During the implementation phase, you will act as the critical bridge between R&D business stakeholders, the IT team, and the software vendor. You will lead solution design activities, translate complex business requirements into clear functional specifications and process flows, support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), facilitate alignment workshops, and drive change management and user onboarding to ensure a successful platform rollout.
Beyond go-live, you will take ownership of lifecycle management: prioritizing enhancements, supporting releases, monitoring solution performance, and ensuring sustainable adoption and business value realization. Working across a global matrix organization, you will collaborate closely with R&D users, IT partners, and the software provider — and may also contribute your analytical expertise to broader digital R&D initiatives in the clinical trial space.
This position is based in Spain, preferably Barcelona or Madrid, but other locations in Spain may also be considered.

You are familiar with clinical trial systems and clinical trial data standards, and can navigate a global matrix organization to build trusted relationships across R&D, IT, and external partners.
