Job description

Director of Clinical Affairs

We're seeking a Director of Clinical Affairs to own end-to-end execution of regulatory-driven clinical studies for a growing medical device company. This is a hands-on, operationally intense role for someone who has taken devices or SaMD from earliest-stage concept all the way through trial completion and into post-market surveillance — not just a single phase of the lifecycle.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full device/SaMD clinical lifecycle — from early-stage study design through trial execution, final study report, and post-market surveillance
  • Develop study design from scratch in close collaboration with internal management, regulatory advisors, reimbursement specialists, and KOL advisory committees
  • Lead clinical study execution — feasibility, site selection, activation, enrollment, monitoring, and close-out
  • Write and manage IRB/Ethics submissions, informed consent forms, and study essential documents
  • Select, qualify, and oversee third-party clinical sites and investigators as primary point of contact
  • Manage clinical data operations — eCRF design, data review, query resolution, vendor coordination
  • Develop study timelines, budgets, and risk mitigation plans, reporting clearly to leadership
  • Ensure compliance with FDA regulations (21 CFR Parts 11, 50, 56, 812, 820), ICH-GCP, ISO 14155, and SaMD guidance
  • Manage CRO and clinical vendor relationships, including contract negotiation and performance oversight
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with regulatory, product, engineering, and legal teams
  • Support RA/QA peers on FDA interactions, pre-subs, and 510(k) submissions
  • Build and scale the clinical operations function — SOPs, templates, and tracking systems
  • Maintain post-market surveillance activities, including adverse event monitoring and reporting


What You Bring

  • Minimum B.S. Degree with 10+ years hands-on clinical operations experience (5+ in leadership) running trials for FDA-regulated medical devices, SaMD/digital health, or combination products
  • Demonstrated experience owning a device or SaMD through the complete lifecycle — from initial concept and study design through trial completion and post-market surveillance
  • Track record of building study designs from scratch alongside key internal and external stakeholders
  • Experience with biosensing devices, consumer health tech, or wellness platforms pursuing clinical validation
  • Familiarity with RWE study designs and decentralized/hybrid trial models
  • Startup or scale-up experience building processes from scratch
  • Experience supporting breakthrough device designations or pre-sub meetings
  • Experience launching studies across multiple regions/countries, with direct exposure to varying regulatory bodies and government requirements
  • Track record of trials leading to FDA clearances/approvals or labeling expansions
  • Experience managing third-party clinical sites end-to-end (selection through close-out)
  • Proven ability authoring IRB/Ethics submissions, ICFs, and clinical protocols
  • 7+ years cross-functional program management across clinical, engineering, and regulatory
  • Strong clinical data management knowledge (eCRF, data cleaning, query management, database lock)
  • Fluency in FDA device regulations (IDE, De Novo, 510(k)), ICH-GCP, ISO 14155, and SaMD guidance
  • Experience with study budgeting, vendor management, and CRO oversight
  • KOL relationship-building experience
