Responsibilities
Build the data infrastructure we'll rely on for the next 5 years. Design and implement our data warehouse, establish ETL/ELT pipelines, and create the architecture that turns messy healthcare data into reliable insights. You'll make critical decisions about our stack and set standards that last
Create unified visibility across the patient journey. Stitch together data from clinical systems, product analytics, and marketing/growth tools to build end-to-end views of how patients flow through our experience. Connect the dots between acquisition source, product engagement, clinical outcomes, and retention so we can answer questions like: Which channels bring the highest-value patients? How does app usage correlate with health improvement? Where do we lose people, and why?
Own analytics that drive clinical and business outcomes. Partner directly with clinical ops, product, and leadership to answer questions like: Which interventions improve patient outcomes? Where are bottlenecks in our care delivery? What cohorts should we prioritize? Your analysis will directly inform resource allocation, product roadmap, and clinical protocols
Prepare us for outcomes-based care. Structure and instrument data collection for care plans, clinical workflows, and patient outcomes. Build the data models that let us prove our clinical efficacy and eventually support value-based care contracts
Enable rigorous experimentation and product optimization. Partner with product and growth marketing functions to design and analyze A/B tests that drive confident decision-making. Set up experimentation infrastructure using tools like Amplitude or similar platforms. Ensure we're measuring what matters with proper statistical rigor—from sample size calculations to significance testing to understanding when results are actionable vs. noise
Establish the discipline. Set standards for data quality, documentation, and governance. Make data accessible to non-technical stakeholders while maintaining rigor. Create a culture where decisions are grounded in evidence, not instinct
Scale yourself. Document your work, build tools that empower others, and hire your eventual team. You're not just doing the work—you're establishing how data work gets done here

You have 5+ years combining analytics and engineering—you can write complex SQL, build pipelines in Python or similar, and have strong opinions about data modeling
You've worked with modern data stacks (dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Snowflake, BigQuery, or equivalents) and can evaluate trade-offs between tools
You're fluent in statistics and experimentation
You know how to design and analyze A/B tests properly—power calculations, multiple testing corrections, confidence intervals, statistical significance vs. practical significance
You can both set up the technical infrastructure for experimentation and partner with product teams to interpret results correctly

You've wrestled with identity resolution, attribution models, and connecting behavioral data to business metrics

You communicate insights, not just numbers
You can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
Your dashboards tell stories
Your documentation means the next person can pick up where you left off
You have an ownership mentality
You're energized by autonomy and responsibility

You know when to build custom vs. buy off-the-shelf
You optimize for impact, not elegance
You're comfortable with 80/20 solutions that unlock the next question
