Position Summary

We are looking for a product leader to own and grow CRIO's EDC, eSource, and Integrations product lines, with a mandate to make our eSource-to-sponsor-EDC integration the best in the industry.

The ideal candidate is energetic, self-motivated, hands-on, data-driven, and passionate about achieving strong outcomes for our customers and sponsors. You will lead the EDC, eSource, and Integrations teams, own the roadmap for our existing sponsor EDC integration, and define what "best in class" looks like for the future of eSource-to-EDC connectivity in clinical research. In addition, the ideal candidate has extensive experience working with executive leadership, sponsors, and cross-functional teams within an Agile organization, and can bridge company strategy with hands-on execution across a portfolio of interconnected products.

• KPI Ownership and Data-Driven Decision-Making: Partner with senior leadership to define, quantify, and track the KPIs that determine the success of the sponsor EDC integration offering; use data, customer feedback, and market research to guide decisions and demonstrate ROI.
• Cross-Functional Stakeholder Alignment: Build and maintain strategic relationships with Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and sponsor/CRO partners to align priorities and drive adoption of the roadmap.
• Design Partnership and UX Quality: Partner closely with design to ensure product requirements for each team's experience are clear and complete, and that resulting designs follow strong UX practices and deliver a cohesive, high-quality user experience.
• Change Management: Lead adoption of new integration capabilities holistically, accounting for process, systems, data flows, documentation, and stakeholder communication across internal teams and external sponsors.
• Portfolio and Backlog Governance: Oversee prioritization frameworks and backlog governance across each team, ensuring committed milestones are met while balancing near-term commitments with the long-term integration vision.
• Risk and Trade-off Management: Identify, communicate, and mitigate product, technical, and compliance risk related to data exchange with sponsor systems, and own the outcomes of difficult trade-off decisions.
• Mentorship Across the Team: Mentor product owners on each team, elevate their strategic and analytical capabilities, and build product management maturity and best practices across the group.
• Agile and Delivery Excellence: Champion agile best practices across each team and partner with engineering leadership on release planning, capacity, and continuous improvement.
• Customer and Sponsor Advocacy: Engage directly with sponsors, CROs, and sites using or evaluating the integration, translating their feedback and workflow needs into product strategy and priorities.
