- Build the clinical data feature store, establishing standards, documentation, and best practices that accelerate adoption of clinical data for downstream analytics, reporting, and AI/ML use cases.
- Develop analytics by building well-documented, validated, and reusable data assets (tables, views, features) that empower analysts and data scientists to work independently with clinical data.
- Create and maintain comprehensive data documentation, including data dictionaries, lineage, business logic, known limitations, and appropriate use guidelines for clinical datasets.
- Build queries, dashboards, and data visualizations to effectively communicate data quality metrics, data availability, and clinical insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Translate clinical concepts into analytical frameworks, ensuring that business partners understand the capabilities and limitations of available clinical data.
- Collaborate with data engineering teams to inform data pipeline development, ensuring clinical data is ingested, transformed, and stored in ways that support downstream analytics needs.
- Learn data governance practices, including compliance with HIPAA, data privacy regulations, and internal data stewardship policies.
- Stay current with clinical data standards (HL7, FHIR, ICD-10, SNOMED-CT, LOINC, CPT, NDC, RxNorm) and industry best practices in clinical informatics.
Required Qualifications - 2+ years of relevant experience in clinical informatics, healthcare analytics, or clinical data management.
- Familiar with clinical data types and structures, including CCD data, lab results, clinical notes, and administrative healthcare data.
- Knowledge of clinical coding systems and terminologies, such as ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, SNOMED-CT, LOINC, NDC, and RxNorm.
- Ability to support downstream data consumers (analysts, data scientists, business users) through documentation, training, and consultative support.
- Proficiency with SQL and experience working with large-scale healthcare datasets.

- Understanding of data quality principles, including validation, profiling, and monitoring of healthcare data.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex clinical data concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications - Healthcare data platform experience with strong understanding of interoperability standards and harmonization at scale (OMOP/CCDA/FHIR)
- Familiarity with clinical workflows and HIEs.
- Experience using standardized clinical code systems (e.g., ICD-10, SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, UMLS) and their application within common data models (e.g., OMOP).
- Experience in ETL design & implementation from heterogeneous clinical sources into different data standards preferably into the OMOP CDM.
- Experience designing and implementing data quality frameworks, preferred to have experience with tools like Achilles, Data Quality Dashboard (DQDB), or equivalent custom frameworks.
- Privacy, security, and compliance: HIPAA/HITRUST experience, de-identification/tokenization, PHI handling, and data access controls (column-level, row-level security).
Education - Bachelor's degree in health informatics, Public Health, Nursing, Health Information Management, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative or clinical field-or an equivalent combination of formal education and experience.
- Master's degree or higher in Health Informatics, Biomedical Informatics, Clinical Informatics, Public Health, Epidemiology, or a related field is strongly preferred.
- Clinical background (RN, PharmD, MD, or similar) with transition into informatics/analytics is highly valued.
