Business Integrator / Data Manager

IBRI is poised to transform life sciences—and for millions of people, even life itself.

The Opportunity:

The IBRI is seeking an experienced Senior Business Integrator & Data Architect. As the Senior Business Integrator/Data Architect, you'll be the key connection point between our business teams and the enterprise systems that power the Institute's operations, most notably our CRM platform. You'll translate real business needs into working application solutions, own the configuration of our core systems, and lead technology projects that touch finance, customer relationship management, and administrative operations across the organization. It's a role that blends business analysis, systems administration, data management, and project leadership.

This is ideal for someone who thrives on ownership and wants to see their work create tangible impact in a small, resource-conscious organization where end-to-end system ownership is the norm, not the exception.

Responsibilities:

Business Analysis & Requirements Management

• Gather, document, and analyze business process requirements across IBRI administrative functions, translating stakeholder needs into clear and actionable specifications.
• Evaluate and select appropriate applications and platform configurations to meet evolving business needs, balancing functionality, cost, and long-term maintainability.
• Collaborate with finance, human resources, legal, and other administrative functions to identify opportunities for process improvement and system optimization.

Enterprise Systems Administration & Configuration

• Manage the day-to-day administration, configuration, and continuous optimization of Salesforce CRM, NetSuite Financials, and other IT-managed enterprise systems.
• Ensure data integrity, workflow automation, and alignment with business processes across all core platforms.
• Maintain system performance, scalability, and alignment with evolving organizational needs.
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for Salesforce and NetSuite.

Data Management & Integration

• Note: this role does not own departmental data. Ownership of, and accountability for, the accuracy and appropriate use of data remains with the business function that owns it. This role is not responsible for investigating suspected data misuse or breaches, nor for coordinating with Human Resources on any resulting policy or disciplinary matters.
• Design and coordinate data transfer and synchronization between Salesforce and NetSuite, with NetSuite as the system of record for financial data.
• Define data governance standards, including data quality rules and process controls, in coordination with the teams who administer day-to-day compliance.
• Develop and maintain reporting and dashboards to support data-driven decision-making across the organization.

Project Management & Technology Initiatives

• Lead and manage technology integration projects from initiation through deployment, including scope definition, timeline and financial management, stakeholder communication, and risk mitigation.
• Drive automation initiatives that reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and increase operational efficiency across IT-managed platforms.

User Support & Training

• Support a positive experience for internal customers and end users by troubleshooting issues, providing training, and serving as the primary point of contact for system-related questions.
• Facilitate clear communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Documentation & Compliance

• Document business processes, system configurations, and procedures to support continuity, training, compliance, and audit readiness.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management

• Coordinate with external vendors and consultants, including Salesforce and NetSuite/Oracle ACS partners, as needed to implement, configure, or troubleshoot administrative systems.
• Manage ongoing vendor relationships, support requests, and platform enhancements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, business administration, information systems, or a related discipline.
• 6+ years supporting Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and financial information systems or related technology.
• Demonstrated experience configuring and supporting Salesforce CRM.
• Demonstrated experience configuring and supporting NetSuite Financials.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to translate business requirements into system configurations and functional specifications.
• Proven project management experience, including the ability to manage multiple initiatives concurrently and deliver within scope and timeline.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong documentation discipline, with experience producing clear process and system documentation.
• Prior experience in a non-profit organization or small business environment, where resource constraints require versatility and hands-on system ownership (preferred).
• Familiarity with data integration between CRM and financial systems (preferred).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience in a non-profit organization or small business environment, where resource constraints require versatility and hands-on system ownership.
• Familiarity with data integration between CRM and financial systems.
• Relevant certifications, such as Salesforce Administrator or NetSuite ERP Consultant, are a plus but not required.

Compensation:

Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits offered commensurate with experience.

About Us:

The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) is a first-in-class translational medicine institute dedicated to advancing life sciences in the race to eliminate disease and improve human health and life.

By connecting early-stage biotech companies with cutting-edge life science discoveries —and backed by the mission and resources of industry leaders, investors, and philanthropic partners—IBRI is successfully evolving a new, independent model to conquer disease, uniting previously fragmented forces in the quest for cures.

Carefully curating and supporting early-stage companies with investment, talent, and space, IBRI strategically accelerates drug discovery. Our work benefits from the relatively low cost of living and doing business here, allowing more resources to be directed toward science.

Fueled by the same entrepreneurial creativity as the groundbreaking scientific work we support, IBRI’s labs advance research across the frontiers of diabetes, metabolic disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and rare pediatric diseases. Our ambitious public–private vision cultivates talent while efficiently bridging the gap between research-driven inquiry and profit-driven drug development.

At IBRI, cures are launched on a clear pathway to clinical trials, enabled by the combined resources and experience of our academic and industry partners, without the typical pressure to deliver rapid results for commercialization. IBRI labs pursue breakthroughs that might never happen elsewhere. Breakthroughs are happening here. Our novel financing model ensures that when discoveries are ready for clinical trials, the intellectual property is sold back to industry or spun off, creating a direct stream of revenue.

By every measure, the IBRI model demonstrates a novel approach that delivers rewards. Scientific bench work is nurtured, drug discovery is advanced, workforce development is continuous, investors see returns, and donors see impact. Most importantly, IBRI’s structure and portfolio of accomplishments matter to the patients whose lives are improved—or even saved—by this forward-looking approach to life sciences.

IBRI is driven to bring next-generation therapies to market with an understanding of the complex pressures that often bind innovation to economics. After more than a decade, the evidence is clear: IBRI is poised to transform life sciences—and for millions of people, even life itself.

Equal Employment Opportunity:

The IBRI provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants and does not discriminate based on age, race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status.
