Own priority trade-off decisions balancing customer opportunity/commitments, user needs, and available capacity with inputs from your cross-functional team

Translate complex stakeholder requirements (from both economic buyers and end users) into elegant product solutions that serve multiple constituencies and balance speed and scale

Think beyond just estimating cost, to the connection points of cost drivers throughout the Study Design & Planning modules, creative opportunities to optimize cost, and the collaboration impacts of making changes to the design to reduce cost

Contribute to business cases that connect product capabilities to measurable customer value and revenue impact

User Research & Experience

Coordinate and conduct UX research initiatives both independently and in partnership with UX Research professionals

Conduct user interviews, usability testing, and workflow analysis on an ad-hoc basis to help rapidly validate assumptions and form perspectives

Synthesize research findings into actionable roadmap inputs, ensuring user insights directly influence product priorities and feature decisions

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
