Our mission is to serve cancer patients and our partners by dramatically improving treatment and accelerating research. Our team is building a disruptive, oncology-specific software platform that connects cancer centers across the world on a common technology infrastructure to address key healthcare challenges. We’ve built a unified data-set that is unparalleled in its depth and accuracy and gives our team and our partners the capability to ask questions about data that weren't answerable until now. Our Quantitative Sciences team answers these questions.

We are looking for someone excited to make an immediate impact in a critical space. This position requires leadership, outstanding problem-solving, analytical and communication skills; experience multitasking and prioritizing in a fast-paced environment. You will collaborate with a cross-functional team of account directors, oncologists, product managers, and software engineers to help develop, commercialize, and deliver our analytics products. You will be consistently challenged to partner with Flatiron colleagues to create a rock-solid, scalable analytic foundation for explosive growth.

• Proactively drive the strategic direction and priorities for the Quantitative Sciences team based on Flatiron’s needs
• Support the growth of the Quantitative Sciences team: hire, develop, and mentor team members; participate in the development of processes and best practices for the team; proactively plan for the future by identifying and addressing potential bottlenecks, gaps, and risks as Flatiron continues to grow
• Serve as a trusted expert and advisor on the most complex methodological issues facing Flatiron
• Collaborate with our cross-functional teams to identify additional opportunities that align with Flatiron’s business needs and generate ideas for analyses to shape future projects
• Develop and manage relationships with the external research community. Serve as the scientific point person at client meetings, scientific meetings, and industry events with anticipated travel 20-40%
