A key part of the position will be preparing and submitting regulatory and ethics applications, supporting audit and inspection readiness, contributing to SOP and QMS development, and ensuring trials are delivered in line with GCP, GDPR and relevant regulatory requirements.

• Developing and maintaining SOPs, trial processes and quality frameworks
• Coordinating communication between academic teams, clinical sites, partners and regulatory bodies
• Supporting trial budgets, reporting, governance meetings and stakeholder updates
• Supervising or mentoring junior clinical research staff as the programme grows
Essential experience:
• Strong clinical trial management experience
• Experience across the full trial lifecycle, from set-up to delivery and close-out
• Hands-on experience with regulatory and ethics submissions, such as MHRA, REC or international equivalents
• Strong understanding of GCP, clinical trial governance and regulatory compliance
• Experience managing TMF/eTMF documentation and essential study files
• Experience with site set-up, monitoring oversight, recruitment tracking and compliance
• Strong IT and data management skills, including EDC or CTMS platforms
• Experience developing or maintaining SOPs, work instructions or quality processes
• Ability to work effectively across academic, clinical, commercial and regulatory stakeholders
Desirable experience:
• Academic, NHS, university, sponsor-side or investigator-led trial experience
• Experience in multi-site or international clinical research programmes
• Exposure to digital health, remote trials, wearable technology, AI-enabled studies or MedTech
• Experience contributing to QMS development or inspection readiness
• Experience in population health, maternal health, paediatrics or digital clinical studies
