These projects are highly innovative, and often the first time such technologies are used for clinical research.

Additional responsibilities:

• Scout new opportunities to deploy and develop digital biomarkers in clinical research and clinical practice
• Identify, screen and qualify new customer partnerships and opportunities
• Ensure that our customers have the right understanding of our products and technologies

• Coordinate requirements with the engineering and data science teams, in order to achieve our partners’ goals
• Liaise with Sales, Marketing, and Management to align business strategies
• Represent Empatica among its highest-tier research and business clients
• Make sure that all the backend operations that support Empatica’s execution are properly handled
• Support the Quality Management System within their department
