We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Data Solutions Specialist to join our Data Management team, part of our wider Clinicals group based at our state of the art facility in Witney. We are keen to hear from candidates looking for an opportunity to make an impact at work and contribute to patient health for the next generation of glucose monitoring technology.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a technically adept and solutions-oriented Senior Data Solutions Specialist to support the deployment and optimization of technology used in clinical studies, with a strong focus on decentralized trials.
This role involves configuring and supporting field-deployed equipment—including laptops, mobile phones, and trial-specific applications—with access-only capabilities to our internal systems. You’ll be the go-to expert for troubleshooting, adapting existing platforms, and ensuring seamless user experiences across diverse trial environments.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Prepare and configure laptops, mobile devices, and applications for clinical trial use.
* Provide real-time technical support to field users, resolving issues efficiently through effective technical conversations with users to diagnose and resolve problems
* Evaluate existing tools and platforms for suitability in future trial settings, adapting systems to meet study-specific needs
* Maintain detailed records of configurations, issues, and resolutions, ensuring all technical activities align with regulatory and data protection standards
Essential Skills and Experience
You will have a BSc (or higher) in a scientific or technical discipline, and bring prior experience working in a regulated clinical research environment or the healthcare industry, with preference given to those with Medical Device experience.
We will expect you to demonstrate a background of managing a variety of projects simultaneously, translating business needs to effective data systems solutions. You will be adept at troubleshooting, and able to translate technical aspects to non-technical users. Additionally, you’ll need to be adaptable, have a keen eye for detail, excellent written and verbal communication abilities, strong collaboration and team-working skills.
