Senior Clinical Informaticist
About the role
Overview
Verantos is the global leader in high-validity real-world evidence (RWE) for life sciences. By incorporating robust clinical narrative data, artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and measured validity, Verantos is the first company to generate research-grade evidence at scale across therapeutic areas.
The Verantos Evidence Platform integrates heterogeneous real-world data sources and generates evidence with the accuracy required for market access, health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), medical affairs, and regulatory use. Leveraging data science, AI, and advanced data sources such as electronic health records (EHRs), the platform supports complex clinical studies across multiple therapeutic areas.
As a Senior Clinical Informaticist, you will help shape how clinical data is transformed and made usable for research by leading efforts in knowledge management, semantic normalization, and data quality. You will collaborate with clinicians, scientists, data scientists, product managers, and engineers to define scalable approaches for mapping clinical concepts, identify where and how key concepts can be captured, develop concept lists for cohort creation, and design clinical data quality checks to ensure datasets meet clinical expectations.
Your work will directly support high-impact research by ensuring that the right concepts are captured, standardized, and accessible across diverse data sources.
