Senior Data Scientist at Reify Health

Our unique, rapidly growing data streams are enabling unique opportunities to manage clinical trials more efficiently and predictably. The Data Science & Analytics division is looking for a talented Senior Data Scientist who can help us understand and predict patterns to help research sites and their sponsors plan and manage clinical trials more effectively. If you are empathetic, business-driven, and want to use your data science skills to make a tangible impact in the clinical research community then this may be the role for you.
As a Data Scientist at a fast-growing company, we're looking for people who can effectively balance rapid execution and delivery with innovative data exploration to serve the business most effectively. You have strong opinions, weakly held, and while well-versed technically and mathematically, know when to choose the right technique, for the right job, at the right level of complexity. You will work closely with our other Data, Product, Engineering, and Design groups to help turn targeted R&D around modeling patient, site, sponsor, and clinical logistics behaviors into solutions that can be used to practical benefit.
What You'll Be Working On



Exploring rich historical data from sites, sponsors, and other stakeholders and using it to develop models to help our sponsors make more effective study planning, logistics, and and enrollment management decisions as early as possible
Working with our Data Products division to turn your insights and models into enterprise-ready recommendation systems and other intelligent features for our users
Supporting ways to make protocol feasibility assessments more efficient for novel studies
Becoming intimately familiar with HIPAA, GDPR, and other applicable regulatory and privacy frameworks and how they influence our analytical and model development decisions
Regularly communicating your efforts to the Data Science Lead, Director of Analytics, Head of Data, and other technical/non-technical stakeholders in clear written, verbal, or presentation form
Living our data philosophy, which focuses on ethical decision making, being aware of how biased data (and assumptions) can affect results (and, more importantly, people), and being laser-focused on business needs
