The Role

As a Data Scientist on the Link Key Accounts team, you'll build the models and methodologies that turn multi-source healthcare data into reliable intelligence about healthcare organizations, their networks, and the people who make decisions inside them. The work spans both ends of the spectrum: quantitative analysis of claims and financial data, and qualitative inference — building org charts and mapping influence from titles, roles, and other soft signals. This is an early, high-latitude role with room to shape both the methods and the product.
What You'll Do
    • Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to healthcare claims and other structured data to build new metrics and methodologies — for example, calculating readmissions and average length of stay across varied claims sources, producing all-payer estimates, and developing clinical ontologies
    • Transform public financial data into clear signals and a coherent story about the financial health of healthcare organizations 
    • Build entity resolution and record-linkage models across health systems, provider organizations, employers, and payers
    • Develop affiliation and network mapping — inferring how organizations and people connect, and how influence and reporting structures flow across them
    • Infer organizational structure from qualitative signals, building org charts and decision-maker maps from titles, positions, and role characteristics
    • Design data-sourcing methodologies that evaluate, score, and combine heterogeneous inputs (public filings, web sources, licensed data) into accurate, defensible account signals
    • Build the models that power account targeting and segmentation — deciling, patient-volume and disease-state signals, strategic filters
    • Partner with Product, Data Engineering, Engineering, and QA to take solutions from prototype to production, then iterate and enhance
Requirements
    • 5+ years of hands-on data science and statistics experience
    • 5+ years working with healthcare data and the US healthcare system
    • Experience with healthcare claims data (medical and/or pharmacy) and the metrics derived from it
    • Experience with healthcare organizational data (HCO/HCP, IDN, GPO, payer)
    • Experience developing clinical ontologies or standardized healthcare data models
    • Experience with entity resolution, record linkage, or fuzzy matching on real-world, imperfect data
    • Track record of inferring structure from noisy, incomplete data -  cleansing, experiment design, solution assessment, and scaling
    • Comfortable with ambiguity and turning goals into tangible work plans
    • Able to explain statistical and technical concepts to audiences of varying technical depth
Nice to Have
    • M.S. in Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or another quantitative discipline

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

At Veeva, we believe in giving back. Veeva’s support for charitable causes is entirely employee driven because we think giving is personal and should be directed by the individual. With our 1% Veeva Giving program, each employee receives an amount equivalent to 1% of their base salary annually to support the non-profit(s) of their choice. We don’t dictate favored corporate causes or ask employees to donate to specific non-profits. We never support a charitable cause in exchange for commercial advantage or preferential treatment.

Veeva’s core values — do the right thing, customer success, employee success, and speed — guide our decision making and define our culture. Doing the right thing means that we are concerned about more than just financial success and return to shareholders. We recognize a responsibility to customers, employees, environment, and society.As individuals, we pride ourselves on being good people who are honest, fair, and direct. We treat others with respect. As a company, we strive to be a good corporate citizen, a positive force in the business community, active in our communities, and an example to others.

Our equity program is designed to enable the vast majority of our employees to participate. Our unique approach to awarding equity grants allows our employees to be shareholders so they can benefit financially in the company’s growth.

Veeva has taken a strong stance against the use of non-compete agreements that can limit employee opportunities. We do not require our employees to sign non-compete agreements, and we have taken legal action to fight the unfair use of these agreements by other companies because we believe such agreements limit an employee’s fundamental right to work where they choose. We believe in our people and want them to be successful here at Veeva or wherever their careers take them.
