Project Leader Financial Healthcare Statistics

Do you want to provide direction to financial statistics that matter? As a project leader for financial healthcare statistics, you ensure that reliable figures regarding the healthcare sector become available for policy, science, and society. You combine substantive sharpness with strong project management and easily build connections with colleagues both within and outside your own team, with data providers, and with the important data users and experts in the healthcare field.

Healthcare is constantly in motion, and the availability and affordability of care are under pressure. Consequently, the demand for accurate figures regarding the income, costs, and business results of healthcare providers, as well as insight into general financial developments in healthcare and total healthcare expenditure, is increasing. At the same time, data sources and user requirements are changing, and methods and systems must be adapted accordingly. You ensure that the project team stays on course and that financial healthcare statistics remain future-proof.

You are responsible for the substantive and project-based management of the process surrounding financial healthcare statistics, including European business statistics on healthcare. You guide the entire process: from retrieving register data and maintaining contacts with data providers to the publication of figures on StatLine and the delivery of statistics to internal and external customers. You monitor planning, quality, and coherence, identify risks, and ensure that results are delivered in a timely and careful manner.

Together with the project team, you work on the improvement and innovation of processes. You help the project team make choices: what can be done smarter and where can we deploy our capacity most effectively?

You ensure clear priorities, realistic planning, and good cooperation within the project team. You monitor the quality of the statistical products and make risks, dependencies, and capacity bottlenecks visible in a timely manner.
In doing so, you know when you need to connect, when you need to direct, and when escalation is necessary. You keep an eye on the people in the team as well as on the social value of the work.

You will work in the Health and Care team. This team consists of over 50 enthusiastic colleagues with a passion for care and figures. We produce personal statistics, economic statistics, and business statistics on current themes such as healthcare expenditure, specialized medical care, long-term care, youth care, causes of death, and the labor market in care and welfare.

Your project team consists of approximately 12 researchers and analysts, often with an economic or financial background. They work on socially relevant figures regarding the financial situation in the Dutch healthcare sectors.

You work closely with colleagues both within and outside the team, such as other business statistics teams, colleagues involved with the business register, and data users such as national accounts, but also with external partners, both for coordination regarding the delivery of data and the use of CBS statistics. You provide oversight, make clear agreements, and ensure that the various contributions together lead to reliable and usable CBS publications.
