Role Description

As a Forward Deployed Data Scientist (Healthcare Solutions Lead) in the Healthcare vertical, you will guide prospects and customers through the definition and delivery of healthcare datasets. Your job will be to understand what customers are building, identify the data that best fits their needs, and assemble and QA high-quality samples and final deliveries that meet their technical and conceptual specs. Along the way, you’ll ensure timelines and milestones are clearly communicated from the first stages of feasibility to the final data delivery.

What You Will Own

• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers, building long-term strategic relationships with them via collaboration around data and transparency around its delivery from Protege's network.
• Lead end-to-end program management from data specification and preparation through QA and delivery, ensuring cross-functional coordination and on-time execution.
• Work with Protege data partners to source cutting edge healthcare data into the Protege ecosystem.
• Oversee the QA, packaging, and delivery of complex datasets (EHR, claims, radiology, pathology, unstructured text), ensuring HIPAA compliance in collaboration with privacy partners.

Qualifications

• Proven customer-facing experience: skilled at managing expectations, leading customer conversations, and delivering technical outcomes with clarity and confidence.
• Bring an analyst-first mindset to challenges. You are an expert in using SQL and Python to query data to construct complex patient cohorts, analyze data readiness for model training, validate clinical coverage, and support other customer-specific needs.
• Find satisfaction by bringing order to multiple simultaneous projects and masterfully juggle competing (and sometimes changing) priorities.
• Deep expertise in various healthcare data modalities ranging from EHR, claims, radiology, pathology, and unstructured text.
• Familiarity with privacy-preserving techniques of healthcare data.
• Experience in healthcare AI, ML products, or enterprise data platforms.
• Prior startup experience.
• You treat those around you with kindness.

Benefits

• Be the connective tissue between Protege’s platform, our data, and our customers.
• Build datasets that directly power the next generation of AI models.
• Operate at the cutting edge of multimodal data — where human judgment meets machine intelligence.
