About the Role:
The Director, DSPV Data, Technology and Innovation is the business owner of Insmed's safety systems and the person accountable for the DSPV data, technology and innovation strategy and roadmap, and for its delivery. You will decide, on behalf of Drug Safety & Pharmacovigilance, what technology DSPV needs, in what order it will be delivered, and whether what is delivered is fit for purpose.

You will represent DSPV in enterprise technology, data and AI governance forums and work in close collaboration with Insmed's IT function, the enterprise data platform team, Quality Assurance and the enterprise AI team, setting requirements that technical teams can build from, understanding enough of how the technology works to challenge what is proposed, and bringing decisions back to DSPV in terms the function can act on. This position reports to the Senior Director, DSPV Business Strategy, Data & Technology.

What You'll Do:

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to serve as the designated business owner of Insmed's safety systems, including the safety database, signal and risk management tools, and safety reporting and analytics platforms, accountable for each system from definition of business requirements through implementation, day-to-day use, and eventual retirement. You'll also:

Safety Systems Ownership and Vendor Management

• Set and approve business requirements, configuration decisions, user access, and release priorities for safety systems, and make the final business-side decision where trade-offs are required.
• Own the business relationship with safety systems and technology vendors, including performance against agreed service levels, escalation and resolution of issues, product roadmap and release discussions, renewals, and input to contracts and budgets in partnership with IT, Procurement and Legal.
• Hold vendors and contractors accountable for the quality and timeliness of what they deliver and oversee contractors supporting DSPV systems activities.
• Monitor the capacity, performance and stability of safety systems as case volumes and product markets grow and raise risks to DSPV leadership before they affect compliance. Maintain the DSPV system inventory and the business-side documentation needed to support audits and health authority inspections.

Technology Strategy, Roadmap and Delivery

• Own the DSPV technology roadmap: what Insmed will build, buy or retire for pharmacovigilance. Review and refresh the roadmap annually with DSPV leadership and IT and secure the funding to deliver it.
• Conduct gap analyses of current PV systems, tools and processes against regulatory requirements, portfolio growth and industry practice, and identify strategies for improvement.
• Lead the evaluation and selection of new safety systems and technologies, including requirements definition, vendor demonstrations, requests for proposal (in collaboration with procurement), and business case development.
• Manage delivery of DSPV technology projects from start to finish, including scope, schedule, budget, resourcing, dependencies, risks and issues, with regular reporting to DSPV and IT leadership.
• Lead business-side activities for safety data migrations, including data mapping, reconciliation, verification of migrated data, and decommissioning of legacy systems.
• Lead the business-side activities that make a new system work in practice, including process design, user acceptance testing, training, cutover and post-implementation support.
• Plan safety system capability ahead of new product launches, label expansions and entry into new markets, so that systems and data are ready before they are needed.

Analytics, Reporting and AI Innovation

• Define what DSPV needs from safety reporting and analytics, including compliance metrics, case processing performance, product-level safety data and management reporting, and meet those needs using platforms Insmed already owns wherever possible.
• Own the design and content of DSPV dashboards and reports, working with IT and the enterprise data platform team to build them, and maintain the definitions behind each metric to ensure harmonization across DSPV.
• Enable signal detection, benefit-risk evaluation and patient exposure analysis by making sure the underlying data, tools and access are in place, working with Global Safety Leads, safety scientists across Medical Safety to understand what those tools need to do.
• Identify, prioritize and manage AI use cases for pharmacovigilance (for example development of conversational interfaces for safety analysis), ensuring the most value adding use cases progress through structured pilots to a clear decision.
• Define success criteria before pilots start, including measurable acceptance criteria, the data required, how performance will be checked over time, and where human review is retained. Present evidence-based recommendations to leadership on whether to scale, adjust or stop.
• Maintain current knowledge of pharmacovigilance technology and of regulatory expectations for AI, including the CIOMS Working Group XIV principles, FDA and EMA guidance on the use of AI in medicines development, and applicable EU AI Act obligations, and share what is relevant with DSPV.
• Where pilot results or new methods are of external interest, publish and present them at industry forums (e.g., DIA, ISOP, ICPE), and maintain a record of what DSPV has evaluated and learned to support future regulatory authority discussions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration and Compliance

• Act as the main point of contact between DSPV and Insmed IT: turn DSPV business needs into requirements and user stories that technical teams can build from, and bring technical constraints, options and costs back to DSPV in terms the function can decide on.
• Support Quality Assurance's validation and change control work with the business inputs it depends on - user requirements, risk assessments, test scripts and evidence, and change impact assessments.
• Partner with the enterprise data platform team on DSPV's use of shared data infrastructure (e.g., Snowflake, Qlik), including data feeds, data quality, access, and reporting standards.
• Partner with the enterprise AI team, which owns Insmed's AI strategy and delivery, to bring DSPV use cases into the enterprise pipeline and to make sure pharmacovigilance requirements are reflected in how AI solutions are built, validated and monitored.
• Work with Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Development, Epidemiology and Biostatistics so that safety systems and safety data support their requirements alongside DSPV's.
• Support health authority inspections and audits on matters relating to safety systems, safety data and technology.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of DSPV SOPs, work instructions and training materials relating to systems, data and analytics.
• Maintain current knowledge of global PV regulatory requirements affecting systems and data (EMA, FDA, PMDA and other health authorities), including E2B and applicable ICH standards, and make sure Insmed's systems keep pace with them.
