This role owns the most strategic thinking of how to validate clinical AI, and the end-to-end lifecycle of regulatory studies — from early concept and pre-submission strategy through pilot and pivotal studies, FDA interactions, submission closure, and publication.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role combining regulatory science, clinical research expertise, and program ownership. The Director serves as the clinical and regulatory study lead, orchestrating cross-functional teams and ensuring studies are scientifically rigorous, operationally sound, and strategically aligned with regulatory and product goals.

- Author, review, and oversee clinical study protocols, statistical analysis plans (SAPs), data management plans, and clinical study reports (CSRs).
- Design and execute pilot and pivotal studies, including site and PI recruitment, CRO engagement, IRB approvals, and consent processes.
- Lead real-world evidence and hybrid study designs leveraging large-scale Aidoc deployments.
- Partner closely with Regulatory Affairs, Product, AI, Quality, Biostatistics, and Data teams to align evidence generation with product claims and regulatory strategy.
- Lead strategic FDA pre-submissions, participate in FDA meetings, and draft formal responses to regulatory questions.
- Manage study budgets, timelines, vendors, and resources in collaboration with RA and operations teams.
- Ensure compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), applicable regulatory guidance, data traceability, information security, and audit readiness.
- Establish and maintain regulatory study infrastructure, including SOPs, file management systems, and record-keeping practices.
- Support post-submission activities, including additional analyses, predetermined change control elements, and submission closure.
- Publish regulatory studies as white papers or scientific publications, as appropriate.
- Serve as a thought leader in regulatory science for AI-enabled medical devices and help build scalable internal standards and playbooks.
Requirements
- Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in SW-related subjects. Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Clinical Sciences, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience designing and leading clinical studies for medical devices, including direct support of FDA submissions.
- Demonstrated experience with AI-enabled, sofåtware-based, or data-driven medical devices.
