[Hiring] Biostatistician @Hi Rasmus

Role Description

The Biostatistician is the quantitative foundation of the Research & Clinical Impact team. You will help Hi Rasmus evaluate its impact rigorously by designing the methodology, benchmarks, and analytical standards that let us say what our data does, and does not, show, whether the findings are favorable, mixed, or inconclusive.

You will own the statistical methods and analysis behind how Hi Rasmus measures clinical impact across access, learner outcomes, and social validity, working with real-world clinical data from care organizations of every size and model. The Head of Research & Clinical Impact owns the research agenda and the standards for clinical evidence and claims, and you will inform both with what the analyses support. Your work is the rigor that lets what we learn travel credibly into research reports, product decisions, customer conversations, and payer discussions.

This is a senior, hands-on role with real influence, and it is function-building: you will be the first hire on the team, doing the analysis yourself while setting the technical standards others will build on. You will partner closely with the Head of Research & Clinical Impact, Data & Engineering, and Clinical Product Strategy.

Your first-year focus will center on three business outcomes. In partnership with your manager and cross-functional peers, you will translate these into specific targets and operating plans.

We want a clear, consistent way to measure access, learner outcomes, and social validity across very different organizations, including whether outcomes are meaningful to autistic learners, families, and clinicians. You will build the statistical foundation for it.

• First 90 days: Audit existing outcomes data and document what it can and cannot support.
• Months 3–4: Define the clinical-impact framework and the standards for what Hi Rasmus can and cannot responsibly claim.
• Months 6–8: Benchmarks and interpretation methods in use across research, Product, and Commercial work.
• Month 12: Your analysis forms the foundation for the first annual Hi Rasmus Clinical Impact Report.

Customers, payers, partners, and journal reviewers will judge our evidence by its rigor. You will make sure our studies hold up to that scrutiny and that we report what the evidence supports, including mixed or inconclusive findings, regardless of how it might be used commercially.

• Within your first 6 months: Reproducible analytic workflows, analysis-plan templates, and data-use standards are in use.
• Ongoing through months 12–18: Provide the analytic foundation for strategic evidence assets.
• Months 12–18: Help build the evidence and measurement framework used in our first payer or value-based care initiative.

Providers, families, and payers need measures they can trust to show whether care is working. You will build the statistical foundation for those measures.

• Months 6–12: Define and validate the clinical measurement framework.
• Months 12–18: At least one complete, product-ready measurement methodology or framework has gone to Clinical Product Strategy and Product.
• Ongoing: Contribute evidence that strengthens or refines the framework.

Build the statistical methodology behind Hi Rasmus’s clinical-impact framework, including benchmarks and interpretation methods that allow fair comparison of organizations that differ in size and case mix.

• Validate how outcomes and social validity are measured.
• Assess what conclusions the data can support and what additional evidence stronger claims would require.
• Design and execute analyses of large-scale real-world clinical data.
• Write statistical analysis plans and contribute to prospective studies.
• Define the statistical relationship between short-term indicators of progress and longer-term outcomes.
• Develop thresholds, flagging or stratification methods, and interpretation methods.
• Provide the statistical specifications Product needs.
• Co-author publications and white papers.
• Contribute data-use standards and the statistical components of research agreements.

This role will have the authority to:

• Choose the statistical methods, models, and analytic approaches used in the team’s studies.
• Set the technical standards for how the team’s analyses are documented, reproduced, and reviewed.
• Report what the analyses show to the Head and partner teams.
• Maintain scientific independence.

You will partner closely with:

• Head of Research & Clinical Impact
• Data & Engineering
• Clinical Product Strategy and Product
• Legal & Compliance

Qualifications

• A master’s or doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, public health, quantitative psychology, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience applying statistical methods to real-world or observational data.
• Strong grounding in regression, multilevel and mixed-effects modeling, longitudinal analysis, risk adjustment, and causal-inference methods.
• Experience with psychometric and survey measurement methods.
• Proficiency in R or Python and SQL, version control (such as Git).
• Experience writing statistical analysis plans and contributing to peer-reviewed publications.
• The ability to explain complex statistical findings to non-technical audiences.
• Experience with autism services or applied behavior analysis data.
• Experience with value-based care or healthcare quality measurement.
