Position Summary:

The Imaging Manager, Clinical Operations will lead imaging operations in support of our medical device research and development programs, spanning both preclinical studies and pre-market/postmarket clinical trial imaging data management. This individual will serve as the organization's subject-matter expert across multiple imaging modalities including ultrasound, MR, CT, fluoroscopy, angiography, and others. This individual will also manage, imaging platforms, vendors, and ensure data readiness for regulatory submission. This is a hybrid technical/operational leadership role. The ideal candidate combines hands‑on imaging expertise with strong vendor and project management skills: equally comfortable evaluating an image read for quality, negotiating a core lab statement of work, or troubleshooting a repository access issue.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the lead technical resource for all imaging modalities.
• Oversee image acquisition and quality control, in support of device safety and performance studies.
• Partner with study leads and R&D core teams to design imaging components of study protocols.
• Author, revise, and maintain SOPs governing imaging procedures, equipment use, and data handling.
• Support internal and external (sponsor, regulatory) audits related to imaging data and procedures.
• Act as the primary imaging point of contact for internal stakeholders and CROs.
• Communicate study progress, imaging findings, and technical constraints clearly to cross‑functional and non‑technical audiences.
• Own the governance of the imaging repository: manage user access levels.
• Coordinate and plan for imaging software/platform updates, migrations, and vendor transitions, proactively managing read‑delay and downtime risk.
• Manage day‑to‑day core lab and imaging vendor performance against contracted deliverables.
• Ensure required vendor documentation is complete and current: project plans, charters, image acquisition guidelines (IAGs), and training manuals.
• Review statements of work (SOWs) and budgets for imaging core labs.
• Track imaging submissions across all clinical study sites.
• Monitor submission timelines against study milestones; proactively flag risk to deadlines.
• Keep study teams informed of submission issues, delays, or timeline slips.
• Verify that core lab activities are being conducted in accordance with study protocol requirements.
• Track core lab turnaround times for reads, reports, and data transfers, and drive corrective action when performance lags.
• Coordinate imaging data flow from sites -> core lab -> study database, ensuring a clean, traceable chain of custody.
• Track missing, delayed, imaging and drive resolution with sites and vendors.
• Ensure data integrity throughout the imaging data lifecycle.
• Monitor image reads for quality and consistency across readers/sites.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in a life sciences, biomedical engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 10+ years of hands‑on experience in preclinical/clinical research, with substantial direct experience across multiple imaging modalities.
• Demonstrated experience in a regulated research environment, ideally within medical devices, biotech, or a CRO setting.
• Proven track record authoring SOPs and protocols, and training/mentoring technical staff.
• Experience managing vendor core labs, and/or sponsor relationships, including reviewing statements of work and budgets.
• Strong data integrity practices.
• Comfort managing data flow and documentation across multiple systems/stakeholders (sites, core lab, internal database), including tracking timelines and escalating risk.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting technical findings to cross‑functional and external audiences.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams).

Benefits : We offer a comprehensive benefits package for full‑time employees. This includes health, dental, and vision insurance, life, short‑term and long‑term disability insurance, 401(k), paid time off, and more.
