Role Overview: Seeking Product Owner with strong business acumen and hands-on knowledge of the clinical trial space to help shape and deliver solutions supporting clinical development and clinical operations. These roles will partner closely with business stakeholders to understand clinical trial workflows, identify opportunities for improvement, and translate business needs into clear product priorities and actionable requirements. The emphasis is on clinical domain expertise, stakeholder engagement, and business outcomes—not hands-on software development. The draft scope reflects comparable clinical product roles that bridge business objectives and technical delivery, own prioritized backlogs, and translate clinical workflows into product requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Serve as the primary product partner for clinical business stakeholders, understanding their goals, operational challenges, and priorities.
  • Lead discovery sessions and workflow discussions to identify user needs, process gaps, and improvement opportunities across the clinical trial lifecycle.
  • Translate business needs into product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and prioritized backlog items.
  • Own and maintain the product backlog, balancing business value, user impact, dependencies, and delivery effort.
  • Partner with clinical operations, clinical development, data management, and other relevant teams to align product priorities with business objectives.
  • Collaborate with engineering, design, and quality teams to clarify requirements and support delivery.
  • Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, product demonstrations, and release planning.
  • Coordinate business reviews and user acceptance testing to confirm delivered capabilities meet agreed requirements.
  • Work with quality and compliance stakeholders to incorporate applicable requirements into product decisions.
  • Support user adoption through stakeholder communication, training coordination, and feedback collection.
  • Define and monitor success measures such as adoption, workflow efficiency, and user satisfaction.
Required Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated experience as a Product Owner, Business Product Owner, Product Manager, or Business Analyst with meaningful product ownership responsibilities.
  • Direct experience in clinical trials or clinical development within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, or clinical technology organization.
  • Strong understanding of clinical trial workflows and the needs of clinical business users.
  • Ability to translate complex business processes into clear requirements and prioritized deliverables.
  • Strong business judgment, including the ability to evaluate trade-offs and explain the value behind product priorities.
  • Experience managing a product backlog and working with Agile delivery teams.
  • Strong stakeholder management, facilitation, and communication skills.
  • Experience supporting user acceptance testing and business readiness.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams; coding experience is not required.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with clinical operations, study startup, trial management, site management, monitoring, or clinical data management.
  • Experience with clinical platforms such as CTMS, EDC, eTMF, or related trial-management solutions.
  • Experience improving clinical processes or supporting digital transformation initiatives.
  • Familiarity with regulated clinical environments and collaboration with quality or compliance teams.
  • Product Owner or Agile certification.
