Project Manager - Data2Evidence

About The Role

We are looking for a structured, proactive, and outward-facing Project Manager to drive the operational delivery and ecosystem growth of Data2Evidence.

In this role, you will ensure that product development, deployments, and partner collaborations run smoothly, on time, and in alignment with strategic goals. Beyond internal coordination, you will actively contribute to business development activities, support new partnership initiatives, and represent Data2Evidence at conferences and industry events.

You will work closely with the Product Manager and the Customer Success Engineer, forming the operational and strategic core of the Data2Evidence team. While the Product Manager defines what we build and why, and the Customer Success Engineer ensures technical partner success, you will ensure reliable execution, strong external relationships, and sustainable growth of our research ecosystem.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, healthcare research, and partnerships and enjoys turning complexity into structured delivery while confidently representing the product externally.
