About the Role

You will be the dedicated product partner for the Data Science team and its initiatives across Datavant.

Evangelize data science wins and capabilities, remove roadblocks, and articulate the impact of DS initiatives.
• Be customer-focused: Obsess about identifying and solving high-value problems for internal stakeholders (Engineering, Product, Business Units) and external partners through the thoughtful application of data science. Collaborate closely with Data Science and Engineering teams to define, develop, and ship impactful models, features, and platforms that drive measurable business outcomes.

About You

• You have 5+ years in a product management, product strategy, or engineering ideally working in a healthcare (or a similar industry) where security / compliance play a major role in how things get designed & developed
• You are technical. When needed, you aren't afraid to dive into the code to better understand what is going on. While you may not be evaluating the algorithms, we might find you deep in a notebook analyzing data, helping with EDA or finding the next opportunity for the team. 
• You are highly organized and have strong project management skills: others are confident in a project’s outcome when they know you’re owning it. 
• You have high bandwidth and high productivity: others wonder where you find time to do all you do. Your secret is that you are quick to understand, formulate and respond.
• You write exceptional documents, presentations, diagrams, and mockups. Your documentation leads to discussions about the content, not about what is intended.
