About The Position

Verana Health is a digital health company focused on delivering quality drug lifecycle and medical practice insights from a real-world data network. The company recently secured significant Series E funding. Verana Health is driven to create quality real-world data in ophthalmology, neurology, urology, and oncology to accelerate insights and advance patient care. The company culture is defined by DRIVE: Diversity, Responsibility, Integrity, Voice-of-Customer, and End-Results. The headquarters are in San Francisco, with additional offices in Knoxville, TN, and New York City. Employees can work remotely in various states, and permanent residency in one of these states is required. Candidates willing to relocate are encouraged to apply. Priority consideration will be given to candidates based in the Bay Area, New York City, and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the position will follow a hybrid work model (3 days in office, remaining days remote). Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship. This role involves leading the application of Machine Learning to transform clinical data into scalable healthcare data products. The Senior Director will report directly to the Chief Data & Science Officer and address complex real-world problems across therapeutic areas like urology, ophthalmology, and oncology. The team develops machine learning systems using structured and unstructured electronic health record (EHR) data, including clinical text and imaging data, to support Verana Qdata® products and real-world insight generation. Key activities include algorithm development, data pre- and post-processing, code implementation, modeling, inference, and interpretation. This role is crucial for ensuring data products are generated with fit-for-purpose approaches and meet quality requirements. The Senior Director will oversee a team working with heterogeneous clinical datasets from EHR systems and imaging workflows, emphasizing validation, explainability, and scientific quality. The Data & Science team aims to improve patient care by advancing the use of real-world clinical data, machine learning, and clinical expertise. This position is ideal for a leader who can translate machine learning advances into reliable, clinically meaningful systems for real-world healthcare environments.
