Role Description
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.
