Clinical Trial Operations Manager (FDA / Digital Health) aka Clinical Project Manager / Clinical Study Manager
Run the FDA trial — not just a piece of it.
Most clinical trial roles give you a slice: a region, a function, a vendor. This one doesn’t.
A Berlin-based digital cardiology company is preparing a multi-center FDA clearance trial for a novel heart failure monitoring technology — and they’re hiring someone to own the operational execution end-to-end.
You’ll be the person who actually makes the trial work: sites live, patients enrolled, data clean, timelines hit.
Why this role is different
- Full ownership: not a region, not a function — the entire trial execution
- Direct line to decision-making: work closely with leadership, not layers of management
- Real scale: multi-site, international, FDA-facing study
- Top-tier collaborators: work with institutions like Charité, Mayo Clinic, UCSF
- Less process, more progress: no corporate overhead slowing you down
- Visible impact: your work directly determines trial success and regulatory outcomes
What you’ll actually be doing
- Running the day-to-day operations of a pivotal FDA trial
- Owning CRO performance, timelines, budgets, and quality
- Getting sites activated, trained, and recruiting
- Solving problems in real time — not escalating them through layers
- Keeping studies audit-ready and on track
- Working directly with clinicians, product, and data teams to keep everything aligned
What they’re looking for
- Someone who has already run trials, not just supported them
- Experience managing CROs, sites, and global studies
- Strong understanding of GCP and regulatory environments (FDA / ISO / MDR)
- Background in medical devices, digital health, or diagnostics
- A doer — someone who takes ownership and drives things forward
Why people leave for roles like this
- You’re tired of owning only a fraction of a trial
- Decisions take weeks instead of hours
- You’re far from the actual impact of your work
- You want to step up into real ownership, not wait years for it
