Who We Need
We're looking for a senior statistical privacy expert who can independently lead disclosure risk strategy across increasingly complex data modalities: structured, imaging, clinical notes, and emerging areas like genomic data, and who can build toward (or already holds) the judgment and track record required to sign Expert Determinations under HIPAA. Beyond core technical capability, we're seeking someone who can mentor junior team members, set methodological standards, and represent Truveta's privacy rigor to partners and regulators.
This Opportunity
The Sr. Privacy Biostatistician reports to the Senior Director of Risk Analytics and independently leads statistical disclosure control strategy for complex, high-visibility, and novel-modality data products; and, where individually qualified, signs Expert Determinations under 45 CFR §164.514(b)(1).
There is no professional license or certification that confers this signing authority; it is earned through demonstrated, documented judgment, expertise and experience. This role is designed for someone who already has (or is very close to having) that track record.
