The role
03The Senior Manager / Associate Director, EHDS Data Cataloguing is the operational and technical lead for identifying, classifying, describing, registering, and maintaining J&J Innovative Medicine’s in-scope health data under the European Health Data Space. Reporting to the Director, Clinical Data Transparency, Data Sharing, the position leads the EHDS Data Inventory and Cataloguing workstream and is accountable for the completeness, consistency, and ongoing maintenance of catalogue information. The position applies comprehensive knowledge of data cataloging, metadata, classification, data governance, and clinical data to establish a standardized and discoverable view of in-scope J&J Innovative Medicine data. The role coordinates data owners across functions, applies the required EHDS data categories and metadata standards, and works with Data Sharing, Legal, Global Privacy, Regulatory Affairs, and Technology to embed sustainable processes for legacy, in-flight, and future data holdings. The position is dedicated to EHDS and may support closely related Clinical Data Transparency priorities where required to deliver EHDS outcomes or maintain the resulting data cataloging capabilities.
01Leads the EHDS Data Inventory and Cataloging workstream and coordinates data owners and functional representatives to identify the universe of in-scope datasets, data sources, and holdings requiring assessment.
02Establishes and maintains a complete inventory of in-scope data, including ownership, applicable EHDS data category, key asset characteristics, source, status, and relevant dependencies.
03Applies and maintains the classification approach for in-scope holdings against the applicable EHDS secondary-use data categories and implementation requirements.
04Applies the target metadata standard, including HealthDCAT-AP where required, so that catalogue entries are complete, consistent, interoperable, and discoverable by Health Data Access Bodies and prospective data users.
05Develops and maintains the minimum metadata requirements, decision framework, classification guidance, data-owner instructions, and controls required for consistent cataloging across functions and geographies.
06Coordinates with data owners to obtain, validate, and maintain required dataset information; identifies gaps or delays and drives resolution through the appropriate governance channels.
07Supports functions in determining the data holder position for datasets and coordinates with Legal and other subject matter experts where ownership, control, or EHDS responsibility requires assessment.
08Drives completeness and quality reviews of the inventory, identifies gaps in functional or geographic coverage, and coordinates remediation with accountable data owners.
09Registers and maintains dataset descriptions in the required catalogues or submission environments, coordinates corrections when information changes, and leads periodic verification to keep metadata accurate and current.
10Defines and operationalizes the approach to applicable data quality and utility labeling requirements in partnership with relevant subject matter experts and data owners.
11Partners with Data Sharing to ensure catalogue descriptions remain aligned with downstream data preparation, minimization, anonymization or pseudonymization, and intellectual property or trade secret review processes.
12Works with Technology and relevant data architecture teams to define and implement fit-for-purpose solutions for creating, maintaining, controlling, and publishing catalogue information.
13Embeds EHDS data identification and cataloging requirements into processes for new and future data holdings so that the inventory remains current as the data landscape evolves.
14Plans and leads pilot cataloging activities, evaluates findings, and refines processes, controls, guidance, and training before broader implementation.
15Establishes standard operating procedures, work instructions, training, quality controls, and performance measures for data inventory, cataloging, classification, and metadata management.
16Monitors evolving EHDS implementing acts, technical specifications, and catalogue requirements and incorporates confirmed changes into the operating process, metadata approach, and guidance.
17Identifies needs for external services or technology and supports vendor evaluation, onboarding, and oversight, including services for legacy data cataloging or catalogue solution support.
18Provides subject matter expertise, coaching, and practical support to data owners and functional teams; may provide matrix leadership or manage others based on business need.
19Integrates Johnson & Johnson's Credo and Leadership Imperatives into team goals, decisions, and ways of working.
