Business Case & Value Realization: Build robust business cases (benefits, costs, risks, scenarios) and define measurable value frameworks (cycle-time reduction, data quality, patient retention, site burden, cost avoidance). Track and report realized value post-implementation.
Protocol Development Support: Contribute to study protocol design where digital tools are used (e.g., endpoint rationale, sensor selection, sampling frequency, feasibility, burden, data flows, and risk management). Ensure alignment with therapeutic area strategy and regulatory expectations.
Protocol Feasibility and Execution: Use tools to support clinical development and operations teams in optimizing protocols through AI-driven solutions to minimize cost, accelerate timelines, improve patient and site experience, and minimize environmental impact without compromising scientific quality.
Implementation & Evaluation: Lead pilots and scaled implementations of digital health technologies, including feasibility studies, validation frameworks, vendor due diligence, interoperability planning, data governance, and change management.
P&L Ownership: Own engagement-level P&L, including pricing, margin management, backlog forecasting, and utilization planning. Drive account growth through proposal development, upsell, and cross-sell.
People Leadership: Identify and nurture key talent to develop a group of industry-leading digital health consultants.
