About the Role
What You Will Own
Technical Delivery and Dependency Management
- 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 including APIs, shared services, data migrations, and CI/CD constraints before they surface, and coordinate the technical work needed to de-risk them.
- Translate fluently between engineering realities and product and business outcomes so leadership can make informed decisions with a true picture of technical feasibility and risk.
Initiative Leadership and Delivery
- 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 by defining 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.
AI-Native Delivery Management
- Use AI tools such as Claude, GPT, Devin, Copilot, or similar as a daily part of your workflow for generating status summaries, analyzing delivery and engineering data, drafting customer communications, and identifying patterns across initiatives.
- Build and champion AI-assisted delivery practices across your team, automating routine reporting, surfacing technical risks earlier, and freeing the team to focus on what requires genuine judgment.
- Apply rigorous critical thinking to AI-generated output. You are accountable for the accuracy and clarity of everything you communicate, regardless of how it was produced.
- Know the latest with advances in AI-assisted work management and translate those into practical, team-level improvements.
Coordinating and guiding project groups
- Drive continuous planning in collaboration with Product and Engineering leadership.
- Maintain a single, unified picture of the portfolio, where things stand, where they are heading, and what decisions are needed from leadership.
- Use data-driven metrics and performance monitoring to track delivery maturity and align outcomes with product and business value.
- Bring financial accountability to delivery by tracking budgets, flagging variances, and helping leadership make informed resourcing decisions.
Multi-functional Leadership
- Partner with Product Owners, Engineering Leads, Design Leads, and Customer Implementation Leads to align on what “done” looks like and hold the organization accountable to it.
- Negotiate the occasionally unaligned needs of Development and Customer Implementation teams in a professional manner that results in positive outcomes for Evinova.
- Navigate organizational and technical complexity with confidence, building trusted relationships across engineering and product teams and levels without relying on authority alone.
- Represent delivery in leadership forums with clarity, candor, and perspective.
- Work collaboratively in a multi-functional setting with internal and external partners, including global teams.
Delivery Culture and Continuous Improvement
- Model a culture where delivery excellence is an expectation, not an exception.
- Lead retrospectives and drive systemic improvements, not just one-off fixes.
- Help teams distinguish between the noise of day-to-day activity and the signal of what is actually impeding delivery.
- Challenge the status quo, take ownership, and hold yourself and others accountable to outcomes over activity.
What This Role Is Not
A coordination function that raises issues but does not resolve them.
- A status report factory. AI handles the routine; you provide the judgment.
- A role for someone who manages from a distance or treats the technical work as a black box. If you cannot engage with the architecture and dependencies yourself, this is not the right fit.
- A checkbox exercise in delivery process. We want someone who builds the muscle, not just follows the framework.
- A role where AI adoption is optional. We need someone eager to apply AI tools to automate repetitive workflow, apply them organizationally, and train others.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in a technical or engineering field; advanced degree preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in program or delivery management, with a proven track record delivering complex, multi-team software initiatives.
- Experience leading multi-functional programs in a technology or digital product organization, preferably within highly regulated environments with products successfully deployed in production.
- Demonstrable technical depth. You can read and reason about software architecture, APIs, integrations, data flows, environments, and CI/CD pipelines, and hold your own in technical design and planning discussions with senior engineers.
- Hands-on background in software engineering, DevOps, or a comparable technical field, sufficient to break down technical work, own cross-team technical dependencies, and pressure-test engineering estimates and trade-offs.
- Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, create structure where there is not any, and drive outcomes without relying on formal authority.
- Practical, daily experience using AI-assisted tools such as Claude, Copilot, GPT, or similar. You should be able to describe concretely how AI has changed the way you work.
- Superb written and verbal communication. You make complex technical situations clear and know when to advance versus when to solve.
- Experience managing matrixed teams and working globally
Desired Qualifications
- Experience in digital health, life sciences, or other highly regulated technology environments.
- Familiarity with GxP, ICH GCP, FDA 21 CFR, GDPR, or similar standards in a delivery context.
- Global delivery experience across geographies and time zones.
- Experience building or improving delivery management practices from scratch, not just operating within an established framework.
- Pharmaceutical industry or clinical trial platform experience.
- Prior experience as a software engineer, technical lead, solutions architect, or in a comparable hands-on technical role.
- Experience managing delivery financials including budgets, forecasts, and resourcing models.
