Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate has a strong grasp of Agile principles, project planning, and stakeholder communication, and is passionate about improving access to clinical trials
- Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Business, Computer Science, or related field
- 3+ experience as a Product Owner or Project Manager in a fast-paced environment
- Proven track record of delivering complex products efficiently and with accountability
- Prior experience in or exposure to clinical trials, clinical research, or healthcare technology is a significant plus
- Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies, with advanced proficiency in tools like Jira and Confluence
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders
What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly accountable, execution-driven Product Owner to lead the development and delivery of user-facing applications that power the Trial Library clinical trial matching and navigation platform
- This hybrid role bridges the gap between business needs, product development, and project delivery, playing a key role in developing the user-facing applications of Trial Library’s suite of solutions to facilitate identifying, referring, and enrolling patients into clinical trials
- This position is critical to maintaining the highest quality standards as we work towards our company mission
- You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the timely and high-quality delivery of product features and project milestones
- Own and manage the product backlog; write user stories, define acceptance criteria, and prioritize features aligned with business objectives
- Act as a single point of accountability for on-time, high quality delivery of sprint commitments and product milestones
- Collaborate with UX/UI, developers, and QA teams during sprints to ensure successful delivery
- Ensure product features are aligned with regulatory and compliance requirements in clinical trial settings
- Drive all Agile ceremonies for your product with a focus on velocity, transparency, and continuous improvement, including sprint planning, stand-ups, retros, and reviews
- Track project status, risks, and issues and communicate updates to stakeholders regularly
- Maintain all documentation (e.g. roadmaps, timelines, risk logs) to provide real-time visibility into project status for internal stakeholders and leadership
Our take
Participation in clinical trials is limited, and requires both knowledge of them, and the availability and resources to proceed. As such, it has tended to freeze out a number of key groups who go on to be underrepresented in medical research - especially when it comes to cancer treatments. Public benefit company Trial Library wants to change this.
Trial Library promises to be a platform offering oncology clinicians sponsored opportunities to assess their patients for trial suitability. If successful, the platform will then help patients access resources for the trickier attendance logistics, like travel, food, and other services.
Having come out of stealth just recently, Trial Library is not yet operational - but it’s attracted some strong initial funding to get there. More importantly, it could prove a relatively distinctive offering in a growing field of companies tackling the trial diversity issue.
Startups like Acclinate, Antidote, and SubjectWell help researchers and pharmaceutical companies engage directly with underrepresented communities to advertise trials, whereas Trial Library appears to be more of an assistive tool for clinicians. The addition of logistics resources is a distinctive touch, too, but may need to be fleshed out to pull over customers from better-established rivals.
