• Working knowledge across hardware, software, and clinical workflows, with the ability to effectively communicate with specialized teams in each area.
• Experience developing and implementing new operational processes, particularly in environments where processes and infrastructure are still being built.
• Demonstrated ability to independently scope problems, identify solutions, make decisions, and drive workstreams through completion.
• Strong cross functional leadership and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information for clinical, commercial, and operational audiences.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities in a fast paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end deployment of Cardiosense deployment for new customers, from technical scoping through go-live and steady-state support.
• Serve as the primary point of contact to hospital IT, biomed/clinical engineering, and information security teams.
• Define and maintain the onboarding procedures including device procurement and provisioning, fleet management, workflow mapping, and staff training.
• Manage integration workstreams with hospital systems and third-party cardiac data platforms, coordinating with engineering on interfacing requirements and data flow.
• Build the field support model, including tiering, SLAs, and the feedback to R&D.
• Support Commercial to define a successful deployment including activation milestones, sustained utilization thresholds, and per-site economics.
• Own instrumentation and reporting of device and platform usage, building the metrics infrastructure and recurring reporting cadence used by Commercial for account decisions.
• Own account monitoring across deployed sites including utilization, workflow breakdowns, or technical friction to allow for early intervention
• Translate deployment and utilization data into commercial strategy inputs and use that analysis to contribute to commercial planning.
• Own technical and operation content to customer-facing materials that helps solution expansion and increases site utilization
• Manage the contract manufacturing and external design partners: statement of works, build plan, cost, yield, and quality
• Drive the accessory and device improvements roadmap through partners from requirements through design transfer and verification
• Own build planning and inventory across the demo program, clinical studies, and commercial deployment.
• Support execution of clinical validation studies demonstrating performance and clinical utility of Cardiosense solutions, with commercialization endpoint defined early on.
• Provide operational and technical support to clinical studies, including site activation, device logistics, and data integrity.
• Provide oversight on data monitoring and execution, flagging when sites drift out of protocol early.
• Provide real-world usage into prioritized requirements for the algorithm and applications team
• Identify data collection opportunities that support algorithm improvements and expansion indications, in coordination with the PCCP framework
• Advise on product roadmap tradeoffs where deployment feasibility, manufacturability, or clinical utilization are gating factors.
