Cambridge, United States Apnimed Full time

Apnimed is a well-funded, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company working to transform the treatment of sleep apnea based on a simple idea – patients with obstructive sleep apnea could benefit from treatment with a safe and effective oral medication dosed once daily at bedtime. Our lead development program targets the neurologic control of upper airway muscles to maintain an open airway during sleep. Based in Cambridge, Mass., we are developing a portfolio of novel pharmacologic therapies for sleep apnea and related disorders. Apnimed was recognized in 2024 by the Boston Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work.


As the Senior Director of Information Technology at Apnimed, you will serve as the sole internal IT leader, responsible for driving the strategic vision and operational excellence of our IT systems. You will manage external vendors, ensure alignment across internal departments, lead IT system migrations, and support the organization’s growth by delivering the technology tools and platforms necessary for success. This role is hands-on and highly collaborative, requiring expertise in IT management, vendor coordination, change management, and system implementation to meet the diverse needs of teams including Clinical Operations, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, CMC, Medical Affairs, and Commercial. This is an exciting opportunity to join a company driving major paradigm shift in the treatment of sleep apnea from medical devices and surgery to a first-in-class pharmaceutical treatment with the potential to enhance the lives of millions of people across the globe.

  • 12+ years of progressive IT leadership experience, ideally within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or healthcare industries.
