Design Lead â Unified Trial Solution (Evinova)

Evinova enables global life sciences to accelerate better health outcomes by creating digital health solutions for clinical research. We are a separate business within the AstraZeneca group.

Were hiring Design Leads to join Evinovas Unified Trial Solution team in Mississauga Gothenburg and Barcelona operating at the intersection of AI digital health and clinical innovation. This is not a conventional design role were building something new and we need design leads who are ready to do the same.

Our context is defined by overlapping transformations. On one side artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how we work augmenting creativity accelerating collaboration between disciplines and creating new ways to explore test and refine ideas. On the other side the solution spaces we work in clinical trials hospital operations and patient treatment are also shifting rapidly driven by new data streams AI-powered automation and evolving models of care.

As a Design Lead youll help us rethink and accelerate the entire product lifecycle: from identifying high-potential opportunity spaces to prototyping and iterating rapidly to delivering validated production-ready digital solutions. Youll be a key partner in shaping how we use AI as a creative collaborator not just a tool helping us move faster and more intelligently across discovery design and delivery.

Youll also help us design for complex real-world environments. Our products support clinical site staff hospital operations teams and sponsors running clinical trials as well as the patients receiving treatment. That means designing with awareness of regulatory and ethical requirements and with sensitivity to the lived experiences of those on the front lines of care and research.

You will be responsible for leading and guiding the multi-disciplinary design work (experience design content design design research) within a small product team composed of three of four squads.

Were looking for:

• Deeply collaborative T-shaped design practitioners who can understand and engage with multiple perspectives without thinking UI first and extend the scope of design impact across the product development process

• Highly autonomous self-directed design leads who act with positive agency: seeking out new opportunities for collaboration proactively navigating ambiguity and shaping new practices as the context evolves

• Designers with AI fluency not necessarily technical experts but people who are curious and excited about working with generative and agentic AI as part of their design process

• People who thrive in complexity balancing near-term delivery with long-term vision and who are energised by change and challenge rather than constrained by them

This is a chance to help define not just the future of digital health but the future of digital design in a world where the boundaries between people tools and disciplines are being redrawn in real time.

Key Responsibilities:

• Accountable for the full spectrum of design activities guiding the teams work from discovery through rapid prototyping of high-level solution concepts to detailed interaction and visual design ensuring alignment with business goals and user needs.

• Identifies and delivers non-UI based elements of the solution via automation and process design where appropriate as part of an end-to-end approach.

• Collaborate closely with product and engineering leads of the team forming a three-legged stool leadership structure to ensure cohesive strategy and delivery.

• Stimulate conceptual thinking and creativity and challenge the status quo towards continuous improvement.

• Work closely with other Design Leads to ensure coherent user experience across user domains and products.

• Contribute to and define the Evinova Design System and supporting implementation of new and efficient tools.

• In collaboration with others define plan and participate in iterative user testing and use findings to inform and improve design decisions.

• Mentor and develop junior designers fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within the team.

• Develop prototypes that reflect real-world scenarios and integrate AI-driven automation.

• Translate highly technical workflows into user-friendly concepts.

• Create production-ready designs in collaboration with front-end developers.

Key Attributes:

• Experience in leading small design teams across the product development lifecycle with a proven track record of deploying and scaling digital solutions.

• Strong expertise in interaction design and information architecture

• Proficiency with modern research design content design and rapid prototyping tools and methodologies in agile environments.

• Strong commitment to inclusive design accessibility and usability and to delivering design outcomes to key metrics

• Excellent collaboration and storytelling skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.

• Experience in operating as an independent designer or design leader on highly complex B2B or B2B2C software.

• Willingness to travel for research project delivery and workshops.

We also value:

• Coding or software development experience

• Experience in healthcare and/or digital health sectors.

• Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle.

• A non-linear career path and diverse life experiences that enrich your perspective as a designer.

• A second language (and every additional language is a plus).

Why Evinova

Evinova is a global health tech business separate company part of the AstraZeneca group. Together we can accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines improve the design and delivery of clinical trials for better patient experiences and outcomes and think more holistically about patient care before during and after treatment. We know that regulators healthcare professionals and care teams at clinical trial sites do not want a fragmented approach. They do not want a future where every pharmaceutical company provides its own different digital solutions. They want solutions that work across the sector simplify their workload and benefit patients broadly. By bringing our solutions to the wider life sciences community we can help build more unified approaches to how we all develop and deploy digital technologies better serving our teams physicians and ultimately patients. Evinova represents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes with digital and AI to serve the wider healthcare community and create new standards for the sector. Join us on our journey of building a new kind of health tech business to reset expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be. This means were opening new ways to work pioneering cutting-edge methods and bringing unexpected teams together.
