• Manage a team responsible for safety data QC, dashboard build/maintenance, and ad hoc safety analytics requests
• Partner with Biostatistics, Clinical Data Management, and Medical Safety on signal detection methodology and dashboard logic
• Partner with cloud/data engineering teams to translate clinical/safety reporting needs into technical requirements (data model, refresh cadence, query performance) for dashboard consumption
• Develop a robust talent development plan in alignment with functional growth strategies of the department
• Develop and deliver comprehensive presentations and written communications on clinical operations and study developments to stakeholders and management
• Identify issues and collaborate with appropriate team members to bring to resolution; determine root cause; recommend and lead the implementation of corrective actions, complex process development and process improvement solutions to optimize strategic imperatives

• Working knowledge of cloud-hosted data architectures (AWS preferred) and data lake concepts (ingestion, ETL/ELT, data cataloging) sufficient to partner effectively with engineering teams — not expected to build pipelines personally, but must be able to translate business/safety requirements into technical specs and validate outputs
• Proven expertise in MS Office Suite, SharePoint, and ability to operate general office machinery
• Strict attention to detail
