ABOUT OAK HILL BIO Oak Hill Bio was founded to take the baton where others left off—acquiring and developing outstanding deprioritized late-stage rare disease drugs and bringing them across the finish line. In February 2025, they obtained global rights for Rugonersen, an investigational antisense oligonucleotide for the treatment of individuals with Angelman syndrome. ROLE OVERVIEW The Lead Clinical Data Manager will provide strategic and operational leadership for clinical data management activities across Phase 2/3 clinical programs in rare disease and neonatology. Operating within a fully outsourced model, this individual will serve as the sponsor subject matter expert responsible for overseeing external vendors, ensuring data quality and integrity, and supporting regulatory submissions. The successful candidate will partner closely with Clinical Operations, Biostatistics, Medical, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, and external CROs to ensure timely delivery of high-quality clinical data in support of global development programs. Experience managing complex studies in vulnerable populations, including pediatric patients, is highly desirable. For a small biotech, this role requires an individual who is comfortable being very hands-on despite the "lead" title: the individual will serve as strategist, vendor manager, escalation point, and operational reviewer simultaneously, rather than managing a large internal data management team.

Oversee the coordination of external data integrations, including laboratory, safety, pharmacokinetic, and device data. Lead internal cross-functional data review meetings and drive resolution of data discrepancies. Support interim analyses, Data Monitoring Committee activities, and final database lock.
