You will have the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of regulatory strategy in one of the most exciting areas of medical device regulation, prescribed digital therapeutics. You will also be involved in our collaborations with colleagues at the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health at the Technical University of Dresden, and at the Technical University of Munich, with projects at the cutting edge of regulatory science focused on real-world evidence generation, post-market surveillance, and improving informed consent processes for data sharing. We are committed to providing the successful candidate with opportunities for professional growth, cross-functional collaboration, and active participation in shaping the future of metabolic disease management.
Note that this role is initially planned to be part-time (0.5 FTE), but there will be opportunities to increase this to full-time for the right candidate.

- Maintaining and optimising Management Systems: besides ensuring that our Quality Management System and Information Security Management System adhere to the relevant standards and regulations (MDR, GDPR, ISO 13485, ISO 27001), you will identify opportunities to make our processes even more agile and robust, and execute your ideas for improvement in collaboration with software engineers, clinical experts, and product experts.
- Compliance Audits and Inspections: Participate in internal and external audits and inspections, gaining hands-on experience in compliance verification.
Besides these core tasks, there will also be opportunities to be involved in:
- Training and Education Initiatives: Develop and deliver training sessions on regulatory requirements and updates for internal teams, enhancing overall regulatory awareness and competency within the company.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Work with academic collaborators, regulatory bodies, industry groups, and other stakeholders to contribute to the advancement of regulatory science and to advocate for our innovative digital therapeutics solutions.
