on the Parachute platform.
Attend webinars and perform periodic research to stay informed about regulatory and industry changes affecting your categories.
Catalog & Coverage Criteria Alignment:
Ensure seamless integration between the insurance rules engine and the catalog to enable efficient ordering processes.
Conduct demonstrations of your work, internally and externally, to gather feedback and prioritize improvements with the greatest impact.
Create and maintain documentation about your work to assist collaboration with colleagues and external stakeholders.
Raise workflow improvement opportunities to relevant internal software development teams.
