  • Experience in diagnostics/IVD, medical devices, or digital health in a regulated FDA, EU MDR, or IVDR environment.
  • Experience supporting FDA 510(k), De Novo, PMA, IDE, or pre-submission processes and/or EU MDR/IVDR clinical requirements for software-based products; familiarity with the FDA SaMD/AI-ML framework.
  • Track record leading multi-site clinical validation studies from protocol design through clinical study report, including CRO/vendor and site management.
  • Working command of ICH-GCP, ISO 14155, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971.
  • Must be based in or commutable to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Responsibilities

  • Own the clinical development strategy for SaMD products, aligned with the FDA SaMD framework, Good Machine Learning Practice, and applicable international standards.
  • Design and lead clinical validation studies establishing the analytical and clinical validity of algorithm- and AI-driven diagnostic and device software.
  • Define clinical evidence requirements for model performance, generalizability, and subgroup/bias analyses.
  • Design and execute real-world evidence programs, including prospective registries, retrospective real-world data studies, and post-market performance monitoring for deployed software.
  • Establish continuous performance surveillance for AI/ML models in the field, supporting predetermined change control plans and evidence for algorithm updates.
  • Use real-world data and evidence to support label expansion, reimbursement and health-economics needs, and regulatory lifecycle maintenance.
  • Lead end-to-end study execution, including site selection, study start-up, enrollment, monitoring, data lock, close-out, and clinical study reports.
  • Manage CROs, data partners, real-world data sources, core labs, and clinical sites, including budgets, timelines, and quality oversight.
  • Oversee clinical data integrity, safety reporting, and audit and inspection readiness.
  • Partner with Regulatory Affairs on FDA submissions, including 510(k), De Novo, PMA, IDE, and Q-sub/pre-sub, and international filings, including EU MDR/IVDR and CE marking, for software-based products.
  • Author and review clinical evaluation plans and reports, clinical validation protocols, PMCF/PMPF plans, and real-world evidence study designs.
  • Ensure compliance with ICH-GCP, ISO 14155, IEC 62304, 21 CFR 812/820, ISO 14971, and SaMD-specific guidance.
  • Serve as the clinical voice on cross-functional teams spanning Data Science/ML, R&D, Regulatory, Quality, Product, and Commercial.
  • Engage key opinion leaders, investigators, Clinical Events Committees, and Data Safety Monitoring Boards; represent clinical and real-world evidence to internal leadership, regulators, and external stakeholders.
  • Build and maintain strategic relationships with academic institutions, clinical investigators, and industry partners to support clinical development initiatives, collaborative research, and evidence generation.
  • Contribute to peer-reviewed scientific publications and represent the company at medical, scientific, and clinical conferences through presentations, panels, and other thought-leadership activities.
  • Mentor and, over time, build a clinical development/evidence team.

Desired Qualifications

  • An advanced degree (PhD, MD, PharmD, MS, or equivalent) in a life sciences, clinical, data science, or engineering discipline.
  • IEC 62304 experience for software lifecycle.
  • Hands-on experience designing and executing real-world evidence/data programs, such as registries, real-world validation, post-market performance monitoring, or algorithm surveillance for deployed software.
  • Experience working in oncology.
  • Experience with predetermined change control plans and evidence for AI/ML model updates.
  • Exposure to companion diagnostics, digital pathology, imaging AI, clinical decision support, or precision-medicine software.
  • Experience generating reimbursement/health-economics evidence and conducting label-expansion studies.
  • Experience at a growth-stage or scaling organization building clinical/real-world evidence infrastructure and processes.
