Healthcare needs good data. At PicnicHealth, we are building deep real-world datasets to fuel cutting-edge research, while giving patients control of their own medical records data. These complete, clinically-rich datasets produce unique insights across dozens of diseases to ultimately get the right treatments into patients’ hands faster. We do this by working directly with patients and leveraging state of the art machine learning to transform messy medical records into structured, research-ready datasets. To date we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients securely access their records and proactively contribute to advancing research in diseases that impact their lives.  

We’re excited to announce $60 million in funding in a Series C led by B Capital Group. Our existing investors Felicis Ventures and Amplify Partners also joined the round, bringing the total we have raised to more than $100 million.

We are just getting started! If you are looking to join an award winning, mission-driven, motivated team that is making a real impact across millions of people’s lives, PicnicHealth might just be the place for you. 

The Opportunity

PicnicHealth processes tens of thousands of pages of medical records each week using a variety of applications that allow us to communicate with patients, retrieve and label records, and generate high quality datasets. We also engage with patient communities to understand more about their care journey and to get our product into the hands of those excited to participate in research. In this context, our ability to measure, analyze, and strategically act on data is critical to the company’s success. 

We are looking for a Head of Data Science & Analytics to drive impact and direction for our budding team. You will lead a team initially composed of 2-3 data scientists and analysts, and act at the outset as a player/coach while developing a vision for the future of analytics at PicnicHealth. You will collaborate closely with data engineering, operations, and our product squads to shape decision making across the company and be responsible for hands-on analysis, for producing forward-looking frameworks that quantify any and all aspects of PicnicHealth’s business, and for helping design the infrastructure needed to make quick, easy analysis possible for others. Your contributions will impact company strategy, foster a culture of excellence,  and solidify an analytics practice that can scale with company needs. You should be proficient in the tools of the trade, from basic spreadsheet and SQL modeling and data visualization, to advanced statistics, data pipelines (e.g. built using dbt, Airflow, and Python), and business intelligence tooling. As a leader, you should have significant experience with people management, planning, and strategy.

As Head of Data Science & Analytics, you will be responsible for:

• Managing a small team of data analysts;
• Modeling business processes and influencing decision making;
• Producing long-term roadmaps, rituals, and resourcing plans for Data Science & Analytics at PicnicHealth;
• Working with data engineers to shape infrastructure that makes analysis simple and repeatable;
• Working with leaders across the company to define analytical needs and prioritize capacity; and

• Continuing to build a world-class team by attracting, interviewing, and onboarding your future team members during this exciting time of growth.

You are a great fit if you:

• Have 7+ years of full-time work experience as a data analyst or data scientist that includes 3+ years of people management;
• Love diving into complex business processes and finding ways to accurately model them;
• Are a clear and detailed communicator about your work, design, and tradeoff decisions;
• Are driven to work on high impact (ROI) projects and thrive in a fast-paced environment; and
• Are excited to manage, mentor, and grow a cohesive, collaborative team.

We expect all team members to be motivated to be amazing in their roles and, ultimately, to move the PicnicHealth mission forward.
