Regulatory Manager / Medical Devices (UK, Hybrid)


This one’s for the regulatory people who actually enjoy being close to the product.

I’m working with a UK-based medtech company building a connected medical device that’s already in use and heading into its next regulatory phase.


They’re looking for a Regulatory Manager who’s comfortable sitting at the intersection of Regulatory and Quality shaping strategy, owning submissions, and being the calm, credible voice when auditors, engineers and founders all want answers.


What you’d actually be doing

  • Owning regulatory strategy across the product lifecycle
  • Leading and coordinating submissions 510(k) experience essential and MDR desirable as this will be next)
  • Being the go-to person for auditors, notified bodies and regulators
  • Keeping the QMS tight, usable, and fit-for-purpose (ISO 13485, CAPA, risk, design controls)
  • Working closely with R&D, software, clinical and leadership, not sat in a silo
  • Helping shape how Quality & Regulatory scales as the product and business grow


The experience that matters

  • Solid medical device regulatory background (5+ years is the right ballpark)
  • FDA experience (successfully submitted a 510(k) submission
  • Software / connected device exposure is useful, not a blocker if you’ve worked closely with software teams
  • Confident communicator, you don’t disappear when questions get uncomfortable


A few important bits

  • Hybrid working - One day a week on-site (Mondays)
  • Seniority and scope to grow with the business
  • Open to permanent — and potentially contract
  • Salary flexible for someone who genuinely fits the brief
  • UK candidates only - No sponsorship offered.

Neurodiversity in Medical Technology Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Medical technology sits at the intersection of health, engineering & innovation. From imaging & diagnostics to digital health apps, wearables & surgical robotics, medtech is about solving complex real-world problems that directly affect patients’ lives. To do that well, the sector needs people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a regulated, safety-critical industry. In reality, many traits that made school or previous jobs difficult can be huge strengths in medical technology – from pattern-spotting in clinical data to meticulous attention to detail in device testing. This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring medical technology careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a medtech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common medtech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in medical technology – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

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.
