Company Overview

Alzheon, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a broad portfolio of product candidates and diagnostic assays for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. We are committed to developing innovative medicines by directly addressing the underlying pathology of devastating neurodegenerative disorders. Our lead Alzheimer’s clinical candidate, ALZ-801 , is an oral agent in Phase 3 development as a potentially disease modifying treatment for AD. ALZ-801 is an oral small molecule that fully blocks formation of neurotoxic soluble amyloid oligomers in the brain. Our clinical expertise and technology platform are focused on developing drug candidates and diagnostic assays using a precision medicine approach based on individual genetic and biomarker information to advance therapies with the greatest impact for patients.

Position Overview

Alzheon is seeking a clinical technology leader to serve as Director, Clinical Data Technology, owning the study platforms, integrations, and data flows that carry a trial from start-up through database lock, submission, and archiving.

The work sits between Clinical Operations, Clinical Data Management, Data & AI, Quality, IT and Security, and our study vendors. The focus is platform ownership, integration, day-to-day operational reliability, and oversight that holds up in an inspection.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with RTSM, eCOA/ePRO, eConsent, coding, safety, imaging, laboratory, and biomarker integrations
• Knowledge of CDISC, RBQM, computerized-system validation, submission readiness, and inspection support
• Experience in global Phase 3 studies with multiple CROs and specialty vendors
