• Experience of successfully bringing consumer SaMD to the market in the US and the EU (class IIa and higher);
• Excellent knowledge of relevant medical device regulations and applicable practice in the EU and US;
• Knowledge of FDA’s ways of working and experience with advocacy with regulatory bodies;
• Experience in building quality management systems compliant with ISO 13485;
• Knowledge of relevant tooling to ensure compliance with ISO 13485;
• Knowledge of the digital health segment and approaches to certification of SAMD;
• Cross-functional project management experience;
• Managerial experience.

  • Document existing processes, and develop and document additional required processes and procedures.
  • Provide oversight of the creation and review of regulatory documents
