Intelligence details

Why this is worth applying to

Worth a look only if you already have data governance, informatics, or clinical data standards exposure — the manager title plus a blank description makes this a weak target for clinicians without that background. Request the full job description before investing application effort.

Who should apply

Clinicians with informatics, clinical data management, or CDISC/controlled-terminology experience; pharmacists or researchers who have worked in regulatory or medical content operations; healthcare graduates with data governance internships.

CV angle

Frame real experience in terms of data ownership: name the datasets, standards, or systems you governed (e.g., trial data, terminology lists, registries, EMR fields), quantify volume and quality improvements, and describe cross-functional coordination with IT, regulatory, or medical teams. Avoid relabelling clinical duties as metadata work without concrete evidence.

Skills to highlight

  • metadata and data catalogue management
  • data governance and stewardship
  • data standards and controlled terminology
  • data quality and validation
  • cross-functional stakeholder management
  • documentation and process design
  • familiarity with clinical or regulatory data workflows

Role summary

A pharmaceutical data-governance role at Novartis focused on managing metadata — defining, cataloguing, and maintaining data standards and definitions so that data assets are consistent, searchable, and compliant. No description was supplied, so the specific business unit (clinical data standards, regulatory, or medical content) is unknown.
