Health Informatics Analyst/Clinical Lead

LMI•Tysons, VA

21h•$200,000 - $240,000•Hybrid

About The Position

LMI is seeking a Health Informatics Analyst/Clinical Lead to provide senior clinical integration across Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) modernization initiatives. The role ensures proposed capabilities reflect real care delivery, clinician workflows, operational constraints, human oversight, Veteran safety, and clinically meaningful outcomes. This position follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation of approximately 25% onsite presence at LMI’s Tysons headquarters or Washington, DC. The Health Informatics Analyst/Clinical Lead provides the clinical and operational lens that keeps modernization work grounded in real care delivery. The person in this role must understand how proposed capabilities change decisions, information flow, documentation, handoffs, workload, patient or Veteran safety, and the day-to-day experience of clinicians and support staff. This position requires credibility with clinical stakeholders and enough technical fluency to work productively with designers, analysts, architects, engineers, security teams, and program leaders. The lead does not replace Government clinical authority; instead, the role ensures clinical implications, human oversight, workflow fit, and evidence needs are understood before decisions are made. The lead will also set the standard for how clinical evidence is captured and communicated across the team. This includes coaching analysts, aligning specialty SMEs, and ensuring clinical findings are specific enough to guide design and implementation while remaining clear about where further Government clinical review is required. The ideal candidate has deep clinical informatics credibility, can translate between clinicians and technical teams, and can lead clinical workflow analysis, measurement, pilot design, and implementation guidance while respecting Government clinical decision authority. LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Responsibilities

Validate clinical problem statements, users, care settings, decision points, workflow burden, and intended outcomes.
Assess clinical fit, usability, human oversight, safety, workload, and operational feasibility of proposed solutions.
Define clinically meaningful baselines, measures, data needs, and interpretation guidance with data and evaluation teams.
Guide pilot design under representative workflow conditions and identify adoption barriers or unintended effects.
Bridge clinicians, clinical operations, HCD, data, architecture, engineering, security, and program leadership.
Coach clinical workflow staff and coordinate specialty SMEs when deeper domain expertise is required.
Escalate material clinical workflow, safety, or human-oversight concerns and document the basis for action.
