Cure Talent is partnered with an innovative medical device company developing novel technology ahead of a planned U.S. launch in 2028. As the company prepares for significant regulatory milestones, we have an exciting opportunity for a Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance Manager to join their growing team.


In this role, you will lead global regulatory strategy and compliance activities, focusing on FDA De Novo submissions, Q-Sub interactions, and wider international registrations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute regulatory strategy to support market entry, including De Novo and 510(k) submissions and FDA Q‑Sub meetings.
  • Prepare, review, and manage regulatory submissions and technical documentation in line with FDA, UK, and international requirements.
  • Liaise directly with regulatory authorities, notified bodies, and external partners to support submissions, audits, and inspections.
  • Maintain and improve the Quality Management System in compliance with ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820.
  • Lead the transition from a paper‑based QMS to an eQMS (Greenlight Guru).
  • Oversee supplier management, CAPA, non‑conformance, change control, document management, and audit processes.
  • Promote regulatory and quality awareness across the business and provide training to R&D and manufacturing teams.
  • Act as Management Representative, reporting on QMS performance, risk areas, and quality objectives to senior leadership.
  • Line‑manage and support QA staff responsible for day‑to‑day QMS maintenance and documentation.
  • Review and approve documentation related to product development, validation, risk management, and sterilisation.

Experience and Skills Required

  • Proven experience in Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance within the medical device sector.
  • Strong understanding of international frameworks and FDA pathways, including De Novo and 510(k).
  • In‑depth knowledge of ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820, QMSR, ISO 14971, and ISO 9001.
  • Experience leading or supporting QMS implementation projects, ideally eQMS (Greenlight Guru).
  • Skilled in CAPA, audit management, risk management, validation, and change control.
  • Excellent communication, organisation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Life sciences or engineering degree; relevant professional certifications advantageous.

If you’re an experienced RAQA professional seeking an opportunity to lead both regulatory strategy and QMS improvement for cutting‑edge medical technologies, we’d love to hear from you.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
