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 

Responsibilities: 

Key Qualifications

• Master's degree in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, or related quantitative field (PhD a plus).
• 6+ years of experience in statistical methods applied to patient health information, including significant hands-on experience in statistical disclosure control; or demonstrated equivalent competency reflected in an accelerated, documented case history, e.g., independently drafted determinations across multiple data modalities, strong case-defense review performance, and consistent co-signer confidence — for candidates with less tenure but a compressed, high-intensity development trajectory.
• Demonstrated, documentable track record applying de-identification methodology to real datasets.
• Deep experience with at least one non-structured data modality (imaging or clinical notes) in addition to structured EHR/claims data.
• Demonstrated ability to reason across the HIPAA Privacy Rule / Security Rule boundary when estimating risk.
• Excellent written and verbal skills, with demonstrated ability to produce documentation that would stand alone under audit.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior technical staff.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior formal Expert Determination signing experience (internal or as an external consultant/expert witness).
• Experience with analyzing risk across linked data modalities.
• Experience with process Expert Determinations.
• Hands-on experience with SDC tools such as sdcMicro and dynamic/continuously-revalidated risk methodologies.
• Working familiarity with clinical informatics standards (HL7, FHIR, DICOM PS3.15 Annex E).
• Exposure to genomic data privacy considerations (e.g., VCF-level re-identification risk, familial risk, etc.).
• Experience in analyzing Real World Data in a research setting.
• Evidence of participation in publications, studies, or reports.
