Your Role: at the heart of clinical data management lies a critical challenge: turning complex, evolving business needs into precise, actionable system requirements. As a Requirements Engineer for Clinical Trial Systems, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the quality and integrity of a global Operational Data Repository programme — directly enabling faster, more reliable clinical trial execution across the organisation.

In this role, you will own the review, improvement, and creation of Functional Requirement Specifications, ensuring they are precise, complete, and aligned with both business intent and technical feasibility. You will identify gaps, resolve ambiguities, and simplify complex business rules without losing their essential meaning. Working at the intersection of clinical operations and information technology, you will facilitate structured requirement reviews with cross-functional stakeholders and drive meaningful improvements to documentation standards, traceability, and requirement governance. Your work will directly influence the reliability and scalability of the data platforms that underpin clinical trial operations.

Who You Are

- You bring 5 or more years of experience as a Business Analyst, with a strong track record of delivering high-quality requirement specifications in complex, cross-functional environments. A professional certification such as Certified Business Analysis Professional, PMI Professional in Business Analysis, or International Requirements Engineering Board certification is an advantage.
- You have 3 or more years of hands-on experience with clinical trial data and processes, giving you a solid understanding of how data flows through clinical operations and what is required to support compliant, audit-ready systems.
- You are skilled at facilitating requirement workshops and stakeholder reviews, translating diverse perspectives into clear, consistent, and actionable documentation.
- You have practical experience working with data platforms, system integrations, and application programming interfaces, and you understand the technical constraints that shape feasible requirements.
- You have worked in regulated environments and are familiar with Good Practice standards applicable to clinical data systems, including the expectations around validation, traceability, and change control.
- You bring strong analytical skills and a meticulous attention to detail, with the ability to identify inconsistencies, redundancies, and gaps across large sets of requirements.
- You hold a degree in Information Technology, Life Sciences, Business, or a related field, or bring equivalent professional experience that demonstrates the same depth of knowledge.
- You demonstrate AI literacy: you understand how artificial intelligence technologies work, their practical applications and limitations, and the ethical considerations around bias, fairness, privacy, and accountability — enabling you to critically assess AI-driven tools and make informed, responsible decisions in your role.
