The Director of Data Solutions is the senior technical delivery leader for data platforms, AI/ML solutions (including GenAI), and advanced modeling/simulation capabilities. This leader owns the "how and when" of building reusable, enterprise-grade capabilities that turn complex, multi‑modal data into trusted products and measurable outcomes.

In practice, this role:

Sets technical strategy and reference architecture across modern data stacks and cloud environments.
Leads cross-functional teams (data engineering, ML engineering, applied science, software engineering) to ship and operate production systems.
Establishes an organization-wide modeling and simulation practice that ensures reproducibility, compute strategy, and strong quality standards.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Technical strategy & architecture

Define reference architectures and technical standards for data/AI platforms (security, scalability, reliability, cost governance, developer experience).
Own platform modernization plans and technical debt reduction sequencing.
Make build/buy/partner decisions and establish patterns that can be reused across programs.

Interoperability, harmonization & data quality

Lead delivery of repeatable ingestion and transformation pipelines with testing, validation, and change control.
Own harmonization capabilities (terminology translation, unit normalization, episode building) as production services with documentation and quality dashboards.
Partner with governance and stakeholders to define "minimum acceptable quality" and publish transparent quality measures.

AI/ML and GenAI solution delivery

Lead delivery of production AI/ML solutions (NLP, CV, predictive models, representation learning) and deploy them with evaluation and monitoring.
Own GenAI patterns and platforms (RAG, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop review, traceability, privacy safeguards) as reusable services.
Establish model lifecycle governance: approvals, audits (as needed), drift monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement.

Real‑world evidence enablement engines

Build reusable "engines" for RWE execution: cohorting/phenotyping pipelines, reproducible protocol templates, causal inference/target trial tooling patterns, and integration templates for multiple data sources.
Staff and support analysis pods for time-sensitive, high-stakes deliverables with rigorous QC and reproducibility practices.

Simulations & modeling practice leadership

Define the modeling/simulation practice charter: scope, service model, standards, compute strategy (HPC/cloud), and hiring/partnering plan.
Lead simulation/modeling teams directly or via domain SMEs; ensure reproducible workflows and high quality bars.
Identify and prioritize high-value hybrid ML+simulation opportunities.

Privacy, security & operational excellence

Partner with security/privacy to implement strong access controls, auditability, and (where needed) privacy-preserving approaches.
Establish operational excellence: release management, observability, on-call/incident processes (as appropriate), and runbooks.

People leadership & culture

Hire, grow, and retain a high-performing organization; create clear roles, career paths, and performance expectations.
Build a culture of "research-grade rigor + production-grade discipline," emphasizing accountability, documentation, and sustainability.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

6+ years in data science, ML engineering, data platform engineering, applied research engineering, or closely related fields
3+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams.
Demonstrated success delivering production data/AI platforms (not only analyses), including architecture, delivery planning, and operational ownership.
Strong familiarity with modern data stacks and cloud delivery (distributed compute, ETL/ELT, data quality tooling, MLOps/LLMOps concepts).
Ability to translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into shipped products and measurable outcomes.
Strong people leadership: recruiting, coaching, performance management, org design.
Comfort operating in regulated and high-governance environments (privacy, compliance, access control).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Healthcare data platform experience, especially interoperability/harmonization at scale (OMOP/FHIR/PCORNet/CDISC) and clinical terminology systems.
Experience shipping GenAI solutions with governance (PII handling, traceability, human review, evaluation, monitoring).
Experience with privacy-preserving ML patterns (federated learning/inference) and/or sensitive data platforms.
Experience leading simulation/modeling initiatives (scientific computing, HPC workflows, domain simulations) and partnering effectively with scientific SMEs.
Track record of publications, open-source leadership, or scientific impact.
