Location: Barcelona, Spain (on-site) 3 days/week working from the office. Evinova   is a leading health tech   company enabling   global life sciences to accelerate better health outcomes, by creating   AI-native   digital health solutions for clinical research. We are a separate business within the AstraZeneca group.   We’re   hiring   a Sr. Design Researcher   to join   Evinova’s   Barcelona-based   Study Designer   team   operating   at   the intersection of AI, digital health, and clinical innovation .   Our   Study Designer solution empowers clinical teams to   optimize   and automate the design   and feasibility   of clinical studies   and the authoring of   corresponding   study documentation . This is not a conventional design   research   role —   we’re   building   something new, and we need design   research   leads who are ready to do the same.   Our context is defined by overlapping transformations. On one side, artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how we work — augmenting creativity, accelerating collaboration between disciplines, and creating new ways to explore, test, and refine ideas. On the other side, the solution spaces we work in — clinical trials   execution ,   study   design   and document authoring   — are also shifting rapidly, driven by new data streams, AI-powered automation, and   innovative approaches to running clinical trials .   As a   Sr. Design Researcher ,   you’ll   help   us   transition to a   working model that balances   continuous discovery   with publishable strategic research.   In your role, you will support   the   cross-functional team   as they   lead their own   high-quality   discovery research . This will involve   conducting   research training workshops and guiding the creation and execution of the research. In parallel,   you’ll   lead research work that brings   our thought leadership to the forefront through published articles, white papers and conference presentations that spotlight our long-shelf-life strategic research which informs our product   strategy   and design roadmaps. Moreover,   y ou’ll   be a key partner in shaping how we use AI as a creative collaborator, not just a tool — helping us move faster and more intelligently .   This role requires a mindset that is not daunted by   ambiguity   or   complexity. The   evolving world of clinical trial design   involves a wide variety of user profiles, multi-step workflows that play out over   long periods   of time and an incredibly high bar for quality. Success also means   carrying a deep   aware ness   of   the   regulatory and ethical requirements   that are not only considerations for our product design responsibilities but also for those who use our tools.     We’re   looking for:     Deeply collaborative, T-shaped   research   practitioners   who can   conduct or support (depending on the ne e d in the moment) a wide variety of research methodologies from generative research to concept feedback sessions to rigorous usability studies, as well as run cross-functional training workshops to upskill product, design , data   science   and engineering peers   to   ensure that research outcomes are being appropriately infused into our Study Designer roadmap.   Highly autonomous, self-directed   researchers   who act with positive agency: seeking out new opportunities for collaboration, proactively navigating ambiguity, and shaping new practices as the context evolves   Researchers   with AI fluency   — not necessarily technical experts, but people who are curious and excited about working with generative and agentic AI as part of their   research   process   People who thrive in complexity , balancing near-term delivery with long-term vision, and who are energised by change and challenge rather than constrained by them   This is a chance to help define not just the future of digital health — but the future of digital design in a world where the boundaries between people, tools, and disciplines are being redrawn in real time .     Key Responsibilities:   Accountable for the full spectrum of   research   activities   and methods across   different stages   in the product lifecycle by either guiding cross-functional teams to conduct research or   by   designing and running research independently.   Collaborate closely with product ,   design   and engineering leads to ensure cohesive   research   strategy   and   tight   research   objective   to method   alignment .   Translate highly technical workflows into   meaningful artifacts, including   user-friendly   journey maps and user profiles.     Identif y   opportunities to use AI to   expedite   our research process without   impacting   quality , including using vibe coding to rapidly create prototypes for use in research sessions   S timulat e   conceptual thinking and creativity and challeng e   the status quo   towards   continuous improvement.    Work closely with   other researchers as well as design leads   to   ensure   coherent user experience across user domains and products .   Ensure that cross-functional product teams are actively immersed in the research insights rather than passively listening to Power P oint presentations.   Capturing research insights in product tools ,   like   ProductBoard ,   and ensuring that our learnings inform the   Evinova   Design System .    Collaboratively partnering with the   cross-functional   team   while also holding them accountable   to ensure that research   insights are appropriately   reflected in the roadmap.    Mentor and develop junior   researchers , fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within the team     Key Attributes :   Experience in   independently   leadin g   research end-to-end, including foundational,   generative   and usability-focused methods   E xpertise   in   tightly   align ing   research   objectives   to method   Exemplary command of both written and spoken English   combined with   ability to communicate with sophistication and clarity   Proficiency   with   online research   tools   and   familiarity with   rapid   prototyping tools   Strong commitment to inclusive design, accessibility, and usability , and to   delivering outcomes to   key metrics    Excellent collaboration, and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams   Experience in   operating   as an independent   researcher   on   highly complex   B2B or B2B2C software   Based in Gothenburg or Barcelona, with willingness to collaborate in-office with   cross-functional   teams   Willingness to travel for research, project delivery, and workshops   Ability to   operate   at pace and navigate changes in scope and approach based on shifting market signals and customer demand,   while   keeping   up with   evolving   technology     We also value:   Experience in healthcare and/or digital health sectors   Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle   Knowledge of human factors for medical device   requirements and processes .   A non-linear career path and diverse life experiences that enrich your perspective as a designer   A second language (and every   additional   language is a plus)     Why   Evinova ?   At   Evinova , we seize opportunities for change. We push the boundaries of what a life sciences company can achieve through innovative digital solutions. Join us in shaping the future of digital health and be part of an interdisciplinary team that makes a tangible impact on health outcomes around the world.
