Head of Data Ops & Clinical Architecture

Who We Are

Verily is a subsidiary of Alphabet that is using a data-driven approach to change the way people manage their health and the way healthcare is delivered. Launched from Google X in 2015, our purpose is to bring the promise of precision health to everyone, every day. We are focused on generating and activating data from a variety of sources, including clinical, social, behavioral and the real world, to arrive at the best solutions for a person based on a comprehensive view of the evidence.

Our unique expertise and capabilities in technology, data science and healthcare enable the entire healthcare ecosystem to drive better health outcomes.

Verily is seeking a strategic, clinical-grade operator to lead our Real-World Data (RWD) Operations function. This is a pivotal leadership role responsible for architecting the "Human-in-the-Loop" engine that transforms fragmented, unstructured medical records into regulatory-grade, "Gold Standard" datasets. You will bridge the gap between complex clinical nuance (Hematology, Oncology, Immunology) and technical execution. Your mission is to build a scalable, audit-ready operation that serves as the foundation for Verily’s AI-driven evidence generation.

• Clinical Data Architecture & Governance:
  Define CDD logic, abstraction protocols, and “ground truth” standards while ensuring audit-ready provenance and ontology alignment.
• AI-Enabled HITL Strategy:
  Design high-quality labeling workflows and drive AI-assisted abstraction through close partnership with Data Science and Engineering.
• Product & Tooling Leadership:
  Own the internal tooling roadmap, creating feedback loops to improve efficiency without compromising clinical integrity.
• Vendor & Workforce Strategy:
  Optimize “make vs. buy,” manage vendors against strict KPIs, and lead clinical calibration to ensure consistency.
• Operational Scaling & Economics:
  Own budget and unit economics, reducing cost-per-record while scaling globally across languages and regulatory environments.

• 10+ years of experience in clinical data operations, clinical trial management, or real-world evidence (RWE).
• Deep Clinical Literacy:
  Expert understanding of medical terminology, cancer biology, and diagnostic testing (e.g., NGS, flow cytometry, cytogenetics).
• Systems Thinking:
  Proven track record of scaling operations from pilot to production, specifically managing teams of 50+ or high-stakes clinical vendors.
• Technical Fluency:
  Comfort working with Product/Eng teams and a functional understanding of how manual data fuels AI/ML models.

• Advanced degree (RN, MD, PhD, or MPH) with a focus on clinical informatics or research.
• Direct experience with Oncology data or Hematologic Malignancies.
• Experience in a high-growth "Health-Tech" or "Biotech" environment.
