In the Product Director of Evinova Platform Ecosystem Partnerships role, you will play a pivotal role in driving the growth and success of our Evinova's products and drive a roadmap to help our platform enable a 'network effect' via our connected ecosystem. While the initial focus of this role will be scoped to vendors that best enable our core product applications, you will be expected to keep a future-forward lens of developing a profitable partner program in a 'platform as a service' model. Partnering closely with commercial strategy, engineering, and other product teams, you be responsible for identifying, evaluating, and selecting strategic partnerships with third-party data and application vendors.

By fostering these partnerships, you will enhance Evinova's product offerings, expand market reach, and create new revenue streams through reseller agreements. Success in this role will be driven by an entrepreneurial, cross-functional partnership, and platform mindset.

• Assess the potential for reseller partnerships and explore opportunities to create mutually beneficial arrangements.

Partnership Development and Management:

• Support our commercial teams in negotiating and establishing strategic partnerships with selected vendors, ensuring favorable terms and conditions. Create value-cases for appropriate approaches i.e. reseller or co-development partnership models.

• Create frameworks to catalog available partners in a marketplace format, highlighting capabilities, creating mechanisms for which partner is best for a given product or customer use case. Include available data sets and usability permissions.

• Monitor partner performance and address any issues or challenges that may arise.

• Work closely with product application and engineering teams to integrate third-party data and applications seamlessly into our platform.

• Ensure that integrations meet our quality standards and deliver value to our customers.

• Identify opportunities to leverage partner capabilities to enhance our product offerings and differentiate our solutions.

Partner Program Development:

• Define partner tiers, benefits, and expectations to foster a thriving ecosystem.

• Implement processes and tools to support partner onboarding, training, and enablement.

• Own the business plan and roadmap to foster the partner program into a revenue generating platform as a service product that serves as an onramp to upsell additional core Evinova products.

• Own the roadmap to create a 'marketplace' of vendor and internal platform service, data, and apps first for internal developers, always with the external partner program future in mind.

• Measure and analyze the impact of partnerships on market share, customer acquisition, and revenue growth.

Why Evinova (AstraZeneca)?

Evinova leverages AstraZeneca's vast experience in developing novel therapeutics, drawing on insights from thousands of patients and clinical researchers. Together, we aim to accelerate the delivery of life-changing medicines, enhance the design and execution of clinical trials, and think holistically about patient care before, during, and after treatment.

By extending our solutions to the wider healthcare community, we can foster a more unified approach to developing and deploying digital technologies, improving outcomes for teams, physicians, and ultimately, patients.

Evinova presents a unique opportunity to deliver meaningful outcomes using digital tools and AI, setting new standards in healthcare. Join us as we build a new kind of health tech company, one that redefines what a biopharmaceutical company can achieve.
