Your expertise will directly influence how the organization navigates the evolving intersection of digital innovation and regulatory science, making you a critical voice in cross-functional governance and a trusted advisor to senior leadership.
You will collaborate closely with Device Engineering, Device Quality, and Commercial teams, representing the regulatory function in global project teams and contributing to the continuous evolution of regulatory knowledge and best practices across the organization. This is a rare opportunity to operate at the forefront of a rapidly evolving regulatory discipline, with global reach and meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
