The high profile and successful Clinical Outcomes team supports the health outcomes measurement needs of national programs, publicly-funded healthcare (NHS and Centres for Medicare/Medicaid, for example), as well as medical device companies and the pharmaceutical sector. Our products and services provide the tools by which these organisations can measure the efficacy of their interventions.
The team is growing rapidly (achieving >35% growth for the previous 3 years) and now has an exciting opportunity for a Developer Relations Manager to play a pivotal role by focusing on growing the portfolio of high-quality Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COAs) that we manage. There will be a progressive training programme for the successful candidate, particularly where there may be limited commercial and/or contractual experience.
The key responsibilities of the role are:
- Managing all aspects of the acquisition of new, high-quality COAs into the existing portfolio, engaging with developers/authors/researchers/owners of COAs.
- Ensuring that are COAs are accurately described and working effectively with our researchers/developers to ensure the COAs they have authored are represented by the team.
- Reviewing and assessing the quality of COAs we may look to acquire.
- Managing the negotiation and administration of contracts with the developers/owners and then coordinating the integration of the COA into our existing portfolio.
- Developing marketing activity with colleagues to raise awareness of our COA management and support services.

- Building a network of reliable, high-quality relationships to further raise awareness of our COA management services.
Contributing to the promotion of the development or application of the portfolio of COA instruments.
The ideal candidate must have a degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject or experience in the development and/or application of COAs. Although commercial and contractual experience is not a pre-requisite for this role, academic rigour is essential.

- A high level of attention to detail.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbally and in writing.
