We're Heidi. We're building the future of healthcare by giving every clinician the earth's finest AI Care Partner. In just 18 months, our clinical AI products have absorbed the administrative chaos of 73 million patient visits. Today, we support over 2.5 million patient sessions a week across 190+ countries. Healthcare systems are failing us; clinicians spend more time on documentation than on patients, and the human connection that makes medicine worth practicing is eroding. Our mission is simple: double the world's healthcare capacity and strengthen the human connection at its heart. We found product-market fit with a freemium medical scribe that clinicians love. Now, we're expanding. Every task a clinician hands to Heidi is a patient who feels more attended to, a health system unclogged, and a clinician who gets to be a clinician again. If you don't choose easy and you want to build something way bigger than yourself then, choose the challenge, choose Heidi. The Role What you'll do As our Design Quality & Compliance Engineer, you'll sit at the heart of Heidi's mission to make world class care faster and safer through intelligent, compliant technology. Reporting into the Legal & Regulatory Affairs team, but working day to day within Engineering, you'll be the key link ensuring our agile software development practices remain fully aligned with global medical device and information security standards. Your core mission is to help ensure that our software design and development activities meet global medical device requirements, leading the practical implementation of IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), ISO 14971 (risk management), and ISO 13485 (quality management systems) within an agile, iterative environment. You'll help shape how design inputs, verification, validation, and risk controls are captured, reviewed, and evidenced. This is a hybrid role for someone who can masterfully implement compliance within a modern, agile software culture, enabling engineering teams to build quickly and safely, while ensuring every release stands up to regulatory scrutiny. What you'll do Drive Medical Device Design Control Processes Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of design control processes across the software lifecycle in alignment with IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485. Partner with engineers and product managers to ensure requirements, risk controls, verification, and validation activities are clearly defined, documented, and traceable. Support the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including requirements specifications, risk management files, verification reports, and change records. Support external ISO 13485 and Notified Body audits, with a focus on Design and Development aspects. Champion compliance in software development by translating complex and opaque IEC/ISO standards into clear, actionable processes that engineering teams can follow. What we will look for SaMD Experience: Prior experience working on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) or other regulated healthtech products, ideally in a start up or scale up environment. Standards: Strong working knowledge of standards such as IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 27001, and the ability to apply these in practical, developer friendly ways. Technical Skills: A solid understanding of technical security domains, including cloud security, access control, network security, and secure software development lifecycles. Proactive & Detail Oriented: A commitment to quality and the ability to drive tasks to completion in a fast paced, high growth environment. Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with internal teams (engineers, product) and manage external partners (auditors, customers). A Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant scientific, engineering, regulatory, legal, or governance discipline is a plus. How we show up Build for the next decade, not next quarter. Our targets are outrageous on purpose. The world's health doesn't have the luxury of incrementalism. Lead, don't wait. We treat tomorrow's problems today. Sometimes we build what's needed before it's wanted, and we're fine with that. Follow the evidence. Trust the patient. We pursue truth relentlessly. But when the subjective and objective disagree, we treat the patient, not the numbers. Ego is a comorbidity we can't afford. Own the outcome. Everyone here carries the company. Raise problems with solutions, solve them end to end, and never be a bystander. Ship, measure, go again. A button today, a workflow tomorrow. More iterations beat better planning. We're precise at pace, not reckless. Live in clinicians' reality. Not the ideal workflow, the twenty patients before lunch actual one. We build for exhausted humans, and we'd better be decent ones while we do it. Why Heidi? You'll join a team focused on real world impact over imaginary valuations and glossy PR. We live and breathe the challenges of modern health systems, and are laser focused on exacting the change we'd like to see. We're medicos, engineers, builders, and designers who've felt the moral and practical toll of what non care feels like. True A players progress extremely fast here. The nature of the scale up game is demanding, but we value sustainable performance and mental health. You're trusted to perform, and you set your schedule. We operate on outcomes > inputs, not process theatre. We all take the bins out, metaphorically and literally. Building what we're building isn't always easy. But we didn't choose easy, we chose to build something that actually matters. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because healthcare demands it. If you join Heidi, you recognise that the deeper question isn't whether AI can solve the global healthcare crisis, but whose hands will shape it. The work is hard, but you will trust and admire the people you work beside, and rest easy knowing you're doing the defining work of your career. We take care of you. We offer comprehensive private medical and dental cover through Bupa 24/7 mental health coaching and wellbeing support through Sonder a £100/month Healthy Heidi's wellness stipend a £500 home office budget a £700 annual learning and development budget 26 weeks paid primary parental leave and 18 weeks paid secondary parental leave fertility support up to £7,000 up to four weeks of work from anywhere per year Recharge Days after major milestones and busy periods 10 days per year of clinical leave for eligible clinical roles a hybrid working environment with 3 days in the office

Our Mission At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The Valo, our eVTOL (electric, vertical, take-off and landing), 'zero emissions' aircraft will set a new safety standard for how we will navigate the sky. We won't realise our mission following the same legacy processes and traditions our predecessors followed, instead, we want to 'redefine' aerospace best practices.

What You'll Do Lead Vertical's HSE strategy, annual plan and risk-based assurance programme. Advise executive and operational leaders on key HSE risks, trends and priorities, encouraging ownership and accountability for HSE. Embed HSE into business planning, operational decision-making and organisational change.

