Clinical Trial Manager
Nottingham | Full-time | £45,000–£50,000
Neupulse is developing a pioneering neurotechnology device designed to improve quality of life for people living with brain health conditions.
The company is entering an important period of clinical research, evidence generation and product development, and is now looking for a Clinical Trial Manager to take dedicated ownership of trial planning, setup, delivery and close-out.
Clinical trials have been led closely by the founding team to date. As the company grows, this role will provide the dedicated trial management capability needed to support a broader programme of studies over time.
This is a role for someone who wants genuine ownership across the full clinical trial lifecycle — from study design and approvals through to delivery, close-out and reporting.
Why this role is different
This is not a narrow coordination role, and it is not a role where clinical research sits at the edge of the business.
At Neupulse, clinical evidence is central to the future of the company. You will work closely with the Chief Research Officer to deliver high-quality studies that support future product claims and regulatory approvals.
You will be joining at the point where the company is ready to move from founder-led trial delivery to a dedicated clinical trial management function. That means taking ownership of trials that matter, while helping strengthen the systems, processes and team capability needed to deliver repeated, high-quality studies over time.
What you’ll be doing
You will lead clinical trials from setup through to close-out, including:
-
Designing and setting up clinical trials
-
Preparing protocols, SOPs, consent materials, CRFs and trial documentation
-
Managing NHS REC, HRA, MHRA and IRAS submissions
-
Establishing trial systems, including TMF, data capture, monitoring and quality processes
-
Recruiting, training and managing clinical trial research staff
-
Coordinating with investigators, CROs, universities and external partners
-
Overseeing participant recruitment, consent and follow-up
-
Managing risks, issues, deviations and corrective actions
-
Supporting data analysis, study reports, publications and funder reports
What we’re looking for
We are looking for someone who has already managed clinical trials with a high degree of ownership.
You will need:
-
Experience independently designing and delivering clinical trials
-
Experience leading NHS REC and MHRA applications from initial preparation and submission through to approval, including producing all required regulatory documentation
-
Strong knowledge of GCP, NHS REC, HRA and MHRA requirements
-
Experience preparing protocols, participant documentation and other essential trial documentation
-
Strong project management, organisation and prioritisation skills
-
Experience training or managing research / clinical staff
-
Good judgement, attention to detail and confidence making decisions
The role is intended to be senior and autonomous, with responsibility for independently designing, setting up and delivering trials that meet GCP, NHS REC and MHRA requirements.
Experience in medical device, digital health, neurotechnology, neuroscience, NHS research, university-led research or CRO-supported studies would be especially relevant.
Why join Neupulse?
This is an opportunity to join a medical technology company at a stage where clinical trials will play a central role in its development.
You will be working alongside an experienced founding and research team, while taking dedicated ownership of the trial management capability needed for the next phase.
For the right Clinical Trial Manager, this is a rare opportunity to do the full job: shape studies, secure approvals, manage delivery, lead the team, and help turn clinical research into evidence that matters.
Salary and location
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 per annum, depending on experience
Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week
Location: Hybrid role - Nottingham NG7, with regular work and participant testing at the Sir Colin Campbell Building, Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham
