About The Position

PulsePoint is a fast-growing healthcare technology company (with adtech roots) using real-time data to transform healthcare. We help brands and agencies interpret the hard-to-read signals across the health journey and unify these digital determinants of health with real-world data to produce the most dimensional view of the customer. Our award-winning advertising platforms use machine learning and programmatic automation to seamlessly activate this data, making marketing, predictive analytics, and decision support easy and instantaneous. Our Data & Analytics team is at the very heart of what makes PulsePoint an innovative, fast-paced and market-changing company. Our path forward is through data, and this team is in the driver’s seat for the journey. We’re looking for a senior, opinionated thought leader to serve as Director of Data Strategy & Solutions. Someone who will own and drive PulsePoint’s data strategy roadmap, forge the data partnerships that power our platform, and envision the next generation of AI-driven data products.
