Product Director, Evinova Platform Ecosystem Partnerships Lead 

In the Product Director of Evinova Platform Ecosystem Partnerships role, you will play a pivotal role in driving the growth and success of our Evinova’s products and drive a roadmap to help our platform enable a ‘network effect’ via our connected ecosystem.

Why Evinova (AstraZeneca)? 

Evinova leverages AstraZeneca’s vast experience in developing novel therapeutics, drawing on insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we aim to accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, enhance the design and execution of clinical trials, and think holistically about patient care before, during, and after treatment. 
 

Regulators, healthcare professionals, and clinical trial teams don’t want a fragmented approach, where each pharmaceutical company offers its own digital solutions. They want sector-wide solutions that streamline their workload and broadly benefit patients. By extending our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can foster a more unified approach to developing and deploying digital technologies, improving outcomes for teams, physicians, and ultimately, patients.
