Hospital Health Data Governance Lead (AI Training)

What if your expertise in healthcare data governance could directly shape how AI understands, interprets, and works with clinical and operational health data at scale?

We're partnering with leading AI research teams to build and train cutting-edge models – and we need experienced health data governance professionals to ensure that the healthcare data powering these systems is accurate, trustworthy, compliant, and clinically sound.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. If you've spent years ensuring hospital data meets the highest standards of quality, privacy, and compliance, this is your opportunity to bring that expertise to one of the most consequential frontiers in technology.

About The Role

• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or compliance risks in health data structures and documentation
• Apply your knowledge of clinical, regulatory, and operational healthcare environments to assess data readiness for analytics and AI use
• Collaborate asynchronously with cross-functional teams spanning clinical, technical, and compliance domains

Who You Are

• Experienced in healthcare data governance, clinical data management, or health information operations
• Strong command of healthcare privacy and regulatory frameworks – including HIPAA and related compliance standards
• Able to assess data quality and governance structures across clinical, IT, and administrative contexts
• Detail-oriented and systematic – you know what good health data governance looks like and can spot when it falls short
• Clear and confident written communicator who can document findings and recommendations effectively
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, asynchronous environment

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with data annotation, data quality evaluation, or AI training workflows
• Background in health informatics, clinical documentation improvement, or EHR systems
• Familiarity with data stewardship, master data management, or interoperability standards such as HL7 or FHIR
• Experience working across multidisciplinary healthcare teams – clinical, compliance, and technical

Why Join Us

• Work at the intersection of healthcare expertise and advanced AI development
• Fully remote and flexible – work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, high-impact work
• Gain exposure to large-scale health data systems and frontier AI model training
• Contribute to AI that could meaningfully improve how health data supports patient care and clinical decision-making
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
