Clinical Data Quality Lead
About The Position
As Clinical Data Quality Lead, you will manage a team of Clinical Data Quality Managers and own the clinical integrity, consistency, and validity of all data collected across our non-interventional study portfolio. This will span data collected from medical records and primary data sources (e.g, patient-reported outcomes and virtual clinical assessments). This team of clinical data quality specialists defines how data should be collected for each study to ensure high quality, monitors quality and accuracy during data collection, and implements changes as needed throughout the study. This role bridges clinical insight, data quality strategy, and operational execution. You will define, monitor, and continuously improve how PicnicHealth ensures that its AI-powered research platform delivers trusted study datasets. You’ll collaborate closely with Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Data Management, Medical and Product teams to shape data standards and quality processes that scale. At PicnicHealth, AI is at the core of everything we do. We're looking for individuals who are not just comfortable with, but genuinely excited by and actively experimenting with, the power and potential of AI.
