Strategic Leadership & Capability Building

• Establish, drive, and execute the functional vision and roadmap for clinical data analytics and data visualization across global development programs.


• Lead, mentor, and cultivate a high-performing team of clinical data analysts and visual analytics programmers within the IDASP organization, fostering a culture of innovation, technical rigor, and collaboration.


• Serve as the internal champion and subject matter expert for self-service analytics, modern visual frameworks, and interactive exploratory tools across Jazz Clinical Development.

Study Monitoring, Medical Surveillance & Exploratory Analytics

• Lead the architecture, deployment, and ongoing enhancement of interactive patient profile viewers, safety signal surveillance interfaces, and cross-study medical monitoring suites.


• Direct the development of dynamic study monitoring views that track real-time clinical parameters, adverse events of special interest, laboratory anomalies, query resolution trajectories, and subject disposition.


• Partner closely with Study Teams, Clinical Scientists, and Clinical Operations Leads to translate complex clinical questions into elegant, reliable, and user-friendly visual solutions.


• Support study-level data cleaning campaigns and review milestones to expedite database locks and preserve continuous inspection readiness.

Visualization Architecture & Technical Delivery

• Oversee the technical strategy, design standards, and lifecycle management for enterprise visual analytics environments (e.g., Spotfire, R/Shiny, Tableau, Power BI).


• Collaborate with statistical programming peers and clinical data management to ingest, transform, and map disparate data sources—including EDC, central labs, biomarkers, and CDISC SDTM/ADaM datasets—into highly performant analytical views.


• Establish standardized visual libraries, reusable templates, and automated data refresh mechanisms to maximize efficiency across Phase I–IV clinical studies.

Quality, Governance & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Define standard operating procedures, documentation standards, and user validation frameworks for visual analytics deliverables to ensure data veracity and compliance with Jazz quality guidelines.


• Evaluate emerging visualization platforms and analytical tools; oversee external vendors and CRO partners delivering dashboard and analytics assets to ensure alignment with internal technical and architectural standards.


• Represent IDASP in cross-functional forums, study team reviews, and strategic technology steering committees.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
