Clinical Trial Manager
About the role
At Ambu, we are advancing the future of endoscopy through data-driven innovation. As part of our newly established Clinical Data Acquisition team, you will play a key role in supporting the development of our Endointelligence solutions.
In this role, your focus goes beyond traditional clinical trials. You will be responsible for ensuring efficient, high-quality collection of clinical data to support the development of AI-based solutions that enhance clinical decision-making.
You will work closely with colleagues across the organization—from R&D and software teams to Clinical and Commercial—ensuring that data is generated in a way that meets both operational and business needs. As part of a small, growing team, you will have a real opportunity to shape how we work and contribute to building new processes and approaches..
This is a hands-on and hybrid role, combining clinical trial management with on-site activities and stakeholder coordination. You will be involved across the full study lifecycle, from site identification and setup to execution and close-out, while also collaborating with external partners such as CROs where relevant.
The position is based at our Innovation site in Augsburg, Germany, with a hybrid working model requiring approximately three days of on-site presence per week, reflecting the importance of close collaboration with the team.
Key responsibilities
* Manage clinical studies in accordance with ISO 14155
* Contribute to and support protocol development and study design
* Identify, initiate, and manage clinical sites across Europe

* Support contracts, budgets, and site agreements in collaboration with internal stakeholders
* Monitor and follow up on site performance and recruitment
* Contribute to SOP development and optimization
* Ensure compliance with regulatory and quality requirements
* Participate in audits and inspections as needed
Skills and experiences can be gained in many different ways, and we understand that the best fit for the role cannot be prescribed on paper. You are however likely to succeed in this position if you bring solid experience from clinical operations and enjoy working close to the action, with both sites and stakeholders.
