• Develop study proposals and initiate clinical activities to support evidence generation needs. Connect with study investigators and study sites, as applicable, to process and track study proposals, budgets.
• Manage Sports Medicine Investigator Initiator Studies (IIS), collaborative research, and real-world data collection activities to ensure business objectives/processes and study milestones are met.
• Create, maintain, contribute to, and review Clinical Strategy-assigned documentation supporting the product lifecycle.
• Review, analyse, and document supporting data. Develop reports, as applicable, and ensure data/reports are provided to appropriate stakeholders, ensuring the format is appropriate for its intended use.
• Generate publication strategies & present progress and results.
• Attend professional conferences and surgeon training labs as appropriate.
