The Opportunity 

This is a hands-on role, driving data strategy for our rapidly growing organization. We need someone who can accelerate our data capabilities and build the foundation that takes us to the next stage of growth.

You'll own our analytics systems, establish data practices that scale, and prepare us for a future where structured care plan data and outcomes measurement are core to our competitive advantage. If you've been waiting for the opportunity to shape a data organization rather than inherit one, this is it, as you’ll have a tremendous opportunity to grow with Allara and leverage our unique and vast dataset. 

Location: Hybrid (NYC). We value in-person collaboration and aim for at least three days per week in our NYC office, with flexibility as needed.

What you’ll do:

• Create unified visibility across the patient journey. Stitch together data from clinical systems, product analytics, and marketing/growth tools to build end-to-end views of how patients flow through our experience. Connect the dots between acquisition source, product engagement, clinical outcomes, and retention so we can answer questions like: Which channels bring the highest-value patients? How does app usage correlate with health improvement? Where do we lose people, and why?
• Own analytics that drive clinical and business outcomes. Partner directly with clinical ops, product, and leadership to answer questions like: Which interventions improve patient outcomes? Where are bottlenecks in our care delivery? What cohorts should we prioritize? Your analysis will directly inform resource allocation, product roadmap, and clinical protocols.
• Prepare us for outcomes-based care. Structure and instrument data collection for care plans, clinical workflows, and patient outcomes. Build the data models that let us prove our clinical efficacy and eventually support value-based care contracts.
• Enable rigorous experimentation and product optimization. Partner with product and growth marketing functions to design and analyze A/B tests that drive confident decision-making. Set up experimentation infrastructure using tools like Amplitude or similar platforms. Ensure we're measuring what matters with proper statistical rigor—from sample size calculations to significance testing to understanding when results are actionable vs. noise.
• Establish the discipline. Set standards for data quality, documentation, and governance. Make data accessible to non-technical stakeholders while maintaining rigor. Create a culture where decisions are grounded in evidence, not instinct.
• Scale yourself. Document your work, build tools that empower others, and hire your eventual team. You're not just doing the work—you're establishing how data work gets done here.

Who you are:

• You're fluent in statistics and experimentation. You know how to design and analyze A/B tests properly—power calculations, multiple testing corrections, confidence intervals, statistical significance vs. practical significance. You can both set up the technical infrastructure for experimentation and partner with product teams to interpret results correctly.
• You've connected the full funnel. You have hands-on experience building analytics that span acquisition, product engagement, and downstream outcomes. You've wrestled with identity resolution, attribution models, and connecting behavioral data to business metrics. You know how to create coherent narratives from fragmented data sources.
• You translate ambiguity into action. You're comfortable when the question is "what should we know?" rather than "pull this metric." You probe stakeholder requests, identify the real question underneath, and deliver insights that change decisions.
• You care about healthcare. Experience in healthcare or similarly regulated industries is strongly preferred. You understand why HIPAA matters, what clinical outcomes mean, and why data quality isn't negotiable when patients are involved.
• You communicate insights, not just numbers. You can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences. Your dashboards tell stories. Your documentation means the next person can pick up where you left off.
• You have an ownership mentality. You're energized by autonomy and responsibility. You ship incrementally rather than waiting for perfection. When something breaks, you fix it. When something's missing, you build it.
• You're pragmatic about scope. You know when to build custom vs. buy off-the-shelf. You optimize for impact, not elegance. You're comfortable with 80/20 solutions that unlock the next question.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing experimentation platforms (Amplitude Experiment, Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, or similar)
• Background with clinical data standards (HL7, FHIR) or outcomes research
• Experience in consumer health, digital health, or health tech environments
• Early-stage startup experience where you wore multiple hats
• Experience working with LLMs, and with key concepts such as fine-tuning, RAG, MCP, etc.
