Job Location: Remote in Europe (HQ in France)

Salary: €70-85k basic + 10% bonus, equity

About the Client

Our client is a MedTech company with HQ in France developing CE IVDR certified AI solutions for oncological pathology. Their tools support pathologists and oncologists in delivering precision diagnostics across multiple cancer indications. They're backed by 50+ specialist investor shareholders and distributed through leading partners in digital pathology.

Why this role exists

Our client needs someone who thinks and delivers. You'll build the clinical plan, then run it yourself: open the sites, follow the samples, chase the data and take studies to readout.

They already have a CE IVDR certified portfolio in active use in oncology practice, with a clear roadmap: extend clinical evidence for their flagship product, support the pipeline in the field and prepare new indications. Small team, real product, fast decisions.

The Mission

Turn their clinical roadmap into delivered studies and usable evidence. Identify the clinical evidence gaps that stand between their products and reimbursement, and close them one study at a time.

What you will do

• Identify clinical evidence gaps for each product and turn them into a clinical validation roadmap that supports reimbursement
• Run validation studies end to end with partner hospitals: protocol, ethics, cohorts, samples, data and readout
• Write protocols suited to diagnostic performance studies (IVDR, ISO 20916), and work under ICH GCP when a study runs alongside a drug trial
• Go into hospital networks to unlock retrospective cohorts and set up prospective studies
• Bring KOLs on board and convince hospital centers to become partner sites
• Build partnerships with pharma and diagnostics companies around joint studies
• Negotiate collaboration agreements covering data access, co-development and joint studies
• Organize advisory boards and represent the client at scientific congresses (ESMO, ASCO, EADO)
• Engage scientific societies to support guideline inclusion and clinical adoption
• Support the training of clinicians and pathologists on their solutions, in partner centers and at congresses
• Work closely with their medical, data science and regulatory teams so that study results feed the product and the regulatory file

What success looks like

·      6 months: Evidence gaps mapped for each product, validation roadmap approved, first new partner centers on board

·      12 months: First new validation study running, with a clear path to data readout, first pharma or diagnostics partnership signed

·      18 months: Several studies delivering data, first evidence package ready to support a reimbursement file

What we're looking for

• MD, PharmD, PhD or master's degree (M2) linked to oncology or diagnostics. The degree matters less than your scientific level: you understand the clinical question in each indication and can discuss it as an equal with experts
• 5 to 8 years in the pharmaceutical or diagnostics industry, in clinical development or medical affairs
• You understand how a clinical study works, how a drug trial differs from a diagnostic performance study (design, endpoints, retrospective samples, regulatory path), and you can deliver one
• You can read clinical data critically: survival analysis, hazard ratios, performance metrics, and how an AI model is validated
• You know how a hospital works from the inside: who decides, how data moves, how to get a study started
• You can negotiate a collaboration agreement with a hospital or an industry partner, including data access terms
• You run several studies in parallel and know how to juggle competing priorities
• Tact and a sense of business: you make a KOL want to join the project and a hospital center want to partner with the client. These relationships rest on trust and shared scientific interest, not on financial transactions
• Startup agility: you think and you execute, you adapt quickly when priorities change, and you are comfortable working without established playbooks
• Available to travel around 25% of the time, mainly to top 5 scientific congresses in Europe and the US
• Fluent English; French a plus

Nice to have

• Experience in digital pathology, AI diagnostics or companion diagnostics
• Good knowledge of oncology treatments in melanoma, colorectal and breast cancer
• Working knowledge of IVDR or FDA regulatory pathways

What they offer

• A key role in a small team, with real autonomy
• Competitive package including salary and equity
• The chance to build something instead of maintaining it
