Job description

We are looking for a Q&R manager to run our QMS and to ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements. Since the role will require primarily hands‑on tasks and teamwork, we are open to a junior candidate with limited experience.

As a quality manager

To do so, you implement effective quality measures throughout the product lifecycle, from development to production, supply chain, and post‑market activities. You are responsible for maintaining, strengthening and extending the existing quality management system across all functions and systems, and you support the development team in creating and maintaining the technical and design history files.

As a regulatory manager, you are responsible for obtaining the marketing approvals for our products.

You facilitate the company's mission to develop innovative products and foster efficient solution‑finding for the challenges ahead.
