About the role

How do you identify patients who could benefit from specialty care support within broad, imperfect healthcare datasets? How do you forecast treatment demand across populations where a small number of patients can drive substantial variation? How do you reliably estimate the savings and impact of a care model when claims arrive late, treatment patterns change, and the alternative course of care isn’t always directly observed? Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You’ve developed statistical or machine learning methods that informed real decisions or became part of operational workflows, and you’ve owned their validation and ongoing performance
  • You’ve worked hands-on with large healthcare datasets, including claims or eligibility data, and understand their coding, timing, completeness, and interpretation challenges
  • You’ve worked with functional leaders to define how outcomes and performance are measured, built a roadmap from their most important questions, and delivered the models, reporting, and quality controls that put it into use
  • You’ve led data scientists or analysts, or built a substantial capability as an early technical hire, and want to remain close to the work
  • You use AI tools effectively while maintaining independent judgment, reproducibility, and appropriate validation
