Introduction to role

Are you ready to redefine digital health solutions? Evinova, a dynamic entity within the AstraZeneca group, is seeking a Design Lead to join our Study Design & Planning team in Barcelona. We operate at the intersection of AI, digital health, and clinical innovation, crafting solutions that accelerate better health outcomes globally. This role is not conventional; it requires a visionary who can navigate the evolving landscapes of artificial intelligence and healthcare, transforming ideas into impactful digital solutions. As a Design Lead, you'll be pivotal in reshaping the product lifecycle, leveraging AI as a creative collaborator to enhance discovery, design, and delivery processes. Your designs will support clinical site staff, hospital operations teams, sponsors, and patients, ensuring compliance with regulatory and ethical standards while addressing real-world complexities.

• Deeply collaborative, T-shaped design practitioners who can understand and engage with multiple perspectives without thinking UI first — and extend the scope of design impact across the product development process
• Highly autonomous, self-directed design leads who act with positive agency : seeking out new opportunities for collaboration, proactively navigating ambiguity, and shaping new practices as the context evolves
• Designers with AI fluency — not necessarily technical experts, but people who are curious and excited about working with generative and agentic AI as part of their design process
• People who thrive in complexity, balancing near-term delivery with long-term vision, and who are energised by change and challenge rather than constrained by them

Accountabilities

• Accountable for the full spectrum of design activities, guiding the team's work from discovery, through rapid prototyping of high-level solution concepts to detailed interaction and visual design, ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs.
• Identifies and delivers non-UI based elements of the solution via automation and process design where appropriate as part of an end-to-end approach.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering leads of the team, forming a three-legged stool leadership structure to ensure cohesive strategy and delivery.
• Stimulate conceptual thinking and creativity and challenge the status quo towards continuous improvement.
• Work closely with other Design Leads to ensure coherent user experience across user domains and products.
• Contribute to and define the Evinova Design System and supporting implementation of new and efficient tools.
• In collaboration with others, define, plan and participate in iterative user testing and use findings to inform and improve design decisions.
• Mentor and develop junior designers, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within the team.
• Develop prototypes that reflect real-world scenarios and integrate AI-driven automation.
• Translate highly technical workflows into user-friendly concepts.
• Create production-ready designs in collaboration with front-end developers.
• Experience in leading small design teams across the product development lifecycle, with a proven track record of deploying and scaling digital solutions.
• Strong expertise in interaction design, and information architecture.
• Proficiency with modern research, design, content design and rapid prototyping tools and methodologies in agile environments.
• Strong commitment to inclusive design, accessibility, and usability, and to delivering design outcomes to key metrics.
• Excellent collaboration, and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
• Experience in operating as an independent designer or design leader on highly complex B2B or B2B2C software.
• Based in Barcelona, with willingness to collaborate in-office with engineering teams.
• Willingness to travel for research, project delivery, and workshops.
• Coding or software development experience.
• Experience in healthcare and / or digital health sectors.
• Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle.
• A non-linear career path and diverse life experiences that enrich your perspective as a designer.
• A second language (and every additional language is a plus).
