Barcelona, España AstraZeneca A tiempo completo

**Senior Design Research**er**:

- Digital Health R&D**

Join AstraZeneca and help us deliver life changing medicines by supporting our advancements in digital R&D.

At AstraZeneca, we put patients first and strive to meet their unmet needs worldwide. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you’re our kind of person.

The **Digital Health R&D** Design team** enables better patient and healthcare professional experiences, and transforms health outcomes, by designing digital solutions for clinical trials and real-world healthcare. Design is a critical part of our digital health innovation process, from opportunity identification and early-stage idea generation, through detailed design of digital solutions, until adaptation and scale-up within specific clinical trial or healthcare contexts.

As a **Senior Design **Research**er** **you will be responsible for the research activities that inspire and inform our design work with user insights. Your work will span from foundational and generative research to inform early-stage innovation work, to evaluative research and in-market experiments to drive continuous improvement. Drawing on your broad toolkit of qualitative and quantitative methods, you will select those that are most relevant to the strategy and design choices we need to make. You will work at pace across multiple initiatives, while following best practices for research operations and documentation.

As an internal champion for design research, you will help build capability, involve cross-functional teams in the research process, make research insights systematically available and usable, and evolve our research toolkit.

**On a typical project you will**:

- Scope the required research activities based on a deep understanding of the project goals, business requirements, underlying scientific foundations, and enabling technologies.
- Plan and conduct foundational, generative, and evaluative research.
- Synthesise research outcomes into impactful models and frameworks - such as archetypes, journeys, and user requirement specifications.
- Contribute to an expansive, interdisciplinary research practice that takes advantage of the varied perspectives and contributions of our product, technology, data, clinical and scientific teams.

**Required Skills**:

- A university degree in a relevant design, engineering, or social science field
- Professional experience doing research in a product or service design context
- Proficiency in human-centred design methods, familiarity with agile design principles and ways of working
- Affinity with AstraZeneca’s values, and a passion for crafting digital health solutions that combine the best of design and science
- Strong collaboration, presentation and storytelling skills
- Willingness to travel for research, project delivery, and client meetings

**Desired Skills**:

- A doctorate in a relevant design, engineering or social science field
- Experience in healthcare and/or digital health, including designing and executing human factors evaluations for regulated medical devices
- Published research and/or thought leadership, with a track record of presenting and teaching in public forums and a social media presence.
- Experience working in or with a variety of organisations (e.g. academia, public sector, start-up, corporate, agency/consultancy)
- Varied life experiences that enrich your point of view as a design researcher
- Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle
- A second language (and every additional language is a plus)

This role can be based in Macclesfield, UK; Gothenburg, Sweden; Boston, MA; Gaithersburg, MD; Mississauga, Ontario; or Barcelona, Spain.

**Why AstraZeneca?**

At AstraZeneca when we see an opportunity for change, we seize it and make it happen, because any opportunity no matter how small, can be the start of something big. Delivering life-changing medicines is about being entrepreneurial - finding those moments and recognising their potential. Join us on our journey of building a new kind of organisation to reset expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be. This means we’re opening new ways to work, pioneering cutting edge methods and bringing unexpected teams together. Interested? Come and join our journey.
