In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. 
 
Together we define white space, push boundaries and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma.

As Associate Director/Director, Safety Systems, you will lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of BridgeBio’s global pharmacovigilance (PV) systems landscape.  You will play a critical role in the migration of safety data and processes from Argus to Veeva Vault Safety, ensuring data integrity, compliance, and operational continuity.  This role will have a focus on Veeva Vault Safety and SafetyDocs with a secondary support role for other Veeva vaults such as Quality, RIM and eTMF.

You will partner closely with Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance (DSPV), Quality, Regulatory, and Clinical teams to deliver innovative, scalable, and inspection-ready safety systems that protect patient safety and enable regulatory excellence.
