  • Establish and maintain subject area data models and semantic layers tailored to clinical and operational use cases
  • Ensure the platform is designed and operated in alignment with Apogee’s GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, SOX Controls, and other regulatory/compliance expectations, where applicable

Analytics, BI & Visualization

  • Design and build dashboards / analytic views that support key functional area use cases
  • Define reusable data marts and semantic models that enable self-service analytics for Clinical and, over time, other functions

Cross-Functional Leadership & Change Management

  • Act as a trusted partner to Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biometrics, Medical Monitoring, and other functions, translating their questions into implementable data and analytics solutions
  • Work closely within IT (Infrastructure and Security), QA, and business stakeholders to support any required validation, testing, and controlled releases of data and analytics capabilities
  • Communicate roadmaps, status, risks, and dependencies clearly and regularly to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership
  • Drive adoption and literacy around the Data Lakehouse and BI tools by developing documentation, providing training/enablement for key users, and promoting best practices
  • Help define the future operating model for data and analytics at Apogee, including when and how to scale into a broader team

Ideal Candidate

  • 10+ years of experience in data engineering, data platform, or analytics roles, with meaningful experience owning or leading a modern cloud data platform (Data Lakehouse or cloud data warehouse)
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent professional experience) in Life Sciences, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field
  • Proven track record as a hands-on senior level individual contributor, comfortable both setting strategy and implementing technical solutions

  • Prior experience in biotech / pharma / life sciences is strongly preferred, especially supporting Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biometrics, or Medical Monitoring
  • Familiarity with data from CROs and clinical systems (e.g., EDC, CTMS, safety, lab, statistical outputs) and integrating these into a centralized data environment
  • Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA) and supporting audit/inspection readiness is highly desirable
  • Exposure to Apogee-relevant systems is a plus (e.g., Veeva Vault applications, Egnyte GxP repositories, SAS server, NetSuite)
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and at least one data engineering language (e.g., Python or Scala)
  • Hands-on experience with data pipeline and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Azure Data Factory, dbt, or similar) and CI/CD concepts for data workloads
  • Solid understanding of data architecture patterns (data lakes, lakehouses, warehouses, dimensional modeling, semantic layers)
  • Experience integrating data from file repositories (SharePoint, Egnyte) and external partners (CROs, cloud vendors, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of data security, privacy, and access control in an enterprise setting, and how these intersect with GxP and other compliance requirements
  • Strategic yet pragmatic; able to start from a greenfield environment and design a phased, realistic roadmap
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, capable of framing data and platform decisions in business terms for clinical and executive stakeholders
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence, collaborating effectively with integration, infrastructure, security, QA, and business teams without direct reporting lines
  • High ownership and bias for action, comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth clinical-stage biotech environment
  • Interest in eventually building and leading a small data team, while being fully comfortable as a hands-on individual contributor in the near term
  • Ability and willingness to travel up to 20%, including mandatory in-person attendance at Apogee All Hands meetings typically held twice per year

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
