• Coordinate internal teams and external partners to ensure aligned delivery
• Lead transition from prototype to regulated device
• Proactively manage risks, dependencies, and key decisions
• Support QMS implementation and promote disciplined documentation and traceability

• Comfort working in an evolving, early‑stage company

If you’re motivated by building structure in fast‑moving environments and bringing innovative diagnostics to market, we’d love to hear from you.
