Job Purpose:

The Clinical Software Engineer P3 (Audit Support) role provides experienced, hands-on operational support for clinical and pre-clinical software audit and vendor cybersecurity activities across Clinical, PreClinical, and IT environments. This role serves as a critical connector between Clinical and PreClinical teams, IT Security, Quality, and vendor owners, requiring a strong understanding of regulated documentation practices and systems. By owning day-to-day audit operations, documentation coordination, and tooling optimization, this position enables the broader audit team to focus on strategy, process maturity, and continuous vendor improvement while maintaining a patient-first focus on quality, compliance, and data integrity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide operational audit support spanning both Clinical and PreClinical organizations, ensuring alignment of cybersecurity and vendor risk activities across development and lifecycle stages.
• Act as a primary liaison between IT Security, Boston Scientific business owners, Clinical and PreClinical stakeholders, and external software vendors.
• Analyze audit and risk data to identify gaps, trends, and opportunities for vendor and process improvements that inform risk-based decision making.
• Own execution of routine and moderately complex audit support activities, including vendor evidence collection, review coordination, issue tracking, and follow-up.
• Maintain and optimize vendor risk, audit, and remediation records within the ServiceNow platform, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness.
• Coordinate controlled documentation associated with audits and vendor assessments, including proper storage, versioning, and traceability within document management systems such as Windchill.
• Apply knowledge of documentation governance, retention, and controlled workflows to ensure compliance with quality and regulatory expectations.
• Design, build, and maintain dashboards and reporting that provide visibility into vendor cybersecurity posture, audit status, trends, and key risk indicators across Clinical, PreClinical, and IT vendors.
• Support standardization and continuous improvement of audit support processes, templates, and workflows.
• Ensure timely, clear communication of audit requirements, findings, and remediation actions to internal stakeholders and vendors.
• Independently manages operational audit support for a defined portfolio of Clinical and PreClinical software vendors.
• Enables consistent execution of audit and cybersecurity activities across organizational boundaries and development phases.
• Reduces low-level operational workload for senior audit staff, allowing greater focus on strategy, risk prioritization, and vendor improvement initiatives.
• Improves documentation quality, traceability, and audit readiness through effective use and optimization of controlled document management systems.
• Provides a strong foundation for growth into senior audit, cybersecurity risk, vendor management, or program leadership roles.

Education & Experience:

• Level 8 Honors Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in cybersecurity, IT compliance, audit support, or vendor risk management within regulated environments.
• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow (IRM, TPRM, or related modules).
• Working knowledge of document control and documentation management systems such as Windchill.
• Demonstrated ability to provide operational support across cross-functional and cross-lifecycle teams.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
• Experience supporting clinical, preclinical, or medical device software environments desirable.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity and risk frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC) desirable. 
• Experience working with third-party vendors and outsourced service providers desirable. 
• Experience operating within Quality Management Systems (QMS) desirable. 
• Exposure to continuous improvement or Lean methodologies desirable.
