Senior Project Manager - Real-World Health Data Platforms (f/m/x)

Berlin, Potsdam

Full-time

Hi there!

Our goal at Data4Life is to make the world a healthier place. Our Real World Evidence Projects team makes sure we move toward that goal with focus, rigor and speed -translating research ambition into software that generates real impact in healthcare, in Germany and beyond.

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager (f/m/d) to lead our work on the Artificial Intelligence-Ready Mount Sinai platform (AIR·MS) and drive Data2Evidence (D2E) projects throughout the world. AIR·MS integrates multimodal datasets spanning more than 12 million patients using the OMOP Common Data Model, and makes it accessible for interactive cohort building, AI model training, and federated analysis in a HIPAA-compliant environment; Data2Evidence is our RWD platform that enables transforming datasets into the OMOP CDM and harmonizing them into OHDSI standardized vocabularies to allow for no-code, interactive cohort building and analytics.

This is a full-time position based in Potsdam / Berlin. You’ll report to the Head of RWE Projects, and take over end-to-end delivery of AIR·MS, working across engineering, data, clinical research, and partner organizations on multiple continents.

Your future role

Lead the end-to-end delivery of multi-year, multi-stakeholder platform workstreams - from roadmap and quarterly OKR planning through execution, risk management, and stakeholder reporting to C-level and external partners.

Drive cross-functional delivery across our software engineering, platform, ML, design, and quality teams -aligning Scrum and Kanban delivery cadences with waterfall-style timelines typical of research programs.

Collaborate with principal investigators, clinicians, and researchers at Mount Sinai, HPI, and further collaborations to translate research questions into concrete, shippable platform capabilities - without losing scientific nuance.

Manage Data2Evidence (D2E) projects, coordinating between international research partners to implement data-driven solutions from D4L and the OHDSI community.

Contribute to maturing our project management practice across Data4Life.
