Senior Director, Regulatory Affairs - CMC, Regulatory Operations & Lifecycle Management

Biopharmaceuticals are continuing to grow in popularity, with more compounds reaching clinical trials and regulatory approval. During biopharmaceutical research and development, an important step is the accurate determination of structure & function of these molecules. A key technique used in this process is LC-MS, along with a multitude of specialised mass spec assays like HDX.

In this role, you will be responsible for the characterisation of proteins to elucidate their structure, function, and degradation pathways. Utilising an impressive suite of LC-MS instrumentation inc Orbitraps and other high resolution instruments, you will design and conduct analyses along with reporting your findings.

Responsibilities will also include close liaison with other members of staff at sites located around the world and academic collaborators.

You must possess a strong analytical background, including experimental design, data/results analysis and report presentation. Experience and a thorough understanding of protein/peptide chemistry is essential, along with a familiarity of using LC-MS to characterise proteins.

The company offers an excellent working environment with state of the art facilities and genuine opportunities for progression - an excellent career move

Medical Technology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the medical technology (MedTech) jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Hospitals and health systems are under pressure to do more with less. Diagnostics and devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more regulated. AI, robotics and remote monitoring are no longer “future tech” – they’re being built into mainstream care pathways. At the same time, budgets are tight, funding cycles are uneven and some healthtech start-ups are consolidating or being acquired. That means fewer vague “innovation” roles and more focus on medical technology jobs that directly support regulatory approval, patient safety, NHS adoption and commercial growth. Whether you are a MedTech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams for medical device, diagnostics or digital health companies, this guide breaks down the key medical technology hiring trends for 2026.

Medical Technology Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK medical technology hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise regulatory‑aware product delivery (QMS, ISO 13485), software lifecycle & risk (IEC 62304/14971), usability (IEC 62366), clinical & regulatory strategy (MDR/UKCA), device cyber security & privacy, and measurable patient/clinical and commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for SaMD engineers, AI/ML in medical devices, product & quality engineers, regulatory/clinical affairs specialists, validation/verification, manufacturing/operations, and digital health roles. Who this is for: Software/firmware engineers in medtech, SaMD/AI engineers, systems & verification engineers, quality & regulatory affairs (QARA), clinical evaluation/PMCF specialists, human factors engineers, medical device cyber security & privacy, test/validation, manufacturing & operations, field/service engineers, and medtech product managers in the UK.

Why Medical Technology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Medical technology (medtech) is transforming healthcare in the UK — from wearable sensors to AI diagnostic tools, from surgical robots to telemedicine platforms. Advances in hardware, software, data and connectivity are enabling more personalized, efficient and accessible care. But with great power comes great responsibility. As medical devices and health technologies enter hospitals, clinics and consumers’ homes, professionals in this domain must master much more than engineering and algorithms. They must also understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. That is, medtech careers are now deeply multidisciplinary. In this article, we explore why medical technology careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five allied fields now intersect with medtech work, and what job-seekers and employers should do to succeed in this evolving ecosystem.
