About the Organisation
Pretect Devices is an early-stage medical technology company developing innovative monitoring solutions aimed at improving outcomes for the most vulnerable patients. We are conducting the first neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) medical device trial of its kind in Western Australia, working closely with leading hospital partners including Fiona Stanley Hospital. Our mission is to enable earlier detection and intervention for conditions that can lead to lifelong disability, with a focus on improving outcomes at the earliest stages of life. Our work sits at the intersection of clinical medicine, engineering, and advanced data science including analytical approaches adapted from fields such as astrophysics to extract meaningful signals from complex physiological data. We place strong emphasis on patient- and family-centred care, recognising the critical role of parents in neonatal research and clinical environments.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Clinical Trial Manager to lead and coordinate clinical and research activities across multiple hospital sites in Western Australia. This role extends beyond traditional trial coordination and includes involvement in translational research, data‐driven clinical investigation, and early‐stage medical innovation. As an early member of the team, you will play a key role in shaping and scaling the clinical program as it expands. This is a hands‐on role that combines day‐to‐day clinical trial execution with strategic oversight, including supporting multi‐site trial delivery and contributing to the design and optimisation of the broader clinical program. You will have a clear pathway to senior clinical leadership as the company grows. This role reports to the Head of Clinical Development.

Highly Desirable
* Experience in neonatal, paediatric, or hospital‐based research
* Experience with medical device trials
* Interest in data‐driven or computational approaches to medicine
* Experience working across multiple clinical sites
Opportunities for Growth
* Potential to pursue a sponsored industry‐led PhD
* Leading and executing a first‐in‐kind NICU clinical trial program in WA
* Exposure to interdisciplinary work spanning medicine, engineering, and data science
