Flatiron Health's Research organization was started in 2014 with the goal of serving cancer patients by accelerating research. We believe that existing clinical research paradigms are ill-equipped to answer the research questions that face drug developers, academic researchers, and regulators in the oncology space today. By focusing on technology solutions that can be deployed widely across the Flatiron network of providers, Flatiron has the opportunity to generate insights that were previously impossible.

Flatiron Research is focused on innovating in the Real-World Evidence (RWE) space. Our technology-first approach has allowed us to build RWE data sets with higher quality, accuracy, recency, and scale than any other data set that is available. We have active partnerships with top-tier academic medical centers, 12 of the top 13 oncology biopharma companies, and the FDA, all focused on using RWE to answer critical questions quickly and safely.

Our Research Operations team is looking for a Director who will manage a team that leads client-facing as well as internal projects using Flatiron’s proprietary RWE data and analytics platform. In this role, you will think about how to how to strategically grow our market-leading Real World Evidence outcomes research business, while helping your team through scoping, executing and delivering these projects end-to-end. You will engage with clients and work cross-functionally with our Life Sciences Partnerships, Research Oncology, Clinical Data Abstraction, Product, Engineering, and Quantitative Sciences teams to drive the outcomes research business, while scaling Flatiron’s long-term research offerings.
