Senior Director, Clinical Development Change & Transformation Lead

Evinova is a health-tech business within the AstraZeneca Group, created to accelerate better health outcomes by driving digital transformation across the life sciences sector. We bring together science-based expertise, evidence-led rigor, and deep human insight to design digital solutions that help healthcare work better for everyone. Operating at the intersection of healthcare, technology, data, and analytics, we are changing how clinical research is conducted, how care is delivered, and how patients experience it, with solutions built to scale and to deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide. We are driven by a shared purpose: to transform health through data and digital innovation. Our teams collaborate across disciplines to solve complex problems, continuously learning and evolving in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. We are seeking a Director, Clinical Development Change & Transformation Lead to drive the change management and adoption work that turns Evinova's solutions into new ways of working across clinical development. Working within the transformation strategy and roadmap set by Evinova's Clinical Development Digital Innovation & Transformation leadership, you will lead the day-to-day delivery: redesigning processes with functional owners, preparing and equipping the workforce for change, and building the working relationships with Therapeutic Areas and Clinical Operations that turn deployment into real adoption and captured benefit. You will be a visible, trusted presence on the ground in Mississauga — understanding the stakeholder landscape, running rollout and readiness activities, keeping communication and governance cadences moving, and channelling frontline insight and new ideas back to our product teams. As our solutions mature, you will help turn what works into repeatable playbooks and deliverables that support external customers on their own change journeys. This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced change practitioner who combines clinical development fluency with practical transformation delivery — organized, independent amid ambiguity, credible with senior customers, and energized by turning bold technology into real-world change. Responsibilities Change & Adoption Delivery: Lead the delivery of change management and adoption plans for Evinova's AI-enabled solutions across clinical development, translating the transformation strategy and roadmap into actionable workstream plans, turning points, and deliverables. Stakeholder Engagement & Relationships: Build and maintain working relationships across Therapeutic Areas, Clinical Operations, and enabling functions (e.g., Biometrics, Regulatory, Medical Writing, Quality). Maintain the stakeholder landscape map, act as a day-to-day point of contact for adoption, and prepare and support senior-level engagement where needed. Process Redesign: Lead process redesign workshops with functional and process owners: document current-state workflows, co-design AI-enabled future-state ways of working, and drive the actions needed to transition, including inputs to the controlled procedure and training updates that a regulated environment requires. Workforce Readiness & Capability Building: Deliver role and skills impact assessments, develop and run training and upskilling programs, and help embed responsible, compliant use of AI into daily work. Rollout Execution: Manage rollout execution in partnership with Product, Delivery, and customer teams — wave plans, readiness assessments, training logistics, hypercare, and post-launch support — and track issues and risks through to closure. Communications & Governance: Develop and run communication plans and engagement cadences across functions and sites, prepare executive updates and governance mater
