Biostatistician

The Role
The Biostatistician is the quantitative foundation of the Research & Clinical Impact team. You will help Hi Rasmus evaluate its impact rigorously by designing the methodology, benchmarks, and analytical standards that let us say what our data does, and does not, show, whether the findings are favorable, mixed, or inconclusive.

You will own the statistical methods and analysis behind how Hi Rasmus measures clinical impact across access, learner outcomes, and social validity, working with real-world clinical data from care organizations of every size and model. The Head of Research & Clinical Impact owns the research agenda and the standards for clinical evidence and claims, and you will inform both with what the analyses support. Your work is the rigor that lets what we learn travel credibly into research reports, product decisions, customer conversations, and payer discussions.

This is a senior, hands-on role with real influence, and it is function-building: you will be the first hire on the team, doing the analysis yourself while setting the technical standards others will build on. You will partner closely with the Head of Research & Clinical Impact, Data & Engineering, and Clinical Product Strategy.

What You Will Help Make Possible
Your first-year focus will center on three business outcomes. In partnership with your manager and cross-functional peers, you will translate these into specific targets and operating plans.

Objective 1: Measure Our Clinical Impact Rigorously
We want a clear, consistent way to measure access, learner outcomes, and social validity across very different organizations, including whether outcomes are meaningful to autistic learners, families, and clinicians. You will build the statistical foundation for it.

How we will know it is working:
First 90 days from your start: you have audited our existing outcomes data and documented what it can and cannot support.
Months 3–4: the Head of Research & Clinical Impact defines the clinical-impact framework and the standards for what Hi Rasmus can and cannot responsibly claim, and you take on its statistical methodology as you join.
Months 6–8: benchmarks and interpretation methods are in use across research, Product, and Commercial work.
Month 12: your analysis forms the foundation for the first annual Hi Rasmus Clinical Impact Report.

Objective 2: Build an Evidence Base People Can Trust
Customers, payers, partners, and journal reviewers will judge our evidence by its rigor. You will make sure our studies hold up to that scrutiny and that we report what the evidence supports, including mixed or inconclusive findings, regardless of how it might be used commercially.

How we will know it is working:
Within your first 6 months: reproducible analytic workflows, analysis-plan templates, and data-use standards are in use, built with Data & Engineering and Legal & Compliance.
Ongoing through months 12–18: you have provided the analytic foundation for the strategic evidence assets prioritized by the Head of Research & Clinical Impact, such as peer-reviewed work, white papers, and conference presentations.
Months 12–18: you have helped build the evidence and measurement framework used in our first payer or value-based care initiative, depending on the timing of payer partnerships.

Objective 3: Build a Clinical Measurement Strategy for Product and Value-Based Care
Providers, families, and payers need measures they can trust to show whether care is working. You will build the statistical foundation for those measures, including whether short-term indicators of progress are credible signals of longer-term outcomes, and help turn it into methods that Product and value-based care models can use.

How we will know it is working:
Months 6–12: you have helped define and validate the clinical measurement framework, including how short-term indicators relate to longer-term outcomes, with clear methodology, interpretation standards, and areas that need additional evidence.
Months 12–18: at least one complete, product-ready measurement methodology or framework, such as benchmarks or flagging logic, has gone to Clinical Product Strategy and Product for potential incorporation into Hi Rasmus workflows or value-based care models, depending on their capacity.
Ongoing: you have contributed evidence that strengthens or refines the framework, including the relationship between short-term indicators and longer-term outcomes.

What You Will Own
Methodology & Measurement
Build the statistical methodology behind Hi Rasmus’s clinical-impact framework, including benchmarks and interpretation methods that allow fair comparison of organizations that differ in size and case mix.
Validate how outcomes and social validity are measured, using psychometric methods so our measures reflect what matters to autistic learners, families, and clinicians.
Assess what conclusions the data can support and what additional evidence stronger claims would require, and report this to the Head of Research & Clinical Impact.

Study Design & Analysis
Design and execute analyses of large-scale real-world clinical data, using methods suited to observational data (confounding, missing data, clustered or repeated measures) and testing whether progress is attributable to the care delivered rather than simply associated with it.
Write statistical analysis plans and the analytic sections of protocols, and contribute to prospective studies, partnerships, and IRB submissions.

Clinical Measurement Strategy
Define the statistical relationship between short-term indicators of progress and longer-term outcomes, including whether shorter-term measures are credible leading indicators.
Develop thresholds, flagging or stratification methods, and interpretation methods that identify meaningful patterns in outcomes data, with the Head of Research & Clinical Impact setting the evidence standards.
Provide the statistical specifications Product needs so the Head and Clinical Product Strategy can make product recommendations. You own the methodology, and Product owns implementation and prioritization.

Evidence & Governance
Co-author publications and white papers, and provide the analytic backbone of the annual Hi Rasmus Clinical Impact Report and evidence packages, reporting what the evidence supports, including mixed or inconclusive findings, independent of how it is used commercially.
Contribute data-use standards and the statistical components of research agreements, and advise the Head of Research & Clinical Impact on standards for how findings and claims are used.
