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.

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 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.
