Engagement Manager - CDD Life Sciences & Healthcare

We’re two early-stage medical technology startups — Precure and Pluto — building the future of healthcare.
Our products combine software and medical innovation to help clinicians, researchers, and health organisations deliver better outcomes.

We’re at the exciting part — building, experimenting, and scaling. We already have partners in Portugal and are expanding across Europe. To help us grow, we’re looking for a Commercial Associate who’s ready to get stuck in, take ownership, and help turn great technology into real-world impact.

This will not be an easy position. You'll have to wear multiple hats but be at the cutting edge of an industry thats growing globally and be able to grow with the business. You'll get exposure of the full business process from conversations about company incorporation to negotiating rates with government bodies.

The Opportunity

You’ll sit at the intersection of sales, partnerships, and strategy — working directly with founders to help shape how our businesses grow.
Your day-to-day might include:



Structuring pilots and partnerships with hospitals, clinics, or research partners

*

Running demos and presentations that bring our software to life

*

Managing early sales conversations, from first contact to close

*

Building and nurturing relationships with clinicians, partners, and investors

*

Feeding insights from the field back into product development and go-to-market plans

You’ll be a key part of a small team — learning how to build, sell, and scale an early-stage tech company from the ground up.

Who You Are

We’re not looking for a traditional salesperson — we’re looking for someone who’s curious, entrepreneurial, and genuinely interested in how technology can change healthcare.

You might be:

*

1–3 years out of university, or more established and looking to move into startups

*

Experienced (or just naturally good) at building relationships and communicating clearly

*

Comfortable around technology and software, even if you’re not an engineer

*

Energised by problem-solving and making things happen with limited resources

*

Happy operating in a fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environment

*

Portuguese-speaking or experienced in Portuguese markets (a big plus)

What We Offer

*

£30,000–£50,000 depending on experience

*

Direct access to founders and real ownership of projects

*

Flexible working (we’re a distributed team across the UK and EU)

*

Fast learning curve in medtech, business development, and software innovation

*

A front-row seat in two growing startups with international reach

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
