Principal Privacy Biostatistician - Risk Analytics

Senior Privacy Biostatistician - Risk Analytics Truveta is the world’s first health provider led data platform with a vision of Saving Lives with Data. Our mission is to enable researchers to find cures faster, empower every clinician to be an expert, and help families make the most informed decisions about their care. Achieving Truveta’s ambitious vision requires an incredible team of talented and inspired people with a special combination of health, software and big data experience who share our company values . This position is based out of our headquarters in the Greater Seattle area. #LI-remote Who We Need We're looking for a principal-level statistical privacy expert who sets the direction for disclosure risk strategy across Truveta's entire data platform — structured, imaging, clinical notes, and emerging areas like genomic data — and who already holds the judgment, track record, and credibility to sign Expert Determinations under HIPAA. Beyond deep technical mastery, we're seeking a recognized leader who defines the methodological standards others follow, serves as the final technical authority on the most complex and novel determinations, develops senior and junior team members toward independent signing authority, and represents Truveta's privacy rigor to health system partners, customers, regulators, and the broader scientific community. This Opportunity The Principal Privacy Biostatistician reports to the Senior Director of Risk Analytics and serves as the senior technical authority for statistical disclosure control across Truveta. This individual owns the de-identification methodology framework for the platform, signs Expert Determinations under 45 CFR §164.514(b)(1) for the highest-complexity, highest-visibility, and first-of-their-kind data products, and acts as the final reviewer and co-signer for determinations prepared by other members of the team. There is no professional license or certification that confers this signing authority — it is earned through demonstrated, documented judgment, expertise and experience. This role is designed for someone who already holds that track record, has defended their determinations under scrutiny, and is ready to shape how the organization exercises that authority at scale. Responsibilities: • Set the vision and own the end-to-end statistical disclosure control framework for Truveta's data platform, defining the methodological standards, risk thresholds, and documentation requirements used by the entire Risk Analytics team. • Serve as a signing Expert Determiner for the most complex, novel, and high-visibility data products, applying generally accepted statistical and scientific principles to determine that re-identification risk is "very small," and documenting the reasoning to a standard that stands on its own under audit, regulatory review, or legal challenge. • Act as the final technical reviewer and co-signer for Expert Determinations prepared by Senior and staff Privacy Biostatisticians; establish and run the peer review and case-defense process that governs the team's signing authority. • Lead the development of risk methodology for new and emerging data modalities (e.g., genomic data, linked multi-modality data, and AI/ML-derived data products), partnering with clinical informatics, Legal, and Product to define Truveta's approach before these products go to market. • Own and continuously evolve profile-level risk justification methodology — dynamic k-anonymity thresholds, quasi-identifier importance ranking, suppression hierarchies, drift-triggered re-determination thresholds, and process-level Expert Determinations — ensuring it scales with platform growth. • Integrate Truveta's HIPAA Security Rule posture into Privacy Rule risk determinations; partner