Computer System Validation & GCP Compliance Consultant Company: Pharmaceutical/Biotech Quality and Regulatory Consultancy Location: Remote (UK) - Multiple Positions Package: Excellent hourly rates offered in line with experience, with the potential of a salaried position in the future. The Role in 20 Seconds You've spent several years working in and around clinical trial systems - EDC, IRT, CTMS, eTMF, ePRO, safety databases - either as a validation specialist, a quality lead, or the person a clinical operations team calls when a system needs to be inspection-ready. You know GCP well enough to spot the difference between a genuine data integrity risk and a paperwork exercise. You know how to walk into a clinical-stage biotech on a Monday morning, pick up a work package, and get on with it. Our client is a specialist GxP consultancy with a strong clinical-systems bias, built entirely on senior people. No juniors. No box-ticking. Their clients want experience and judgement, and you will be a face of the company on every engagement. If that sounds like the kind of place you'd actually want to work, keep reading. The Company A lean, specialist consultancy delivering GxP compliance and computer system validation services to a client base predominantly in the USA, EU and UK. The bulk of the work sits in the GCP space - clinical trial systems, clinical data quality, and inspection readiness for sponsors and CROs - though the team also picks up broader GxP work (GMP, GDP, GLP adjacent systems) where a client needs it. Most clients sit in the 30-200 employee range - organisations sophisticated enough to know exactly what they need, but lean enough that they don't have the internal QA resource to do it themselves. That's the gap this consultancy fills, and it's why the work is genuinely interesting rather than purely procedural. The model is deliberately small. Only experienced consultants are deployed. There's no layer of management between you and the client, and no junior to pass the awkward bits to. The team is small, friendly, and hardworking, and they are growing quickly - hence the reason for hiring. What You'll Actually Do The bread and butter: Execute defined work packages within validation projects for clinical trial systems (EDC, IRT, CTMS, eTMF, ePRO, safety databases), and increasingly lead smaller engagements end to end as you build a track record with the client base Plan and conduct GCP audits of clinical technology vendors, from agenda to audit report to corrective action closure Author and renovate SOPs, data integrity policies, and change control frameworks specific to clinical systems Support gap analyses and inspection readiness work ahead of MHRA, FDA, or EMA GCP inspections - work that actually prepares people, rather than a report that sits in a drawer Pick up broader GxP work as it comes in - vendor qualification, general quality documentation, or CSV outside the clinical space - for consultants who want the variety Act as a client contact on engagements - attending and sometimes chairing meetings, and presenting findings to clinical operations, quality, and IT stakeholders The less obvious bits that matter as much: Having the confidence to flag to a client when something is wrong on a trial critical system - and the judgement to know when to elevate versus handle it yourself Translating GCP requirements into proportionate, practical actions without gold plating and without cutting corners Keeping your piece of an engagement on track and within budget whilst managing client expectations Who We're Looking For You'll be a natural fit if: You've come up through clinical trial systems, clinical data management, or GCP focused quality/validation roles - in a sponsor, a biotech, a CRO, or a consultancy - and you've genuinely owned deliverables, not just contributed to them You're someone colleagues already come to when there's a GCP systems question that actually matters, rather than one that can be answered by reading the SOP You ask smart questions early rather than making assumptions, and your documentation doesn't come back needing heavy rework You're comfortable working independently in a remote model with real deadlines and defined accountability You'd be interested in picking up wider GxP work alongside your GCP core, rather than staying in a single lane 12+ years working with clinical trial systems or GCP focused quality/validation in a regulated environment Hands on experience validating or auditing at least one of: EDC, IRT, CTMS, eTMF, ePRO, or clinical safety database platforms Ability to write inspection ready documentation: validation plans, risk assessments, qualification protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), and audit reports Working familiarity with GAMP 5 concepts (software categories, V model, risk based testing) and key regulations including ICH E6(R3), EU Annex 11, and 21 CFR Part 11 Right to work in the UK without sponsorship Nice to have: Previous experience in a client facing consultancy role as opposed to purely in house Inspection experience with FDA, MHRA, or EMA specifically involving GCP systems Broader GxP exposure - GMP, GDP, or quality systems outside clinical trials - for consultants who want to flex across service lines Familiarity with eQMS implementation, data migration validation, or AI/ML in a GCP context RQA, ISPE, or DIA involvement ISO 27001 awareness or Lead Auditor certification What's Actually In It For You The practical stuff: Rates and salary based genuinely on experience - we won't be trying to lowball you at interview Remote working as the default - occasional client site visits, planned in advance Contract or permanent - both considered depending on what works for you Fractional engagements across multiple clients, usually 1 2 month assignments, with the option of a salaried role for the right person as the business grows The things that don't show up in a rate card: Clients who are building something - clinical stage biotechs constructing their trial infrastructure from scratch as they advance through phases, not large pharma running the same cycle they've run for twenty years Direct relationships with clinical ops leads, QA managers, and IT managers - because with staff rosters of people, you're rarely more than one step from the decision maker A client list where your name is on the work, not buried four layers down in a consulting pyramid No internal politics to navigate - small team, clear accountabilities The satisfaction of handing over something that will genuinely hold up under a GCP inspection The Honest Bit This is not a nine to five with a clear desk at five. Client deadlines are real, inspection windows don't move, and occasionally a deliverable needs to be right by Friday regardless of when it landed in your inbox. Remote working in a fractional/contract model requires genuine self management - there's no office to walk into and no one tracking your hours, so the only thing that matters is whether the work is good and the client is happy. If you've spent your career in large pharma with a lot of internal support around you, the step to a lean consultancy model can be bigger than it looks. If you've done it before, or if the idea of that autonomy is what's been missing from your current role, you'll probably love it. If you're more experienced than this ad suggests - closer to 20 years experience, with a track record of leading GCP or wider GxP engagements end to end - get in touch anyway. There are Senior and Principal Consultant conversations to be had as well, and it's a five minute chat to work out where you'd actually sit. All applications are treated confidentially.
