Services Data Lead

• Expect a short paid work sample. We'll share some real-world examples of what we're working to solve for.

• Reports to the VP of Product.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Steward and evolve the services data schema & taxonomy. It's poised to expand and change. You'll provide input about what to add, what to shift, and what these changes costs us to source and maintain - with judgment about how the data actually gets consumed downstream.

• Own and iterate the curation pipeline. Sourcing, screening, and tagging. Make it better, faster, and (with the help of our engineering team) more automated.

• Direct a small bench of data specialists. Set the quality bar, write the SOPs, and oversee the team to build out a substantial batch of services.

• Work at the nexus of design, product, engineering, and service partners. You'll liaise with multiple departments to identify the highest-value fields, refine candidacy review processes, and collaborate on how data is presented to users in the platform.

• Advise on internal tooling. You'll be the sharpest user of our admin, ingestion, dedup, and QA workflows - work with our team to identify the most impactful improvements we can make.

• Document the playbook. Transferable and clear - good enough that whoever inherits this doesn't have to reverse-engineer your thinking.

• A working understanding of healthcare services data - ideally mental health specifically. You'll need a sense for what consumers need to know prior to making a decision, where that data comes from, and how frequently it changes.

• Strong data-schema and data-modeling judgment. You've evolved schemas that survived contact with reality, and you have opinions about what not to add. Fluent in Postgres/SQL.

• Instinct for how data fits into a product - you reason from who consumes the data backward to what and how to supply it.

• Real experience running data operations with a human-in-the-loop or annotation component, including directing distributed specialists to a quality bar.

• You've owned KPIs for data accuracy and freshness - and can walk us through how you moved them.

• Quality-systems and taxonomy thinking; you write the SOP, you don't just follow it.

• Comfortable working across product, engineering, and external partners.

• Comfortable moving fast with limited scaffolding.

Nice-to-Haves:

• AI- / LLM-assisted curation workflows.

• HL7, FHIR, or other health-data interoperability standards.

• Experience building or maintaining a services dataset or provider directory

The hourly rate for this role is between $75 and $100, depending on experience, skills, and other relevant considerations.

Project Healthy Minds is a mental health nonprofit that runs like a tech startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That's why we're building the world's first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you. To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America - business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more - because we believe that the world's most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions. We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.
