Senior Director, Data Management Systems

Remote

Immunovant, Inc. is a clinical-stage immunology company dedicated to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases. As trailblazer in anti-FcRn technology, the Company is developing innovative, targeted therapies to meet the complex and variable needs of people with autoimmune diseases.

Organizational Overview:

Immunovant, Inc. is a clinical-stage immunology company dedicated to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases. As trailblazer in anti-FcRn technology, the Company is developing innovative, targeted therapies to meet the complex and variable needs of people with autoimmune diseases.

The Role:

Reporting to the Vice President, Data Management, this position is responsible for providing strategic and operational leadership over the clinical data technology ecosystem, including eCOA/ePRO platforms, eDiary solutions, Medidata Rave (EDC), and Elluminate. This role is not directly responsible for hands-on clinical data management activities (e.g., data cleaning, query resolution, database lock); rather, it requires a strong clinical data management background to inform sound systems strategy, oversee system governance, and lead a team responsible for platform architecture, configuration, integration, and lifecycle management. The ideal candidate understands data management processes deeply enough to translate them into scalable, well-governed technology solutions, and brings proven experience leading systems teams. Serves as a key member of the Data Management Leadership Team, supporting cross-functional team needs and oversees the management of system related enhancements to support study deliverables. Interfaces with CROs and is responsible for managing internal Data Management team members.

Key Responsibilities: 

 Leadership & Management

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of clinical trial solutions personnel
  • Set systems strategy, roadmap, and performance metrics; conduct performance reviews and support career development.
  • Manage systems related budget, resourcing, vendor contracts, and staffing plans across concurrent systems and study portfolios.
  • Serve as a key member of the clinical data management leadership team, representing clinical systems in cross-functional governance forums.
  • Partner with (but do not directly own) the data management operations team and vendors, ensuring systems strategy aligns with DM process needs.

Clinical Systems Strategy & Governance

  • Own the enterprise strategy, roadmap, and governance model for core clinical data systems, including:
    • eCOA / ePRO platforms (patient/clinician-reported outcomes)
    • eDiary systems
    • Medidata Rave EDC
    • Elluminate (data review, aggregation, and analytics platform)
  • Define and maintain system governance frameworks: access management, role-based permissions, change control, and version control across platforms.
  • Establish standards for system configuration, study build templates, and reusable libraries to drive consistency and efficiency across studies.
  • Lead vendor management and contract oversight for all clinical systems vendors, including SLA definition, performance monitoring, and renewal/negotiation strategy.
  • Own system-related budget planning, licensing decisions, and total cost of ownership analysis.

System Implementation & Lifecycle Management

  • Lead selection, evaluation, and implementation of new clinical systems and platform upgrades, including RFP processes and vendor due diligence.
  • Oversee computer system validation (CSV/CSA) activities, ensuring systems meet 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and data integrity requirements.
  • Direct system configuration, build, and testing activities for EDC, eCOA, eDiary, and Elluminate environments.
  • Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of clinical systems: onboarding, ongoing maintenance, periodic review, upgrades, and decommissioning/retirement/data archival.
  • Establish and maintain disaster recovery, business continuity, and system uptime/performance standards in partnership with IT.

Integration & Interoperability

  • Lead architecture and oversight of system integrations (e.g., EDC-to-eCOA, EDC-to-Elluminate, EDC-to-IRT/RTSM/safety databases) to ensure seamless, accurate, and timely data flow.
  • Partner with IT/technical teams to define data integration specifications, API/interface requirements, and data mapping standards.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve systemic/integration-level issues, distinguishing systems-level root causes from data management process issues.
  • Drive adoption of automation, AI-enabled tools, and dashboarding/analytics capabilities to improve data flow visibility and reduce manual effort.

Compliance, Quality & Risk

  • Ensure clinical systems remain inspection-ready at all times; serve as the systems SME during regulatory inspections and audits.
  • Maintain SOPs, validation documentation, and system-level quality standards in partnership with Quality Assurance.
  • Monitor emerging regulatory guidance (e.g., FDA, EMA, ICH E6(R3)) related to clinical technology and data integrity, and proactively adapt systems strategy accordingly.
  • Own risk assessments related to system changes, upgrades, and vendor transitions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Serve as the primary systems liaison to Clinical Data Management, Biostatistics, Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, Regulatory, Quality, and IT.
  • Provide systems and technology input into protocol development, study design feasibility, and technology selection at the program level.
  • Educate and train clinical data management and cross functional staff on system capabilities, updates, and best practices.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in life sciences, health information, computer science, or related field (advanced degree preferred).
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in clinical data management and/or clinical data systems within pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO environments.
  • Strong foundational background in clinical data management (data cleaning, query management, database lock, DM planning) — this role oversees systems, not day-to-day data management operations, but requires fluency in DM processes to inform systems decisions.

  • Demonstrated experience owning or administering:
    • eCOA/ePRO systems
    • eDiary platforms
    • Medidata Rave EDC
    • Elluminate
  • Strong knowledge of system validation (CSV/CSA), 21 CFR Part 11, ICH-GCP, and global regulatory requirements governing clinical data systems.
  • Proven track record leading system implementations, upgrades, integrations, and vendor management.
  • Experience supporting regulatory inspections and audits related to clinical systems and data integrity.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience across multiple therapeutic areas and trial phases (I–IV).
  • Familiarity with additional clinical technologies (e.g., IRT/RTSM, CTMS, safety databases, eTMF).
  • Experience with system integration architecture, APIs, and data pipeline/interface design.
  • Certification in clinical data management (e.g., CCDM), IT/systems (e.g., ITIL), or project management (e.g., PMP).
  • Experience with computer system validation methodologies and audit trail/data integrity frameworks.

Skills & Competencies

  • Strong vendor management, negotiation, and contract oversight capabilities.
  • Ability to translate business/process needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, matrixed organization.

Work Environment:

  • Remote-based

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.
