About the opportunity

We are looking for a Clinical Research Associate to join our Surgery team. Our surgery products and therapies provide a wide range of research opportunities from deeper learnings of key clinical outcomes to exploring mechanisms of actions for products under development. Join our driven, innovative team and take the opportunity to learn directly from global clinical experts as we work towards improving the standard of care and improve outcomes of surgery.

This is a key role in a multi-disciplinary project team focused on a specific surgery product which is at the very early phases of research and development. You will contribute to the entire life cycle of product development by delivering timely results through understanding the problem, ideation, testing, building evidence, through to commercial release.

You will:

• Help a multi-disciplinary project team to solve challenges and uncertainties by applying physiological knowledge and clinical research.
• Work with the project team to gain understanding of therapy benefits and risks by performing literature searches and sharing information with the team.
• Design and manage studies (preclinical, clinical) at various stages of the project to create an understanding or evidence to support the project objectives.
• Help identify the right clinical evidence for a product/therapy and identify how best to build evidence to support it.
• Identify and build relationships with key opinion leaders to both leverage their expertise to support the project and influence to support driving clinical change.
• Support regulatory reviews and submissions.
• Support sales and marketing by developing clinical material, abstracts, posters, manuscripts and presentations to help educate customers about the benefits and use of our products.
• Create and conduct clinical training and education to a variety of audiences.
• Be able to recognise opportunities and the work to be done then be willing to do what is required even if it stretches you outside of your expertise.

About you

We are looking for someone with:

• The ability to search, analyse, and summarise clinical literature.
• The ability to think outside the box and apply scientific knowledge to progress the development, introduction, adoption and sales growth of medical devices.
• The ability to understand the medical device design challenges and assess their implication on clinical application, and be able to implement a solution together with the product development engineers. It is vital that you are a team player with the ability to interact and communicate with people coming from diverse disciplinary and the openness to learn outside of your immediate area of expertise.
• Exceptional oral presentation skills to a variety of stakeholders.
• Knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and a strong understanding of research methodology.
• Experience with clinical research (including protocol design, ethics submission, agreements, budgets, and statistical analysis).

It would be advantageous if you have:

• Previous experience in hospital operating rooms and surgical procedures.
