Verily
Director, Clinical Data Architecture & RWD Operations
This role leads the Real-World Data (RWD) Operations function, architecting the 'Human-in-the-Loop' engine to transform fragmented, unstructured medical records into regulatory-grade datasets. The position bridges clinical nuance in Hematology, Oncology, and Immunology with technical execution to build a scalable, audit-ready operation foundational to AI-driven evidence generation.
Key Responsibilities
- • Clinical Data Architecture & Governance
- • Define the Logic: Act as the primary architect of the Clinical Data Dictionary (CDD) and abstraction protocols, defining clinical rules for 'Ground Truth,' resolving complex edge cases, and establishing logic for 'inconclusive' or disparate clinical results.
- • Audit-Ready Provenance: Establish and maintain a rigorous Quality Management System (QMS) ensuring every data point has a verifiable audit trail meeting FDA/EMA submission standards.
- • Ontology Leadership: Drive standardization of unstructured data into global clinical ontologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, HGNC) to ensure data is research-ready and interoperable.
- • AI-Enabled 'Human-in-the-Loop' (HITL) Strategy
- • Ground-Truth Engineering: Partner with Research and Data Science teams to design high-fidelity labeling tasks for training, validating, and tuning machine learning models.
- • Product Feedback Loop: Lead stakeholder for Internal Product and Engineering teams, defining roadmap for internal tooling and identifying AI-assisted 'pre-abstraction' opportunities.
- • Strategic Vendor & Workforce Management
- • 'Make vs. Buy' Stewardship: Own unit economics of data generation, evaluating ROI of clinical vendor experts versus internal or offshore teams.
- • Vendor Accountability: Manage external Abstraction Vendors against KPIs including ≥98% Accuracy, ≥95% Inter-Abstractor Reliability, and ≥99% Completeness.
- • Clinical Calibration: Lead regular 'Clinical Reconciliation' sessions with vendors to resolve data discrepancies and align external judgment with standards.
- • Operational Scaling & Unit Economics
- • P&L Ownership: Manage budget for RWD abstraction function, focusing on reducing 'Cost-per-Patient-Record' while maintaining 'Gold Standard' quality.
- • Global Expansion: Design operational blueprint for scaling beyond US-English EHRs, addressing multi-language abstraction and international regulatory environments.
Required
- • 10+ years of experience in clinical data operations, clinical trial management, or real-world evidence (RWE).
- • Deep Clinical Literacy: Expert understanding of medical terminology, cancer biology, and diagnostic testing (e.g., NGS, flow cytometry, cytogenetics).
- • Systems Thinking: Proven track record of scaling operations from pilot to production, managing teams of 50+ or high-stakes clinical vendors.
- • Technical Fluency: Comfort working with Product/Eng teams and a functional understanding of how manual data fuels AI/ML models.
Preferred
- • Advanced degree (RN, MD, PhD, or MPH) with a focus on clinical informatics or research.
- • Direct experience with Oncology data or Hematologic Malignancies.
- • Experience in a high-growth 'Health-Tech' or 'Biotech' environment.
