About the role
- As Product Director, you will operate with significant autonomy and act as the general manager for your product area at Evinova.
- Architect the product with AI and machine learning at its core-for example: intelligent automation, contextual recommendations, predictive insights, and generative AI-powered workflows that reduce effort for end users.
- Meet users where they are and guide them through their change management journey-earning adoption by easing the transition to new, AI-enabled ways of working rather than forcing it.
Responsibilities
- Develop a deep, first-hand understanding of our users, their problem spaces, and their day-to-day workflows-pinpointing where the product can deliver step-function impact rather than incremental gains.
- Drive rapid hypothesis validation through prototyping and experimentation.
- Own the full product lifecycle end-to-end: from concept and design through development, launch, go-to-market, and post-launch iteration informed by usage data and customer feedback.
- Lead AI-Native product development
- Collaborate closely with data science and engineering teams to translate ground breaking AI capabilities into practical, regulation-aware product features.
- Design for the end user first-building intuitive, collaborative workflows that reduce burden and enable clinical development and clinical operations teams to work seamlessly together, with connectivity across Evinova's modules.
- Maintain a sharp point of view on the evolving clinical trial and AI landscape-proactively finding opportunities to apply emerging capabilities to the challenges faced by clinical development and clinical operations teams.
- Drive strategic leadership across Evinova
- Partner with a matrixed product organization to drive connectivity across Evinova's modules and inform the product roadmap.
- Partner with commercial to ensure the product does not over-fit to any one customer.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product management experience
- Bachelor's Degree
- Demonstrated experience of at least 3 years in a director-level or senior product leadership capacity owning a product area end-to-end.
- Domain experience in clinical trials or life sciences.
- Demonstrated entrepreneurial track record: you have taken at least one product from zero to one-as a founder, early-stage PM, or intrapreneur within a larger organization.
- You can point to products you conceived, shipped, and scaled.
- Proven ability to operate in enterprise B2B SaaS environments, including navigating complex customer landscapes, long sales cycles, and platform-level product decisions.
- Domain experience in clinical trials or life sciences. You bring a deep understanding of the clinical development and clinical operations personas, know the clinical ecosystem (EDC, CDMS, CTMS, eTMF), and can engage credibly with clinical operations leaders, medical directors, biostatisticians, data managers, and regulatory professionals.
- Demonstrated entrepreneurial track record: you have taken at least one product from zero to one-as a founder, early-stage PM, or intrapreneur within a larger organization. You can point to products you conceived, shipped, and scaled.
- Deep, hands-on experience building AI/ML-powered products. You understand model development lifecycles, training data strategies, prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and the unique UX challenges of AI-driven features. AI fluency is non-negotiable for this role.
- Strong technical skill: comfortable partnering directly with engineers and data scientists, reviewing technical specifications, and contributing to architectural trade-off decisions.
- AI Fluency Expectations
- You use AI tools daily in your own workflow-for research, analysis, writing, prototyping, and decision-making-and can articulate how AI is transforming product development practices.
- You can evaluate AI/ML model outputs, reason about precision/recall trade-offs, and make informed product decisions around model thresholds, confidence scoring, and human-in-the-loop design patterns.
- You maintain a current and informed perspective on the AI landscape-foundation models, agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation, fine-tuning-and have a point of view on how these capabilities apply to regulated industries like clinical research.
Nice to have
