Your role at Baxter

As a Data Analyst, Audits & Controls, you’ll be joining the Respiratory Health team at a moment when they’re strengthening the way patient and revenue data move through the business. You’ll work closely with experienced partners to rebuild core audit reporting, identify system gaps, and ensure the right information flows smoothly through each step of the process.

What makes this role appealing is the mix of stability and meaningful impact. The team knows where improvements are needed and is looking for someone who can take ownership, communicate confidently with leaders, and bring structure to complex processes.

If you enjoy solving operational problems and building analytics that truly matter, this role offers immediate impact.

This position follows a hybrid schedule and is based out of our St. Paul, MN office.

What you’ll bring

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate analytical findings and control insights into clear, actionable guidance for business partners.

• Experience working with tools such as TIMS, SQL Server Management Studio, Power Automate, Informatica, Python, ALM, or ERP systems like JDE—or the ability and curiosity to learn them quickly.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including the ability to identify anomalies, assess risk, and turn findings into meaningful recommendations.

• Comfort collaborating with cross‑functional teams and acting as a liaison between business users and technical partners to clarify needs and deliver reliable solutions.

• Preferred: Experience in revenue cycle, financial or operational reporting, internal controls, compliance monitoring, or operational risk analysis.
