• Agile & Lean Delivery: Select and manage the right toolsets for the product team. Translate complex business requirements into actionable technical tasks applying Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and Lean Programming (LEAP) methodologies to eliminate process waste and continuously optimize development velocity.
• Risk Management: Proactively identify and mitigate technical and architectural risks. Establish and track software quality metrics to ensure absolute data integrity and system performance across all clinical environments.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Strategic Liaison: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for stakeholders across R&D and Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CDMA).
• Bridging Tech and Science: Partner closely with the Head of Product to translate the "Digital Endgame" business strategy into executable technical roadmaps.
