[Hiring] VP of Implementation @Network Bio

Role Description

Network Bio is seeking a VP of Implementation to lead the company's execution of hospital data acquisition and clinical data operations. This role owns the day-to-day and quarter-to-quarter work of getting Network Bio into hospital environments, securing compliant access to clinical data — including sensitive information like physician notes — and standing up the pipelines and processes that turn that access into usable data.

This is a hands-on operating leadership role. The VP of Implementation reports to the Chief Business Officer, translating company-level strategy into concrete hospital relationships, integration projects, and delivery timelines — running point on individual hospital relationships, managing the technical integration work, and ensuring every engagement is executed compliantly and securely.

This is an individual contributor role today, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the function grows. The VP of Implementation will personally drive execution across every workstream — hospital relationships, infrastructure, contracting, coding, and data processing — while establishing the foundation for that team.

The ideal candidate has done this work before inside an EMR-adjacent or health-data organization and knows firsthand what it takes to earn a hospital's trust, get through their compliance and legal review, and stand up a durable data pipeline afterward.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in health data, clinical informatics, EMR/health IT, or health data interoperability, including experience leading implementation, integration, or account/relationship teams.
• Direct, hands-on experience getting hospitals live on a data-sharing or integration project — from first contact through signed agreement to production data flow.
• Strong relationship-building skills with hospital IT, compliance, and operational stakeholders — comfortable being the steady, trusted operator a hospital deals with day to day.
• Solid working knowledge of HIPAA, PHI handling, data use agreements, and BAAs, and how those translate into technical implementation requirements.
• Comfort with simple, secure file-based data transfer methods; deep experience with EHR interoperability standards (HL7, FHIR, CCDA) is not required.
• Comfort with infrastructure: cloud deployments and Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code, across both a TRE and a standalone (NewCo) environment.
• Hands-on coding ability (e.g., SQL for feasibility queries, Python for data processing).
• Experience handling unstructured clinical data (e.g., physician notes) as part of an implementation is a strong plus.
• Prior experience at an EMR-adjacent company, health data spinout, HIE, CRO, or similar organization is a plus.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable operating as a hands-on individual contributor today, with the drive to build and eventually lead a team as the function grows.

Requirements

• Serve as Network Bio's primary point of contact for assigned hospital and health system partners — IT leadership, compliance/privacy officers, and operational stakeholders.
• Lead individual data access negotiations from first conversation through signed agreement and live data flow, in partnership with legal.
• Maintain and grow existing hospital relationships to expand data scope and depth.
• Act as the credible, trusted operator hospitals rely on to deliver on commitments made at the strategic level.
• Run the end-to-end implementation of data connections to hospital and health system partners.
• Determine and execute the right technical pathway for each partner.
• Manage integration project timelines, technical troubleshooting, and coordination between Network Bio's engineering team and hospital IT teams.
• Own infrastructure across both the Trusted Research Environment (TRE) and NewCo environments.
• Write and maintain Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to provision and manage infrastructure.
• Ensure every implementation meets HIPAA, HITECH, applicable state privacy law, and specific data governance requirements.
• Review contracts and statements of work (SOWs) directly, in partnership with legal.
• Operationalize data use agreements and BAAs.
• Apply and enforce Network Bio's data handling standards on every project.
• Write the code and perform the data processing needed to ingest, normalize, and validate incoming clinical data from each hospital source.
• Identify and resolve data quality, mapping, and structural issues unique to each hospital's EMR configuration.
• Develop repeatable playbooks and processes for faster, more predictable, and lower-risk hospital implementations.
• Report implementation status, risks, and pipeline health to the Chief Business Officer and executive leadership on a regular cadence.

Benefits

• Opportunity to build and lead a team as the function grows.
• Hands-on operating leadership role.
• Ability to drive execution across multiple workstreams.
