Director, Pharmacovigilance & Safety Technology

Job description

Overview Alnylam is the world’s leading RNA interference (RNAi) company, dedicated to transforming patients’ lives through innovative medicines. As the global development and commercial portfolio expands, Safety & Risk Management requires scalable, compliant, and data-driven technology capabilities that support high-quality pharmacovigilance across investigational and marketed products. The Director, Pharmacovigilance & Safety Technology shapes and executes the technology strategy for Safety & Risk Management and related safety functions. As the primary business technology leader for Safety, this role ensures that platforms, data, integrations, analytics, reporting, and digital workflows enable compliant, efficient, inspection-ready, and insight-driven operations across the product lifecycle. Reporting to the Executive Director, Commercial & Development Technologies, this role directly manages two experienced technology professionals at the Manager and Senior Manager levels. The role translates Safety priorities into a practical roadmap and leads execution and additional work through its team, product owners, application teams, managed service providers, vendors, and cross-functional partners. Success in this role requires strong pharmacovigilance-domain business acumen, technical fluency across regulated safety platforms, and the ability to translate safety priorities into a practical technology roadmap. The leader will be expected to connect strategy to execution—partnering with Safety leadership, enterprise Technology, Data, Quality, Security, Compliance, Validation, and vendor teams to deliver scalable, compliant, secure, and user-centered solutions. Rather than serving as a single-system product owner or duplicating Safety Operations responsibilities, this role provides functional technology leadership across the broader PV and safety capability landscape. This role is Hybrid, based in Cambridge, MA with 2-3 days onsite. Key Responsibilities • Serve as the primary business technology functional leader and strategic partner for Safety & Risk Management, Safety Operations, Pharmacovigilance, Risk Management, and related safety functions, building trusted relationships with functional leadership to understand objectives, priorities, pain points, and technology needs. • Define and maintain the safety technology roadmap, translating Safety business priorities and requirements into prioritized platform investments, process-enabling technology capabilities, data enablement, automation, and AI-enabled solution opportunities.<
