Open Positions at Apnimed

Value Outcomes Liaison/Sr. Value Outcomes Liaison

The Value Outcomes Liaison (VOL) is a field-based leader within Medical Affairs responsible for advancing Apnimed’s Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) strategy through impactful engagement with payer decision-makers. This role serves as a critical bridge between clinical evidence, value demonstration, and market access, translating complex data into meaningful insights that support patient access and inform strategic decision-making.

Director, Medical Operations

The Director, Medical Operations is responsible for leading the operational execution, planning, and continuous improvement of Medical Affairs capabilities and processes. Reporting to the Vice President, Medical Operations, this role serves as a strategic and operational partner to Medical Affairs leadership, ensuring effective planning, governance, resource management, and execution across the organization.

The role is accountable for enabling organizational effectiveness through integrated strategic planning and performance reporting, field excellence, congress and publications operations, vendor and budget management, and technology solutions. The Director provides an enterprise view of Medical Affairs priorities and progress across all medical functions, ensuring plans and execution remain aligned to medical strategy and brand plans, while partnering closely with Business Operations and Commercial Operations to drive cross-functional alignment and scalable capabilities.

Senior Accountant

We are seeking a detail-oriented, fast paced and hands-on Senior Accountant, who will specialize in administering Apnimed’s payroll and employee benefits programs. Reporting to the Controller, this role will be responsible for accurate and timely multi-state payroll processing, day-to-day benefits administration, and all related accounting, reconciliation, compliance, and reporting activities. This individual will partner closely with Human Resources, Finance leadership, and external vendors to ensure programs are accurate, compliant, well-controlled, and scalable as the organization continues to grow.

This is a specialist role with a primary focus on payroll and benefits rather than broad general ledger ownership. The Senior Accountant, will process and reconcile all payroll cycles, administer health and welfare and retirement plans, prepare compensation-related journal entries and account reconciliations, , maintain payroll and benefits compliance across multiple jurisdictions, and provide schedules and documentation for internal reporting and external audits. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced payroll and benefits professional who enjoys building scalable, well-controlled processes while remaining deeply involved in execution within a fast-growing biotech environment.

Senior Director, Human Resources Operations

We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Director, Human Resources Operations to lead and execute Apnimed’s HR Operations strategy and operating model across onboarding, HRIS administration, benefits coordination, HR compliance, vendor management, reporting and analytics, and process optimization. The Senior Director, Human Resources Operations will be a trusted partner to HR leadership, managers, employees, and cross-functional stakeholders, ensuring that people processes are practical, data-informed, compliant, and aligned with Apnimed’s culture, mission, and values. This role will take full ownership of the day-to-day operational execution of HR programs — resolving issues, managing escalations, and running the operating rhythm directly. This is an excellent opportunity for a collaborative HR leader who is equally comfortable setting tactical direction and rolling up their sleeves to execute within a fast-growing biotech environment.

Senior Director, Field Medical Excellence

The Senior Director, Medical Excellence will lead the planning and execution of training in scientific knowledge as well as business skills supporting the anticipated launch of the first oral therapy for OSA. This person will ensure that every member of the Apnimed Medical Affairs team is a true “triple threat,” demonstrating high levels of scientific excellence, business acumen, and emotional intelligence, with a special focus on the Field Medical Affairs team.

 

The Senior Director will provide support across all members of the Medical Affairs team from a strategic, scientific, developmental, and compliance standpoint, with particular emphasis on launch readiness before approval and launch excellence beyond approval. As a member of a growing Medical Affairs organization, the Senior Director will contribute beyond traditional training responsibilities and play a significant role in launch planning, field capability-building, and organizational development.

Sr. Director, Training, Learning & Executive Development

The Sr. Director, Training, Learning & Executive Development will build the foundation for excellence across Apnimed’s commercial organization — owning field contact reporting, training curriculum, executive coaching, and leadership development. This role will report to the Vice President, Commercial Operations and will be responsible for designing an exceptional, engaging learning experience for every employee, ensuring the field organization has the knowledge, tools, and coaching needed to succeed, and increasingly embraces innovation and AI to personalize training, summarize field activity, and accelerate leadership growth.

This is a people-first role for someone who is passionate about building capability at scale — equally comfortable architecting a company-wide learning experience, designing a certification program, and coaching a senior leader — and who sees AI as a way to make training more personalized and impactful, not just more efficient.

Associate Director/Director of Compliance and Operations

We are building Apnimed’s compliance program ahead of our first commercial launch, and we are looking for a Director of Compliance to build it with us. This is the first dedicated compliance hire, partnering directly with the Chief Compliance Officer. This role will report to Deputy General Counsel, Chief Compliance & Privacy Officer and has four parts:

  • Running the operational side of the compliance program
  • Advising Commercial and Medical Affairs early, so compliance shapes launch strategy rather than reacting to it
  • Overseeing the controls we are putting in place and making sure they work in practice
  • Being the go-to resource for everyday compliance questions across the business.

 

This is a hands-on role at a company where you will see your work directly affect how we launch. It suits someone who has been through a launch, can move between strategy and execution in the same day, and is known as a business partner who finds the compliant path forward.

We’re always looking for motivated and passionate people. If you don’t see a position above that’s a perfect fit for you, please drop us a line at careers@apnimed.com.
