Cambridge, Massachusetts Onsite Biometrics Full-time

About this role

Who is BlueRock?

BlueRock Therapeutics LP is a clinical stage cell therapy harnessing the power of cell therapy to create a pipeline of new medicines for people suffering from neurological and ophthalmic diseases. Two of our novel investigational cell therapies, bemdaneprocel (BRT-DA01) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and OpCT-001 for the treatment of primary photoreceptor diseases are clinical stage programs. BlueRock was founded in 2016 as a joint venture of Versant Ventures and Leaps by Bayer. Our culture is defined by the courage to persist regardless of the challenge, the urgency to transform medicine and deliver hope, integrity guided by mission, and community-mindedness with the understanding that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.

What Are We Doing?

Our foundational science harnesses the ability to create and then direct the differentiation of universal pluripotent stem cells into authentic, functional cells that can be used as allogeneic cellular therapies to treat a broad array of diseases. We can also further engineer these cells, enabling them to produce enzymes, antibodies, and other proteins for additional therapeutic benefit.

We are passionate about delivering on the promise of cellular and gene therapy, shaping the future of cellular medicine, and delivering new therapies to millions of patients with treatment options.

We are seeking individuals who are collaborative, thrive in a fun and dynamic culture, and are steadfast in the commitment to advance cutting-edge cellular therapies to impact patients’ lives.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Director, Data Management, to lead enterprise efforts to improve the quality, consistency, and governance of data across systems and the end-to-end data continuum. This strategic leader will define and drive the data management and standards strategy for Bluerock, establish company-wise data standards, processes, and enabling technologies, and collaborate closely with internal and external partners—including business, IT, and clinical data strategy/operations leaders—to ensure data is captured, structured, integrated, and leveraged effectively for operational excellence, product and platform development, and analytics.

This role will guide cross-functional teams in architecting and implementing data management capability and governance solutions, oversee standards governance and lifecycle management (including assessment of enhancements and deviations), and build strong partnerships with other stakeholders as well as Bayer and other key vendors to deliver high-quality, interoperable data. The Senior Director will also represent the organization in relevant industry standards forums and serve as a key resource in responding to data/standards questions from regulatory agencies.
