(Senior) Clinical Research Scientist - Digital Cardiology and Heart Failure

About the Client

Our client is pioneering a new era of digital cardiology. Their flagship technology applies machine learning to the human voice to detect heart-failure worsening earlier than any existing method, transforming how clinicians monitor and manage their patients.

Building on a strong foundation of international clinical trials, they are now entering the next chapter: bringing this breakthrough technology to market and expanding the clinical evidence base to establish their technology as the new standard of care.

Together with their deployed remote monitoring platform, which is already trusted by more than 200 cardiologists and more than 1,000 patients across Europe and the United States, they will scale their remote monitoring ecosystem and shape the future of cardiovascular care.

About the Role

They are looking for a Clinical Research Scientist (MD, PhD, or comparable) with a strong background in cardiology to join their growing medical and scientific team.

This is not a back office research role. You will be at the center of our mission, connecting clinical research, scientific development, and medical affairs. The position combines hands-on trial execution with high-level strategic and cutting-edge scientific work in a fast-moving start-up environment.

Working closely with their Chief Medical Officer and the R&D Team, you will help shape their global evidence strategy across pivotal trials, AI validation, and real-world studies. You will collaborate directly with investigators from the most renowned research institutions around the world (Charité Berlin, Mayo Clinic, UCSF, Duke, and many more) as part of multi-center studies, combining the highest academic rigor with true startup agility.

You will also contribute to scientific dissemination and serve as a scientific liaison with clinicians, partners, and key stakeholders across Europe and the United States. Your work will ensure that their technology is not only advancing technology but also shaping the scientific, clinical and commercial narrative in remote monitoring of heart failure.

Tasks

Clinical Research & Trial Oversight

• Oversee sponsor-side clinical operations and budget across multi-center studies in Europe and the U.S.
• Lead, execute, and monitor trials in collaboration with CROs and their research team.
• Ensure adherence to GCP and regulatory requirements in all areas of research.
• Contribute to protocol design, endpoint definitions, and data interpretation with R&D and data-science teams.
• Maintain strong relationships with investigators, study sites, and clinical partners.

Scientific Development & Dissemination

• Draft and co-author scientific publications and conference presentations for major cardiology and digital-health venues where their company is regularly represented such as the ESC, HFSA, AHA.
• Support preparation of clinical study reports, regulatory submissions, and deliverables for grants and funding bodies.
• Analyze and interpret literature and trial results to generate medical and scientific insights and translate these findings into actual products clinicians use.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with the technical members of the R&D team to aggregate scientific results, validate AI models, and translate clinical findings into algorithmic improvements.
• Provide clinical and scientific input for business development and commercial partnerships across all product lines, acting as a trusted medical expert throughout the commercial process.
• Clinical thinking is in their DNA: your job is to make sure clinical context is present across all departments.

Requirements

Required:

• MD or PhD in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, or related field.
• Clinical or research experience in cardiology is required.
• 2 years of experience in clinical practice, research, digital health, or medical device development.
• Advanced understanding of clinical trial methodology and GCP.
• Experience in authoring and publishing scientific papers.
• Excellent communication and writing skills for both technical and clinical audiences.
• On-site in Berlin, with willingness to travel nationally and internationally.
• Fluent German and English

What would be a strong plus:

• Experience in heart failure, remote monitoring and/or the U.S. healthcare system.
• Additional business or data analytics experience or degree
• Regulatory experience (ISO 14155, MDR, and FDA).
• Proven track record in multi-center trial management.
