Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist (Senior IC or Manager)

Remote

Lexington Medical, Inc. is hiring a Senior Regulatory Affairs professional to lead global medical device submissions and regulatory strategy. For candidates who are not local to the Boston area, this role can be remote with expectations to work primarily aligned with US East Coast business hours and be willing to travel periodically to Bedford, MA to spend time in-person with colleagues. 

Company Overview:

Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company designing and manufacturing advanced minimally invasive surgical stapling solutions. Based in the Boston area, we operate with a singular focus on engineering excellence, smart manufacturing, and rapid iteration. Our products are used globally in critical surgical procedures, and we compete in a $6B+ surgical stapler market dominated by legacy technology.

Lexington is built for people who want to do meaningful, technically rigorous work in a high-expectation environment. We value learning capacity, ownership, and sustained excellence. Our teams move quickly, debate honestly, and take pride in delivering devices that improve patient outcomes around the world.

Role Overview: 

This role reports to the Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality and plays a central role in advancing Lexington Medical’s product pipeline and global footprint.

We are seeking a Senior Regulatory Affairs professional to own and drive regulatory strategy for new product development and global expansion. This role is intentionally flexible in level. Title and compensation will be aligned accordingly, as we care more about capability and impact than tenure or titles. We are open to hiring either:

  • A Senior Individual Contributor who is deeply hands-on and has led complex submissions, or
  • A Regulatory Affairs Manager who combines submission ownership with light people or program leadership.

The unifying requirement is demonstrated excellence. We are looking for someone who has personally led medical device regulatory submissions and can operate independently in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment.

This role partners closely with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and Commercial teams and plays a key role in getting new products into the operating room.

Responsibilities: 

This is a hands-on regulatory role with meaningful ownership across submissions, compliance, and day-to-day regulatory operations. Even if hired at the Manager level, this role remains deeply involved in execution.

  • Lead and author regulatory submissions for U.S. and international markets, including 510(k)s, PMAs or supplements, EU MDR technical documentation, and design dossiers
  • Own regulatory strategy and execution for new product development programs from early concept through commercialization
  • Serve as the regulatory representative on cross-functional product development teams, ensuring regulatory requirements are integrated throughout the product lifecycle
  • Support ongoing regulatory compliance activities, including change order review, design change assessments, and maintenance of existing clearances and approvals
  • Review and approve product labeling, instructions for use, and related materials to ensure regulatory compliance
  • Maintain awareness of evolving global regulations, standards, and guidance, including FDA requirements, EU MDR, MDSAP, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971
  • Participate directly in regulatory correspondence and interactions with regulatory authorities such as the FDA and Notified Bodies
  • Partner closely with Quality, Manufacturing, and Commercial teams to support audits, inspections, and day-to-day regulatory operations

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Science, Regulatory Affairs, or a related technical field
  • Typically 5–15+ years of experience in medical device regulatory affairs
  • Demonstrated ownership of FDA submissions as well as EU technical documentation
  • Extensive experience with post-market surveillance, including complaint handling support, vigilance reporting, trending, and regulatory maintenance activities
  • Experience with complex medical devices, including electromechanical systems and software-enabled products
  • Working knowledge of international regulatory frameworks and standards, including EU MDR, MDSAP, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional teams
  • High attention to detail combined with sound judgment and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to operate independently while partnering closely with engineering, quality, manufacturing, and commercial teams
  • RAC certification is a plus, but not required

Hint for applicants: the answer to the mystery question is 23.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
