Developing next generation optical monitoring solutions designed to deliver medical grade physiological insights beyond the hospital environment, the business is now transitioning from research and development into industrialisation and regulated market entry.

We have an opportunity for a Senior Operations Coordinator / Office Manager to join the organisation at a pivotal point in its journey.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a newly created position within a small and ambitious team.

As the Senior Operations Coordinator / Office Manager, you will act as the operational hub across people processes, finance liaison, supplier coordination and Board administration. A key immediate priority will be owning and streamlining the onboarding process for new employees, ensuring systems, documentation and compliance processes are well organised as the company scales.

You will work closely with external HR, IT and accountancy partners, ensuring operational processes run efficiently and leadership has the information and coordination required to make informed decisions. In addition, you will support the CEO with preparation of Board papers, minute taking and follow up of action items, helping to establish strong governance foundations during this growth phase.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys being organised, proactive and close to the detail within a growing, fast paced MedTech environment. There is genuine opportunity for the role to broaden and develop as the organisation expands.

  • Experience supporting HR processes and employee lifecycle management.

  • Confidence liaising with external finance providers and supporting financial reporting activities.

  • Experience operating within a growing or scaling organisation, ideally within MedTech, healthcare or a regulated environment.

  • Strong organisational capability, discretion and the ability to operate independently within a small team.

    This is a high impact opportunity for a dynamic Senior Operations Coordinator / Office Manager within a growing wearable MedTech business. It will suit an organised, proactive professional who enjoys ownership and wants to play a meaningful role in shaping how a business operates as it grows.

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.
