The role

Nkarta is seeking a Senior Director or Executive Director to serve as Head of Clinical Data Management (CDM). This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced data management executive who will own the strategy, operating model, and quality of clinical data across the NKX019 autoimmune program—from ongoing multi-indication Phase 1/2 studies through potential future pivotal trials and a Biologics License Application (BLA).

The Head of CDM will ensure every protocol change is reflected promptly and correctly in the database, that data are analysis-ready for frequent data cuts, and that the function is built to deliver a submission-quality database for future pivotal studies.

Reporting to the VP, Program Management and Head of Clinical Trial Services, this leader will direct Nkarta’s internal data managers and contract staff, hold the biometrics CRO and data vendors accountable for quality and timelines, and partner closely with Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biostatistics, Drug Safety, Medical Writing and Regulatory Affairs.
