Overview
The Royal Marsden and the Institute of Cancer Research Joint Research Strategy, and the RM/ICR NIHR Biomedical Research Centre strategy, both include the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI, and computational tools more broadly, are set to become increasingly integral to healthcare and clinical research. Such tools have the potential to enhance decision‑making, improve patient outcomes, and optimise operational efficiency. However, in supporting successful development and deployment, it is essential that we build a robust, scalable, and compliant infrastructure to support these initiatives.
Responsibilities
* Develop and maintain a centralised, proportionate QMS resource, including SOPs, templates, guidance documents, and tools to facilitate researchers' independent management of SaMD quality.
* Assist clinical research teams and regulatory compliance functions to ensure appropriate application of quality standards in interventional research involving SaMD (i.e., Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulated clinical investigations).
* Advise and support clinical research teams on SaMD quality management, ensuring understanding of safety priorities and compliance with applicable standards.
* Support research teams in aligning with or integrating industry partner QMS frameworks where appropriate.
* Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to standardise approaches for SaMD development, risk management, and quality assurance.
* Provide expert input on risk management aligned with ISO 14971, supporting teams in risk identification and mitigation strategies.
* Support preparation for regulatory inspections and audits by advising teams on documentation and inspection readiness.

The Royal Marsden values diversity and is committed to the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority groups. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates with disabilities.
As a Disability Confident Employer, we are working to create a workplace that enables all staff to reach their full potential. We are committed to this because we know that greater diversity and inclusion will lead to an even greater positive impact for the people we serve.

We advise you to submit your application as early as possible to prevent disappointment. Please ensure your information is accurate to avoid errors with processing your application.
All applicants will be contacted by email to the address supplied on your application. Applicants are advised to check their email accounts regularly and to ensure that email filters are set to allow our emails.
Flu Vaccination
At The Royal Marsden we have an immune‑compromised patient population who we must protect as much as we can against the flu virus. Each year, seasonal flu affects thousands of people in the UK. Occurring mainly in winter, it is an infectious respiratory disease capable of producing symptoms ranging from those similar to a common cold, through to very severe or even fatal disease.
The wellbeing of our staff and patients is of the utmost importance to us, and it is the expectation of The Royal Marsden that all patient‑facing staff have an annual flu vaccination, provided free of charge by the Trust.
Qualifications
The successful candidate will have significant experience in quality management or regulatory affairs related to medical devices, with a focus on SaMD, and hold a Postgraduate degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
