ABOUT ECRI  

ECRI is an independent, nonprofit healthcare safety organization advancing evidence-based, effective healthcare globally. For more than 50 years, we've helped healthcare leaders make smarter, safer decisions — free from vendor influence or conflicting interests. Today, ECRI is home to a family of trusted safety brands, including the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) and The Just Culture Company, extending our reach across patient safety, medication safety, and safety culture transformation. Join us, and your work will directly protect patients worldwide. 

WHAT WE OFFER 

• Comprehensive healthcare coverage: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, critical illness insurance, and more. 

• Retirement savings: Employer-matching Retirement Savings Plan. 

• Culture of Belonging: Participate in employee groups to learn from, growth with, and support colleagues in our collective success. 

• Purpose beyond the paycheck: 16 paid hours annually through ECRI Cares to volunteer with preapproved charities. 

POSITION SUMMARY

The VP, Data & Analytics Products role leads the organization's data products function. This role will define and execute the strategy for transforming ECRI's unparalleled proprietary healthcare safety data into scalable commercial products and intelligence services. The role will serve as both a strategic architect and an organizational builder — standing up a high-performing team, forging the governance structures that connect the new function to existing technical teams, and personally driving the first generation of commercial data products to market.

This role requires a leader who is bilingual: technically credible enough to earn the trust of data scientists and engineers, and commercially savvy enough to translate data assets into products that healthcare organizations will purchase. The position will have a seat at ECRI's leadership table and serve as the internal champion for data as a strategic and revenue-generating asset.
