Are you ready to be part of the future of healthcare? Can you think big, be bold, and harness the power of digital and AI to tackle longstanding life sciences challenges? Then Evinova might be the perfect next step for you.
We are building software that transforms clinical trials for billions of patients worldwide. Evinova delivers market-leading digital health solutions that are science-based, evidence-led, and human experience-driven. We combine deep scientific expertise with modern software engineering and artificial intelligence to create new standards across the sector.
We’re looking for a Delivery Manager who leads from the front and brings genuine technical depth to the role. You understand how software is architected, built, and integrated — well enough to break down technical work, sequence it, and manage the technical dependencies between teams yourself, not just relay them. You use every tool available — including AI — to drive clarity and outcomes, and you hold the bar high in everything you touch.
About the Role
This role sits at the heart of Evinova’s product and technology organization. You will own the end-to-end delivery of our most critical and complex products and initiatives, ensuring they are delivered with the highest quality into highly regulated environments. You are accountable to the Delivery Director and partner directly with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to make ambiguous, high-stakes technical work happen.
This is not a project coordination role, and it is not a role for someone who manages engineering work from the outside. We are looking for a technically fluent delivery leader who can sit in an architecture or design review and follow it, understand the systems, services, APIs, and data flows behind our products, and reason about the technical dependencies and trade-offs that determine whether a plan will hold. You identify the real blockers (not just the reported ones), map and manage cross-team technical dependencies, challenge plans and estimates that don’t stand up to scrutiny, and drive a clear path forward. You will use AI tools as a core part of how you work — to accelerate your own output, surface insights from delivery and engineering data, and help your teams operate at a higher cadence.
What You Will Own
Technical Delivery & Dependency Management
Break complex, cross-team initiatives down into a technically coherent plan of work — understanding the architecture, services, integrations, and data flows well enough to sequence delivery correctly.
Own the identification, mapping, and active management of dependencies across engineering teams, platforms, and external partners — driving them to resolution rather than logging them.
Engage directly in architecture, design, and technical planning discussions: follow the detail, ask informed questions, and pressure-test engineering estimates, sequencing, and trade-offs.
Anticipate integration, environment, and release risks (APIs, shared services, data migrations, CI/CD constraints) before they surface, and coordinate the technical work needed to de-risk them.
Initiative Leadership & Delivery
Identify dependencies, risks, and blockers early — and drive them to resolution, not just track them.
AI-Native Delivery Management
Use AI tools (Claude, GPT, Devin, Copilot, or similar) as a daily part of your workflow: generating status summaries, analyzing delivery and engineering data, drafting stakeholder communications, and identifying patterns across initiatives.
Strategic Planning & Portfolio Governance
Maintain a single, unified picture of the portfolio — where things stand, where they’re heading, and what decisions are needed from leadership.
Cross-Functional Leadership
Partner with Product Owners, Engineering Leads, Design Leads, and Customer Implementation Leads to align on what “done” looks like — and hold the organization accountable to it.
Delivery Culture & Continuous Improvement
What This Role Is Not
Minimum Qualifications
Demonstrable technical depth: you can read and reason about software architecture, APIs, integrations, data flows, environments, and CI/CD pipelines, and hold your own in technical design and planning discussions with senior engineers.
Hands-on background in software engineering, DevOps, or a comparable technical discipline — sufficient to break down technical work, own cross-team technical dependencies, and pressure-test engineering estimates and trade-offs.
Practical, daily experience using AI-assisted tools (Claude, Copilot, GPT, or similar). You should be able to describe concretely how AI has changed the way you work.
Desired Qualifications
Familiarity with GxP, ICH GCP, FDA 21 CFR, GDPR, or similar standards in a delivery context.
Prior experience as a software engineer, technical lead, solutions architect, or in a comparable hands-on technical role.
What We Look For
We care more about what you can deliver than what you can describe. In our interview process, expect to walk us through real initiatives you’ve led, how you engaged with the technical detail and dependencies, how you used data and AI to drive decisions, and how you’ve navigated the hardest parts of cross-functional delivery. We value leaders who:
Evinova draws on AstraZeneca’s deep experience developing novel therapeutics, informed by insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we 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.
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. We work a minimum of three days per week from the office to maintain the pace, connection, and creative friction that builds great products, while respecting individual flexibility.
Join us on our journey of building a new kind of health tech business to reset expectations of what a biopharmaceutical company can be. This means opening new ways to work, pioneering cutting-edge methods, and bringing unexpected teams together. Interested? Come and join our journey.
