• Trial Tracking & Investigator Support
• Serve as the primary operational point of contact for external clinicians managing Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs).
• Maintain rigorous tracking systems for milestones, data collection timelines, and budget disbursements for all ongoing IITs.
• Ensure external investigators comply with study agreements, safety reporting, and data publication timelines.

• Regulatory, IRB & Compliance Documentation
• Lead the drafting, formatting, and submission of Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications, amendments, and annual renewals.
• Cross-functionally collaborate with Engineering and Quality Assurance (QA) teams to organize, maintain, and audit internal Verification and Validation (V&V) documentation.
• Ensure all trial master files (TMF) and study documentation are audit-ready and compliant with FDA, ISO 14155, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.

• Leadership & Operations
• Manage, mentor, and delegate tasks to a Clinical Coordinator, ensuring efficient daily operational workflows.
• Keep internal stakeholders (R&D, Regulatory, and Executive teams) updated on trial metrics, data collection bottlenecks, and compliance health.

 

Qualifications

• Experience: 4–6+ years of clinical research experience within the medical device, medtech, or digital health space.

• Skills: Demonstrated success handling IRB submissions, maintaining TMFs, and tracking multisite trials or IITs.
• Knowledge: Deep familiarity with medical device documentation, internal V&V processes, GCP, and FDA regulations.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in a scientific, nursing, or healthcare-related field (CCRP or CCRA certification is a strong plus).
