Job description

Evinova is a health-tech business within the AstraZeneca Group, created to accelerate better health outcomes by driving digital transformation across the life sciences sector. We bring together science-based expertise, evidence-led rigor, and deep human insight to design digital solutions that help healthcare work better for everyone. Operating at the intersection of healthcare, technology, data, and analytics, we are changing how clinical research is conducted, how care is delivered, and how patients experience it, with solutions built to scale and to deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide.

We are driven by a shared purpose: to transform health through data and digital innovation. Our teams collaborate across fields to solve complex problems, continuously learning and evolving in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

Evinova's portfolio — spanning AI-enabled study design, clinical document authoring, risk-based quality management, and intelligent monitoring — is changing how clinical trials are designed and delivered. But technology alone does not transform an organization; redesigned ways of working, confident people, and measurable adoption do.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborator Engagement & Relationships: Build and maintain working relationships across Therapeutic Areas, Clinical Operations, and enabling functions (e.g., Biometrics, Regulatory, Medical Writing, Quality). Maintain the collaborator landscape map, act as a day-to-day point of contact for adoption, and prepare and support senior-level engagement where needed.
• Process Redesign: Lead process redesign workshops with functional and process owners: document current-state workflows, co-design AI-enabled future-state ways of working, and drive the actions needed to transition, including inputs to the controlled procedure and training updates that a regulated environment requires.
• Workforce Readiness & Capability Building: Deliver role and skills impact assessments, develop and run training and upskilling programs, and help embed responsible, compliant use of AI into daily work.
• Rollout Execution: Manage rollout execution in partnership with Product, Delivery, and customer teams — wave plans, readiness assessments, training logistics, hypercare, and post-launch support — and track issues and risks through to closure.
• Communications &amp
