Role Description

Your North Star: Create, analyze, and visualize foundational data that we can use to improve the lives of moms and babies. 

We’re looking to bring on an experienced data scientist to join our growing data team. Trustworthy, actionable data plays a critical role in Pomelo’s mission to improve pregnancy outcomes. As a member of the data team, you will generate data and insights that informs both our business decisions and the care that we deliver to patients. Specifically, you will:

• Become an expert in the data that Pomelo has about our patient care and clinical outcomes, and play a foundational role in building the data culture of Pomelo
• Define the role of data science in key problem areas and own outcomes from scoping and project design to technical implementation and coordination with cross-functional teams on roll-out
• Build data pipelines and dashboards that support teams including Marketing, Clinical, and Partnerships, and enable us to improve and scale the care we provide to patients 
• Develop algorithms to identify high priority patients and guide clinician engagement and interventions 
• Execute analyses to quantify the effectiveness of our clinical program on improving patient outcomes (e.g., reducing the rate at which babies end up in the NICU) 
• Identify opportunities to use data to improve how we provide patient care, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop and implement new tools, models, and processes at the point of care

Who you are

You are a collaborative problem solver and analytic thinker who is focused on driving impact, and excited to work at a startup. Specifically,

• You have 6 years professional experience in data analytics, data science, data engineering, or statistical analysis involving SQL
• You have 3 years professional experience working in healthcare
• Proficient in at least one programming language (e.g., Python)
• Passionate about improving maternal health outcomes 
• Experienced scoping and implementing data-driven solutions to ambiguous problems, prioritizing efficacy over complexity 
• Excited to work cross-functionally across technical and non-technical stakeholders, including folks who do not share your technical expertise
• A strong communicator and a keen nose for value - someone who can easily and quickly understand the needs of different audiences

Bonus points if you have any of the following

• Experience with data dashboarding or visualization (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Metabase) 
• Experience working with dbt

Why you should join our team

By joining Pomelo, you will get in on the ground floor of a fast-moving, well-funded, and mission-driven startup that always puts the patient first. You will learn, grow and be challenged -- and have fun with your team while doing it.

We strive to create an environment where employees from all backgrounds are respected. We also offer:

• Competitive healthcare benefits
• Generous equity compensation
• Unlimited vacation
