Regulatory Consultant (Permanent) – SaMD and AI Focus

Fully Remote UK or Ireland - Must be based in the UK / Ireland with the right to work


Imagine starting your day from the comfort of your home office, connecting with a MedTech startup on the cusp of launching their first AI-powered diagnostic platform. They’re bright, ambitious, and full of ideas, but need someone with your regulatory know-how to steer their path to market.


By lunchtime, you’re deep in a design review for another client, translating complex engineering data into compliant, audit-ready documentation. Your afternoon might be spent advising a founder on clinical evaluation strategy or reviewing a technical file for FDA submission.


Every day brings something different, but each moment builds towards the same goal - helping innovative MedTech companies get their products safely and successfully into global markets.


You’ll be part of a small but growing consultancy that specialises in supporting SaMD and digital health developers across the UK and EU. Their collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture means you’ll never work in isolation, and you’ll have the chance to grow your expertise alongside other talented professionals who share your passion for innovation.


The Opportunity

  • Variety and Impact: Work on diverse, high-impact projects spanning early-stage startups to established SMEs developing cutting-edge SaMD and AI-driven devices.
  • Flexibility: A fully remote position giving you the freedom to work from anywhere in the UK or Ireland.
  • Growth and Leadership: An opportunity to grow and lead a developing division within a consultancy expanding its SaMD and digital health offering.
  • Technical Depth: The chance to round off and fine-tune your specialist technical skills in SaMD while tackling complex regulatory challenges.
  • Career Development: Join a consultancy with a proven record of internal development and promotion.
  • Collaborative Environment: Work alongside experienced specialists who value honesty, integrity, and humour in their daily interactions.
  • Purpose: Play a direct role in bringing meaningful health technologies to patients worldwide.


How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Guide clients through regulatory pathways for EU MDR, IVDR, and FDA submissions.
  • Prepare and review technical documentation, design dossiers, and clinical evaluation reports.
  • Support design and product risk management activities from concept to post-market phases.
  • Advise on post-market surveillance and vigilance processes.
  • Help shape early-stage development strategies for new SaMD and AI-based technologies.
  • Ensure compliance with global regulatory requirements and contribute to client success stories.


The Kind of Person Who Will Thrive Here

  • Proven experience in regulatory affairs, ideally within SaMD, AI, or digital health.
  • Strong understanding of EU MDR, IVDR, and FDA 510(k) frameworks.
  • Background in engineering, life sciences, or a related technical discipline.
  • Excellent communication skills and a personable, solutions-focused approach.
  • The confidence to manage multiple projects while providing clear, practical regulatory advice.


Who You’ll Be Joining

This is a small but expanding regulatory consultancy that has built its reputation on trust, quality, and deep technical expertise. The team is growing to meet demand from MedTech innovators developing next-generation digital and software-based medical devices. Their collaborative culture encourages learning, career development, and a sense of shared purpose - helping clients overcome regulatory hurdles while enabling safe, effective technologies to reach patients faster.

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.

Medical Technology Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern MedTech Department
