The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in causal inference methodologies, observational healthcare data, and advanced statistical modeling, with the ability to independently lead a high-impact analytical initiative. This position offers significant flexibility, beginning at approximately 10–15 hours per week, with the opportunity to ramp up hours as the project progresses.

• Demonstrated expertise in causal inference and observational study design.
• Proven experience evaluating healthcare interventions and measuring clinical outcomes.
• Strong proficiency in Python, R, and SQL.
• Experience analyzing large-scale healthcare claims and EHR datasets.
• Deep understanding of propensity score matching, quasi-experimental research methodologies, statistical validation, and confounding adjustment.
• Ability to independently design and execute technically sophisticated analytical studies.
• Experience developing statistical methodologies suitable for rigorous clinical, actuarial, or external stakeholder review.
• Strong understanding of healthcare data privacy, HIPAA, and protected health information requirements.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present complex findings to nontechnical stakeholders.
• Advanced degree in Statistics, Data Science, Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Economics, or a closely related quantitative discipline.

Requirements

• Previous experience as a Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) Consultant, Principal Data Scientist, or Lead Biostatistician.
• Experience evaluating chronic care management, population health, value-based care, or Medicare-related programs.
• Familiarity with APCM, CCM, and healthcare reimbursement models.
• Experience working with healthcare actuaries or validating analytical methodologies for actuarial review.
• Knowledge of dbt, Amazon Redshift, and Looker.
• Experience supporting health-tech startups or rapidly growing healthcare technology companies.
• Strong consulting background with the ability to deliver results independently.
• Experience developing executive-level clinical outcomes presentations and client-facing research reports.

Benefits

• Hourly Rate: $150 per hour.
• Engagement Type: 1099 independent contractor or W-2 contract.
• Initial Commitment: Approximately 10–15 hours per week.
