The Opportunity
Praxis is hiring a Director, Clinical Systems & Data. You would lead the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of the clinical systems and data capabilities that support Praxis’s clinical development and study operations. This includes translating clinical priorities and study milestones into clear technology priorities, making thoughtful investment and sequencing decisions, and driving delivery with urgency and accountability.
Within IT, you will own the clinical systems and data capability while partnering closely with Clinical Operations, Data & Analytics, Quality, Regulatory, and external technology providers. The role calls for creating clarity across functions, establishing decision rights, resolving competing priorities, and ensuring the systems and data supporting our clinical programs are reliable, scalable, secure, and fit for purpose.
You will provide leadership across clinical data engineering, data platform architecture, clinical systems delivery, and related validation activities. At the same time, you’ll stay close to the technology and the work—challenging designs, troubleshooting issues, escalating when needed, and applying sound judgment to keep delivery moving.
You will also help shape how Praxis uses clinical technology and data to work better. You’ll move the organization from fragmented or static workflows toward governed, reusable data products, analytics, and practical AI-enabled tools that help teams make better decisions and work more effectively. Success will include building an operating model that scales with the organization, strengthens inspection readiness and operational resilience, and reduces dependency on individual contributors.
