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.

Senior Director, 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.

Senior Manager, GMP Quality Assurance

The Senior Manager, GMP Quality Assurance plays a pivotal role in ensuring Apnimed’s products are manufactured, tested, and released in full compliance with global regulatory standards and our internal quality expectations. The role will report to the Associate Director, GMP Quality Assurance. As Apnimed transitions from late-stage development to commercial readiness, this role provides both strategic oversight and operational execution across all GMP activities, with particular emphasis on external manufacturing and testing partners.

 

This role supports Apnimed’s mission to deliver transformative therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by embedding quality and compliance into every step of the product lifecycle. The Senior Manager serves as a trusted partner to Manufacturing, CMC, Regulatory, and Supply Chain teams, ensuring alignment, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Director, Business Applications & Delivery

The Director, Business Applications & Delivery reports to the Senior Director, Information Technology and is responsible for Apnimed’s enterprise applications portfolio and for the delivery organization that implements, validates and supports it — business analysts, delivery managers and business systems administration, with the IT project management office inside it. The successful candidate will also play a key role in sequencing and landing the systems that stand behind the AD109 launch (PDUFA 28 February 2027; first commercial sale planned for 3 May 2027), including the systems and onboarding for an Apnimed-employed field force. This is an exciting opportunity to build the applications and delivery function of a newly public company at the center of a major paradigm shift in the treatment of sleep apnea from medical devices and surgery to a first-in-class pharmaceutical treatment.

Business Analyst — Commercial

The Business Analyst — Commercial reports to the Director, Business Applications & Delivery and is responsible for turning what Apnimed’s commercial organization needs into requirements a build team can act on — sitting with the business owner, decomposing the existing process and writing the requirement before any system change is proposed. The successful candidate will also play a key role in the commercial system go-lives of Q4 2026 and the first half of 2027 and in defining the AI use cases that will make commercial processes faster, in advance of the AD109 launch (PDUFA 28 February 2027; first commercial sale planned for 3 May 2027). This is an exciting opportunity to shape the systems a first-time launch runs on, at the center of a major paradigm shift in the treatment of sleep apnea from medical devices and surgery to a first-in-class pharmaceutical treatment.

Director, Pharmacovigilance

The Director, Pharmacovigilance will support the development and execution of Apnimed’s pharmacovigilance and drug safety strategy as the company prepares for commercialization and continues clinical development.

Reporting to the Vice President, Pharmacovigilance, this role will drive day-to-day execution and provide hands-on oversight across post-marketing pharmacovigilance, safety operations, vendor oversight, compliance, safety surveillance, aggregate reporting, and inspection readiness.

 

This role will work cross-functionally with Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Quality, Commercial, Medical Information, and external service providers to ensure an effective, compliant, and inspection-ready pharmacovigilance system.

Director, Telemedicine Platform Strategy & Integration

The Director, Telemedicine Platform Strategy & Integration reports to the VP, Commercial Strategy and is responsible for building, launching, and running Apnimed’s branded telemedicine platform: the easiest route for diagnosed, untreated OSA patients to connect with an independent licensed clinician and learn whether AD109 is right for them, if approved. The successful candidate will also play a key role in serving as the single point of integration across Marketing, Market Access & Trade, Patient Access, Medical Affairs, Legal & Compliance, IT and Privacy, Insights & Analytics, and our commercialization partners, and in owning Apnimed’s full telemedicine strategy, including potential partnerships with third-party virtual sleep clinics. This is an exciting opportunity to build the patient pathway to a clinician at the forefront of a major paradigm shift in the treatment of sleep apnea from medical devices and surgery to a first in class pharmaceutical treatment.
