Cure Talent are delighted to be partnered with a global medical device organisation recognised as one of the most established and successful healthcare companies in the world. With a diverse international footprint and a strong pipeline of innovation, the business continues to invest heavily in next-generation technologies and regulatory excellence.
We have an brand new opportunity for a Regulatory Affairs Manager to lead the EU Regulatory Strategy for a brand new Class III medical device. This is a strategically significant role within a highly experienced global regulatory function.
While based in Maidenhead, you would need to travel to the Oxford site twice a week.
As the Regulatory Affairs Manager, you will define and drive the EU regulatory pathway under MDR 2017/745 for a new product programme. You will lead regulatory strategy development from early-stage development through to submission and approval, ensuring alignment with global regulatory, clinical and R&D teams.
This position is centred on regulatory project leadership rather than line management. While there is no direct people management initially, the scope and visibility of the programme offers long-term progression potential.
To be successful as the new Regulatory Affairs Manager, you will bring proven experience leading EU regulatory strategy for Class III medical devices, ideally within a structured global organisation. You will be confident defining approval pathways under MDR 2017/745, comfortable operating at project leadership level across R&D, Clinical and global Regulatory teams, and experienced in managing Notified Body interactions. You will combine technical depth with the ability to influence stakeholders, manage complex timelines and take ownership of a high-visibility regulatory programme from concept through to approval.

* Lead regulatory project management activities, integrating with global RA, Clinical Affairs and R&D teams.
