EMR Analyst (Athena)
Hybrid - Austin, TX | Clinical Informatics | Full-Time
POSITION OVERVIEW
Harbor Health is seeking a collaborative EMR Analyst to join our team. Harbor Health is an entirely new multi-specialty clinic group in Texas utilizing a modern approach to co-create health with those who get, give, and pay for it — allowing everyone to fully flourish. In this role, you will manage the day-to-day administration, optimization, and continuous improvement of our Athena EMR — the backbone of how we deliver care. You will configure, maintain, and enhance the platform to drive efficient healthcare delivery and operational improvement across the organization, while also providing lighter-touch support for adjacent clinical applications as we grow.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment, moves with a strong sense of urgency, and brings the organization, reliable follow-through, and collaborative instincts to execute effectively against leadership priorities — in alignment with our mission of transforming healthcare through our payvider model.
POSITION DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Configure, implement, maintain, and continuously optimize the Athena EMR platform, providing hands-on day-to-day administration and support
- Conduct workflow assessments, capture business needs, and analyze internal systems to identify functional requirements that maximize utilization of Athena
- Develop and configure moderate-to-high-complexity break-fix and configuration solutions in Athena through due diligence and research
- Collaborate with technical resources to review, build, test, and debug Athena, including active participation during testing for implementations and upgrades
- Use project management platforms (monday.com and Jira) to keep work organized, on schedule, and clearly tracked — ensuring assigned action items are followed through to completion
- Partner with the training team by providing EMR and system expertise, and supporting virtual training sessions and tip sheets as needed
- Provide support for Athena-integrated and other clinical applications such as Phreesia, and help onboard new applications as Harbor Health grows
- Identify and recommend process and system improvements that leverage new Athena functionality for leadership review
- Cultivate strong relationships with end-user communities, clinical and operational teams, revenue cycle management (RCM), and other business partners
DESIRED PROFESSIONAL SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
Required:
- Hands-on Athena EMR experience in a healthcare setting, weighted toward technical/system configuration — back-end tables, behind-the-scenes build, and system setup — rather than end-user support
- Strong sense of urgency with the ability to prioritize and execute in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Highly organized self-starter who manages multiple concurrent initiatives and reliably follows through on commitments
- Experience using project management platforms (monday.com and Jira) and familiarity with project management methodology
- Dependable meeting attendance and preparedness — shows up on time, ready, and accountable for next steps
- Strong collaboration skills with the ability to bring teams together and foster effective cooperation across functions
- Demonstrated analytical thinking, critical problem-solving, and conflict-resolution skills
- Effective communication skills to translate technical and system concepts clearly for clinical, operational, and business partners
- Experience developing technical/system design specifications and carrying out system builds
- Strategic thinker who adapts and responds effectively to changes in organizational or EHR priorities
Preferred:
- Experience working in a startup or early-stage organization
- Bachelor's degree in a related field
- Experience supporting additional clinical applications such as Phreesia
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to travel to clinic sites across Texas as needed
