Role summary
Preload is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator (Surgical) to manage the regulatory and coordination aspects of their surgical data program. This role involves preparing IRB submissions, managing informed consent processes, ensuring HIPAA compliance, and coordinating with hospital sites and surgeons. The ideal candidate will have 2+ years of experience in a similar role, with hands-on experience in IRB processes, informed consent, and HIPAA. Experience with hospitals, surgeons, or medical device/surgical studies is preferred. The position is based in San Francisco and offers flexibility for part-time or contract arrangements.
**About Preload**
Preload builds the data layer for physical AI. Robots learn mostly from video, but human interaction is much richer: touch, force, and muscle activity. We build a wearable multimodal stack (egocentric video, tactile gloves, EMG) to capture how people actually interact with the physical world, and turn it into datasets robotics teams can train on. We're a YC (F26) team of PhD founders from Johns Hopkins and Caltech with backgrounds at Neuralink, Paradromics, and other neurotech companies.
**The role**
You'll own the regulatory and coordination side of our surgical data program: getting studies approved, keeping them compliant, and making hospital partnerships run smoothly so our field team can focus on collecting great data.
**What you'll do**
- Prepare and manage IRB submissions, amendments, and renewals
- Own informed consent processes and participant documentation
- Ensure HIPAA compliance and secure handling of clinical data
- Coordinate with hospital sites, surgeons, and research staff on approvals, scheduling, and logistics
- Build study protocols and processes that scale to new partner sites
**What we're looking for**
- 2+ years as a clinical research coordinator or in a similar clinical research role
- Hands-on experience with IRB processes, informed consent, and HIPAA
- Experience working with hospitals, surgeons, or academic medical centers
- Highly organized and comfortable managing many stakeholders
- Experience with medical device studies or surgical research is a plus; CCRC/CCRP certification is a plus
**Flexibility**
We're open to part-time or contract arrangements to start for the right person.
**Why join**
Early, in-person team in San Francisco, with travel to partner sites. You'll build the foundation of our surgical data program.
