𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐰! 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Chairperson 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲: Diagnostics 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Cardiff, UK Our Cardiff-based client specialises in affordable, portable, easy-to-use molecular diagnostics. The company span out of the University of South Wales in 2020 and has developed its own platform technology (patent pending). The first product, launched in the UK market in March 2024, is a point-of-care test for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI). UTI diagnostics, in the UK and globally, are demonstrably inadequate, resulting in poor patient outcomes and poor antibiotic stewardship. The aim is to change UTI diagnostics, an objective that has been recognised by NICE as being of significant importance. They seek a Chair who will bring significant experience at Board level in the med-tech industry (diagnostics or pharma). Experience of working with and growing pre-revenue start-ups is desirable as is experience of raising investment. The next step is to raise Series A investment to propel the commercialisation of the test in the UK and across the globe. The ability to work as part of a diverse team is essential. Specific skills related to the later stages of the development of a medical diagnostic including registration and commercialisation in multiple geographies would be most helpful. This role will require up to 2 days a month, there are 10 board meetings a year. It will be modestly remunerated, at least before the next fundraise. They are seeking to fill the role as soon as possible.
