About the Job

Requirements

  • Requires 10+ years of experience in product management, senior business analysis, or hybrid product leadership with complex digital products, plus 5+ years of hands-on experience in clinical trial design, clinical development, or closely related life sciences.
  • A Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, or Information Systems is required.
  • A Master's degree or PhD in a clinical, scientific, or biomedical field is preferred.
  • Proven track record of managing the end-to-end product lifecycle from early discovery to live deployment and value measurement, backed by expert-level skill in writing structured user stories, acceptance criteria, functional specifications, and traceability matrices.
  • Solid understanding of core software development concepts, including APIs, data models, microservices architecture, and cloud-based platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Extensive experience operating within agile/scrum frameworks, hands-on ownership of backlog management and sprint execution, and high proficiency in JIRA, Confluence, and Productboard.
  • Scientific fluency to engage in protocol design and regulatory conversations with physicians and researchers, combined with systems thinking to connect individual features to broader clinical workflows and patient outcomes.
  • Proven ability to lead, build coalitions, and influence senior cross-functional stakeholders without formal authority; comfort with ambiguity when priorities shift or problems are undefined.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the primary link between clinical/scientific teams and product engineering, build long-term relationships, and facilitate discovery workshops with medical experts to understand trial design and represent the clinical user's voice.
  • Define and own the feature roadmap by balancing business, scientific, and technical needs; foster innovation through design thinking sprints to identify opportunities, create business cases, and track feature success metrics and key performance indicators after release.
  • Author precise, actionable user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria; partner with user experience to create wireframes and prototypes, filter requests based on value, and maintain a living product specification traceable to user needs.
  • Translate complex clinical workflows into structured requirements and collaborate with engineers on technical risks, dependencies, and solutions, drawing on literacy in architecture, data modeling, and application programming interfaces.
  • Partner with architects, senior engineers, and quality assurance leads throughout development to ensure feature scalability and quality, and support user acceptance testing design and execution to meet scientific intent and usability standards.
  • Drive iterative delivery, rapid feedback, and hypothesis-driven development; own and groom a sprint-ready product backlog, lead agile ceremonies including planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives, and proactively resolve team impediments or misalignments.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to clinical and scientific leadership, guiding them on how digital capabilities can reshape, optimize, and elevate the way clinical trials are designed.

Desired Qualifications

  • Business Analysis certifications, such as CBAP, are highly valued.
