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 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.
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.
