Director, Clinical Development & Transformation Lead

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.

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.

We are seeking a Director, Clinical Development Change & Transformation Lead to drive the change management and adoption work that turns Evinova's solutions into new ways of working across clinical development — starting with AstraZeneca as our anchor partner and extending to the external sponsors and CROs we serve. Working within the transformation strategy and roadmap set by Evinova's Clinical Development Digital Innovation & Transformation leadership, you will lead the day-to-day delivery: redesigning processes with functional owners, preparing and equipping the workforce for change, and building the working relationships with Therapeutic Areas and Clinical Operations that turn deployment into real adoption and captured benefit.

You will be a visible, trusted presence on the ground in Gaithersburg — understanding the collaborator landscape, running rollout and readiness activities, keeping communication and governance cadences moving, and channelling frontline insight and new ideas back to our product teams. As our solutions mature, you will help turn what works into repeatable playbooks and results that support external customers on their own change journeys.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for an experienced change practitioner who combines clinical development fluency with practical transformation delivery — organized, independent amid ambiguity, credible with senior collaborators, and motivated by turning bold technology into real-world change.
