[Hiring] Principal Clinical Safety Specialist @Anteris Tech
Anteris® Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.
Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR® THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT® anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.
We are seeking an experienced Safety Specialist to lead and execute global safety activities across clinical development and post-market phases of our structural heart programs. This role is critical to ensuring patient safety, regulatory compliance, and the integrity of our global pivotal trial and commercialization strategy. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience in Class III implantable cardiovascular devices, ideally transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
