About the opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced clinical professional with a passion for education to join the Infant Care Division of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.

We are seeking an exceptional individual to lead a dynamic clinical portfolio with a strong clinical education focus, supporting a range of innovative medical devices. The role has global reach and spans multiple aspects of clinical affairs, working closely with research and development, field-based clinical specialists, and international clinical experts.

This position is ideally suited to a clinician (particularly from a paediatric or neonatal nursing background) who enjoys translating evidence and complex clinical concepts into meaningful, practical education.

Key Responsibilities

    • Fisher & Paykel Healthcare clinical specialists in the field
    • International clinical experts and key opinion leaders
  • Provide direct clinical input into product development activities
  • Support pre-market clinical investigations
  • Contribute to the synthesis of clinical evidence to support regulatory submissions (e.g. systematic literature reviews)
  • Support risk management and post-market clinical activities

About you

  • Postgraduate qualification in Health Sciences or a related field
  • 3–5 years’ experience supporting clinical practice change through education, training, or clinical research in a healthcare environment
  • Sound knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
  • Good understanding of ICH/GCP and ethical principles for conducting medical device investigations, particularly in vulnerable populations
  • Transferable technical skills relevant to working with and contributing to medical device development
  • Strong science and clinical communication skills, including presenting to diverse audiences
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and goals

Desirable Experience

  • Real-world clinical experience, ideally as a paediatric or neonatal nurse, or within physiotherapy, respiratory therapy, or allied health
