The Role

The Director, Data Management leads Pedestal Health's clinical data management (CDM) function across our prospective studies, clinical trials, external control arms, and registry cohorts. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the design and build of study databases, the standards that govern data collection, medical coding, and the delivery of analysis-ready, submission-grade datasets. The Director owns data quality, timelines, and regulatory compliance from study startup through database lock, and builds the people, processes, SOPs, and technology that let the function scale.

What You’ll Do

EDC Design & Build

  • Lead the design, build, configuration, and validation of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) databases (e.g., Medidata Rave, Veeva Vault CDMS, Oracle Clinical/InForm) across the study portfolio.
  • Own database specifications, edit checks, dynamics, derivations, and user-acceptance testing (UAT); ensure builds are validated and audit-ready prior to go-live.
  • Manage study startup, mid-study amendments, and database migrations with minimal disruption to sites and ongoing data flow.
  • Oversee integration of external and non-CRF data sources (labs, ePRO/eCOA, imaging, biomarkers, EHR-derived data) into the study database.

CRF & Data Collection Standards

  • Author and maintain CRF/eCRF design guidelines, CRF Completion Guidelines, and a library of reusable standard forms aligned to CDISC CDASH.
  • Partner with clinical, biostatistics, and medical teams to translate protocols into efficient, high-quality data collection instruments.
  • Establish and govern data management standards, conventions, and SOPs to drive consistency and reusability across studies.

Medical Coding

  • Oversee medical coding of adverse events, medical history, and concomitant medications using MedDRA and WHODrug.
  • Either lead coding in-house or manage and oversee a coding vendor - defining coding conventions, reviewing auto-encoding and manual review, resolving queries, and ensuring dictionary version control and supervising
  • Ensure coding accuracy, consistency, and timeliness, and reconcile coded terms with safety and clinical review.

SDTM & ADaM / Regulatory Deliverables

  • Own the strategy and quality of CDISC-conformant deliverables, ensuring source data map cleanly to SDTM and support downstream ADaM datasets for statistical analysis and submission.
  • Direct the creation and review of SDTM datasets, annotated CRFs, define.xml, and the Study Data Reviewer's Guide (SDRG/cSDRG), and coordinate ADaM specifications with biostatistics/programming.
  • Run Pinnacle 21 (or equivalent) conformance checks and resolve findings to ensure FDA/EMA submission-readiness.

Data Quality, Delivery & Compliance

  • Own end-to-end data cleaning, query management, discrepancy and SAE reconciliation, and database lock activities - delivering clean, on-time data.
  • Define and monitor data quality metrics, dashboards, and KPIs; report status and risks to study teams and leadership.
  • Ensure all activities comply with ICH-GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, applicable FDA/EMA regulations, and internal SOPs; support audits and inspections.

Leadership & Vendor Management

  • Build, mentor, and manage a team of clinical data managers, programmers, and coders; set standards, allocate resources, and develop talent.
  • Manage CRO and technology vendors - scope, budgets, timelines, oversight, and quality - for outsourced data management and coding.
  • Contribute to proposals, timelines, and budgets, and represent data management with sponsors and partners.
  • Serve as SME and thought leader both inside and outside the organization.

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in life sciences, health informatics, computer science, or a related field (advanced degree a plus).
  • 10+ years of clinical data management experience, including 3+ years leading or managing teams, in a pharma, biotech, CRO, or RWE setting.
  • Demonstrated, hands-on expertise building and validating EDC databases (Medidata Rave, Veeva, Oracle, or similar).
  • Proficiency with CDISC standards - CDASH, SDTM, and ADaM - and submission deliverables (define.xml, annotated CRF, reviewer's guides).
  • Experience overseeing medical coding with MedDRA and WHODrug, whether in-house or via a coding vendor.
  • Strong working knowledge of ICH-GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, and FDA/EMA regulatory requirements.
  • Proven ability to manage CROs and vendors, budgets, and multiple concurrent studies to deadline.

Nice to Have

  • Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) certification (CCDM) or equivalent.
  • Experience with real-world evidence, registries, external control arms, or EHR-derived data.
  • Familiarity with Pinnacle 21, SAS, and/or data-review programming.
  • Therapeutic-area experience in hepatology, dermatology, or gastroenterology.

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision for you and your family
  • 401(k) with company match

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
