This is a senior leadership role where you'll oversee a small, capable team and take responsibility for regulatory compliance across multiple global markets, including the US, Canada, and Europe.
The focus is on someone who can bring real depth of experience with high-risk Class D devices, and who understands the complexities of IVDR, FDA and Health Canada regulations inside out.

* Act as Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance (PRRC) and ensure compliance with GMP and ISO13485
* Support post-market surveillance, vigilance and risk management processes
* Act as a key point of contact with regulatory bodies and external partners
* Work closely with other departments to align regulatory work with wider business priorities
* Maintain a regular on-site presence, with flexibility around hybrid or remote working
What you'll need:
* Extensive regulatory affairs experience within IVD or medical devices
* Proven track record with regulatory submissions for high-risk Class D devices
* Strong knowledge of IVDR, FDA and Canadian medical device regulations
* Hands-on experience of post-market compliance, risk and vigilance activities
