Head of Product, Clinical Trial Financial Management

A PharmaTech Stealth Company Co-founded by Industry Veteran and Redesign Health

We are launching a software solution that streamlines clinical trial financial management workflows by addressing core operational and administrative frictions to reduce sponsor costs and trial delays. Clinical trial financial management workflows largely rely on a combination of paper records, disparate spreadsheets and primitive software. This underpins the largely manual processes, fragmented/siloed data and lack of insights, which force sponsors to be reactive rather than proactive, contributing to avoidable trial delays and increased costs. Targeting the root cause of much of the inefficiency that exists today, StealthCo (Clinical Trial Finance Mgmt) is a planning and analytics platform built specifically for clinical trial sponsors and clinical research organizations.

We estimate that the initial addressable market is $2.5B+ with expansion opportunities based on add-on and tangential products!

You will lead the strategic product roadmap, project prioritization, coordination of user input, and design of a new SaaS-based B2B enterprise product to be used by life sciences companies and clinical research organizations. Use of the platform will streamline administrative and financial processes leading to greater efficiencies including faster and less costly clinical studies.
