Introduction to Role:

This role is central to Evinova’s success. We are establishing the teams, processes, and capabilities needed to ensure seamless configuration, validation, and sustained support of our products across global clinical trials. Our goal is to deliver reliable, compliant, and high-quality technical solutions that bring study protocols to life through a consistent, patient-centric digital experience.

You will play a pivotal role in shaping how our product is brought to life for each study. Working in close partnership with Commercial, Delivery, Product, and Clinical teams, you will ensure our products are accurately configured, thoroughly tested, and continuously supported throughout the study lifecycle. Your leadership will drive operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and trusted delivery, differentiating Evinova through quality and service.

Accountabilities:

This is a high-impact role; the teams you lead directly impact patient experience and you can shape how Evinova delivers its digital clinical trial solutions to sponsors and studies. 

• Study Implementation & Configuration:  You’ll lead teams responsible for translating complex clinical protocols and sponsor requirements into platform configurations, ensuring timely and accurate deployment. You’ll establish scalable, repeatable processes that enable rapid study start-up while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and quality.
• Ongoing Maintenance & Technical Support: Beyond initial implementation, you’ll ensure each study continues to run smoothly throughout its lifecycle. This includes owning the processes for technical maintenance, issue resolution, and updates or reconfigurations. You’ll build frameworks to support long-term study success, reducing cost, downtime and enhancing user satisfaction across patients, sites, and sponsors.
• Team Leadership & Capability Building:  You’ll build and lead high-performing technical delivery teams, fostering a culture of ownership, learning, and continuous improvement. You’ll set clear expectations, provide mentorship and direction, and create pathways for growth as the team scales with the business. You’ll also define best practices for delivery, configuration, and study validation across the team.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Clinical, and Delivery teams to ensure study-specific configurations are feasible, efficient, and aligned with the platform’s technical capabilities. While you won’t own the core product roadmap, you’ll provide critical input based on real-world delivery experience and operational feedback.
• Regulatory Compliance & Validation: Operating in a GxP and SaMD-regulated environment, you’ll ensure that all study configurations, testing activities, and documentation meet relevant quality and regulatory standards
