About us:

The new European Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) ensures high standards of quality and safety for medical devices that are being produced in Europe or being supplied to the European market. EU MDR is establishing a robust, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework to ensure a high level of health and safety whilst supporting innovation.

In addition, the role serves as the Business Product Owner for Data Management, ensuring that the data needs of EU MDR partners are surfaced, defined and delivered via the ongoing evolution of the Data Management solution. As the EUDAMED modules are now coming online and are a foundational requirement for compliance with the new regulation, this role will become increasingly visible across not just the program, but amongst partners and the executive EU MDR Steerco.

Coupled with the servicing of significant data needs, via Data Management - such as UDI, Vigilance, Economic Operator Verification checks etc - the role is the go-to point for all data and EUDAMED aspects of the program in fulfilling our EU MDR obligations.

• Ensure a robust data governance model is implemented – demonstrating existing practices and principles implemented within Med Device

• Navigate partner expectations and needs effectively in terms of feasible outcomes/expectations

This is an outstanding opportunity and a highly visible role, operating under a level of autonomy and self-direction but which requires a keen understanding of Medical Devices, our technology landscape and the EU MDR itself, with the ability to engage and affect outcomes successfully, by adapting and applying leadership, program management and risk mitigation skills.
