The role
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in a pioneering biotechnology company using AI and peptide science to develop ingredients with real-world health impact.
You will join an ambitious, science‑led organisation where clinical evidence is central to the company’s credibility, growth and product success. This role offers the opportunity to work across the full clinical research lifecycle, partner with talented cross‑functional teams and contribute directly to the translation of breakthrough science into market‑ready innovation.
Nuritas is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome people who bring scientific excellence, curiosity and collaboration to our mission of improving the lives of billions through breakthrough peptide science.
The Role
This is a unique, hands‑on role sitting at the intersection of clinical research, nutrition science, R&D, AI enabled discovery and commercial scientific support.
The successful candidate will support and manage the clinical research programme, ensuring continuity across ongoing and planned studies, while also acting as a key scientific voice for the business. The role requires someone who can move comfortably between strategic evidence planning, clinical trial execution, data interpretation, scientific communication, and the operational detail required to keep a lean and ambitious function moving.
The role requires someone who can operate at pace across multiple parallel workstreams. The successful candidate will be able to move quickly between early‑stage discovery discussions, clinical trial design CRO and supplier management, clinical material readiness, data analysis, scientific interpretation, manuscript development, claims support and customer‑facing scientific communication.
You will work closely with the CSO, R&D, AI/Data, Commercial, Marketing, Regulatory, Operations and external partners to ensure clinical and nutrition science is translated into credible, clear and commercially relevant outputs.
What You’ll Do
Clinical Research, Trial Design & Evidence Generation
Translate in vitro, pre‑clinical and mechanistic data into clear clinical hypotheses and robust trial designs to support scientific substantiation and commercialisation of our ingredients.
Ensure clinical studies are designed and delivered in line with scientific, regulatory, commercial and business objectives.
Lead and manage clinical trial activities from concept through to publication, including feasibility, budgeting, protocol development, ethics submissions, trial documentation, data analysis, clinical study reporting and manuscript submission.
Maintain oversight of the current and upcoming clinical research pipeline, helping to prioritise studies in line with strategic value, available resources and business need.
Design and support in‑house case studies, early‑stage consumer testing and insight‑generation activities for new or developing ingredients.
Translate clinical outputs into clear, evidence‑based scientific narratives for internal and external use.
Clinical Trial Management & Governance
Act as the primary point of contact for Contract Research Organisations, clinical partners and relevant external providers.
Manage clinical research budgets, including forecasting project costs, tracking spend, reviewing supplier costs and identifying efficiencies across the clinical portfolio.
Manage day‑to‑day clinical trial operations, processes, timelines, deliverables, documentation and issue resolution.
Lead end‑to‑end material formulation for clinical trials and case studies.
Prepare, maintain and review clinical documentation to ensure appropriate quality, regulatory compliance and GCP alignment.
Analyse clinical and internal research data, applying appropriate biostatistical thinking to support robust interpretation and decision‑making with a view to scientific claim support.
Support effective clinical governance, ensuring studies are appropriately documented, tracked and communicated.
Support the integration of clinical data cross‑functionally for mining and warehousing.
Provide clinical scientific input into ingredient development, evidence generation and claims‑support activities.
Conduct and interpret literature reviews to support ingredient positioning, clinical strategy and scientific substantiation.
Help connect clinical evidence, nutrition science and product development in a way that supports both scientific credibility and commercial relevance.
Participate actively in R&D team activities, including scientific discussions, lab meetings, ingredient pipeline reviews and formulation discussions.
Scientific Communication & Commercial Support
Act as a leading scientific voice on Nuritas clinical research, representing the clinical evidence base confidently across internal and external settings.
Support the Commercial and Marketing team with technical expertise, customer‑facing scientific materials and scientific input for partner discussions tailoring the level of detail and framing for peer review, commercial discussions, customer engagement, marketing communication, and leadership decision‑making.
Lead writing of manuscripts for scientific publication, white papers, evidence summaries, claims support materials and science‑led marketing content.
Translate complex clinical and nutrition science into clear, credible and commercially useful communication.
Operational Excellence & Team Support
Maintain clinical project plans and relevant project management tools such as Monday.com, Asana or equivalent systems.
Manage purchase orders, supplier invoices and related administration associated with clinical projects.
Support clinical process improvement, documentation standards and operational consistency across the clinical programme.
Line manage and mentor a Clinical Research Assistant, providing direction, oversight and support to ensure their work is high quality and aligned to company priorities.
Operate with ownership, urgency and sound judgement in a fast‑paced, evolving environment.
What Success Looks Like
In this role, success will mean:
Clinical trial activity continues smoothly during the maternity cover period, with clear ownership, governance and momentum.
Clinical studies are well designed, well managed and aligned to business priorities.
CROs, suppliers and external partners are managed effectively, with timelines, budgets and deliverables under control.
Clinical data is translated into clear, credible scientific narratives that support R&D, commercial and marketing objectives.
Internal teams have access to high‑quality scientific input and evidence‑based guidance.
The clinical function remains organised, visible and well connected across the wider business.
What You’ll Bring
PhD in Nutrition, Biology, Life Sciences or a related scientific discipline.
Minimum 5 years’ relevant post‑PhD experience in industry, clinical research, nutrition science or an applied research environment.
Demonstrable end‑to‑end clinical trial experience, including protocol development, ethics submissions, study documentation, data analysis and clinical study report writing.
Proven ability to translate mechanistic, in vitro or pre‑clinical evidence into actionable clinical hypotheses.
Strong understanding of clinical trial governance, GCP principles and appropriate research documentation standards.
Experience working with CROs, external research partners or clinical service providers.
Strong scientific communication skills, with the ability to present complex data clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
Proficiency in data analysis and applied biostatistical interpretation.
Highly experienced in manuscript writing with strong track record of publications
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
High degree of personal accountability, judgement and follow‑through.
Comfortable working with autonomy, ambiguity and changing priorities.
Experience in nutraceuticals, functional foods, dietary supplements, health ingredients or adjacent nutrition/consumer health sectors.
Experience supporting commercial, sales or customer‑facing teams in a scientific capacity.
Existing network of CROs, statisticians, clinical investigators or relevant scientific service providers.
Familiarity with project management tools such as Monday.com, Asana or similar platforms.
Experience supporting claims substantiation, evidence dossiers, white papers or scientific marketing materials.
Previous line management or mentoring experience.
The Person
We are looking for someone who is scientifically rigorous, commercially aware and highly practical.
