Delivery Manager - Evinova

Are you ready to be part of the future of healthcare? Can you think big, be bold, and harness the power of digital and AI to tackle longstanding life sciences challenges? Then Evinova, a health tech business part of the AstraZeneca Group, might be for you.

We are building software that transforms clinical trials for billions of patients worldwide. Evinova delivers market-leading digital health solutions that are science-based, evidence-led, and human experience-driven. We combine deep scientific expertise with modern software engineering and artificial intelligence to create new standards across the sector.

We’re looking for a Delivery Manager who leads from the front and brings genuine technical depth to the role. You understand how software is architected, built, and integrated — well enough to break down technical work, sequence it, and manage the technical dependencies between teams yourself, not just relay them. You use every tool available — including AI — to drive clarity and outcomes, and you hold the bar high in everything you touch.

This role sits at the heart of Evinova’s product and technology organization. You will own the end-to-end delivery of our most critical and complex products and initiatives, ensuring they are delivered with the highest quality into highly regulated environments. You are accountable to the Delivery Director and partner directly with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to make ambiguous, high-stakes technical work happen.

This is not a project coordination role, and it is not a role for someone who manages engineering work from the outside. We are looking for a technically fluent delivery leader who can sit in an architecture or design review and follow it, understand the systems, services, APIs, and data flows behind our products, and reason about the technical dependencies and trade-offs that determine whether a plan will hold.

You identify the real blockers (not just the reported ones), map and manage cross-team technical dependencies, challenge plans and estimates that don’t stand up to scrutiny, and drive a clear path forward. You will use AI tools as a core part of how you work — to accelerate your own output, surface insights from delivery and engineering data, and help your teams operate at a higher cadence.

• Break complex, cross-team initiatives down into a technically coherent plan of work — understanding the architecture, services, integrations, and data flows well enough to sequence delivery correctly.
• Own the identification, mapping, and active management of dependencies across engineering teams, platforms, and external partners — driving them to resolution rather than logging them.
• Engage directly in architecture, design, and technical planning discussions: follow the detail, ask informed questions, and pressure-test engineering estimates, sequencing, and trade-offs.
• Anticipate integration, environment, and release risks (APIs, shared services, data migrations, CI/CD constraints) before they surface, and coordinate the technical work needed to de-risk them.
• Translate fluently between engineering realities and product/business outcomes so leadership can make informed decisions with a true picture of technical feasibility and risk.

• Own the delivery of Evinova’s most complex multi-functional initiatives, from framing through execution to value realization.
• Identify dependencies, risks, and blockers early — and drive them to resolution, not just track them.
• Lead initiative governance: define the right cadences, the right metrics, and the right customers in the room.
• Maintain integrated delivery plans that reflect reality, not just aspiration — grounded in an accurate understanding of the underlying technical work.
• Manage resources and delivery plans with full accountability to the Delivery Director and Head of Delivery Excellence.
• Ensure Evinova’s products are delivered with high quality and in compliance with Standard Operating Procedures and Policies.
