CTA Manager – Clinical Trials

Full-time, on-site in Swansea

£45,000–£50,000 depending on experience

Must have leadership experience - measuring and managing performance

This is more than a people management role. It’s a chance to lead a growing clinical team in a company that’s delivering real-world innovation, with products trusted in homes and clinics across the globe.

This MedTech company is a market leader in light-based aesthetic technology. Their non-invasive, CE-marked Class II devices are sold in over 50 countries, backed by a strong clinical evidence base and a culture of quality. As they expand their UK clinical function, they’re hiring a CTA Manager to lead a team working at the frontline of medical device trials.

This role is right for you if:

• You’ve managed teams before and know what good operational support looks like
• You thrive in fast-paced, regulated environments where detail matters
• You believe quality and culture go hand in hand — and you care about both

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing and mentoring a team of Clinical Trial Assistants based across Swansea and London
• Overseeing resource planning, shift allocation, and annual leave to ensure smooth trial delivery
• Ensuring adherence to GCP, ISO 14155, EU MDR, FDA regulations, and company SOPs
• Overseeing TMF and ISF maintenance, ensuring audit readiness at all times
• Coordinating training and onboarding, including SOP updates and performance reviews
• Acting as the operational bridge between CTAs and stakeholders across clinical, regulatory, and QA
• Supporting device logistics, documentation, and site support activity
• Driving continuous improvement across trial operations

What you’ll need:

• 5+ years of clinical trial experience, including at least 2 years managing or leading teams
• Hands-on knowledge of medical device trials (aesthetics or dermatology would be a bonus)
• Strong understanding of GCP, ISO 14155, EU MDR, and FDA trial regulations
• Confidence managing trial documentation, scheduling, people performance, and operational risk
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — across teams, sites, and levels
• A proactive mindset, a steady hand, and a focus on quality
