About OrganOx:
OrganOx is an innovative, fast-paced, global medical device company with a mission to save lives by making every donated organ count. We are a commercial stage organ technology company, spun out of the University of Oxford in 2008, committed to improving transplantation outcomes throughout the world. The company's first product, the OrganOx
metra® normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) system for liver transplantation, has been used to support more than 4,000 liver transplant operations globally, optimizing the use of donated organs by enabling assessment of the quality of livers as well as longer preservation durations. As part of our ongoing expansion, we seek a Clinical Specialist to join our team.
Position Summary
The Clinical Specialist will be primarily responsible for training and supporting users of our products. This includes teaching and training users in the correct manner to ensure our products are used safely and effectively - both for the preservation of organs prior to transplant, and for various clinical and non-clinical research studies. The role of Clinical Specialist will involve global travel, primarily within North America, visiting leading sites of transplantation surgery. This means the Clinical Specialist will be required to work after business hours, including nights, weekends and some very long days, which is the norm due to the unpredictable nature of organ donation and transplantation.
