You will join our small, dedicated team committed to delivering the best molecular diagnostics for patients with cancer, today and in the future. With short lines of communication and a wide variety of responsibilities, you can apply your expertise where it truly matters. You will have the autonomy to take ownership and work independently, while collaborating with other disciplines. This is your opportunity to make a direct impact as a senior Regulatory Compliance Officer within an organization with an important mission.

Your Role
Hartwig Medical Foundation contributes to building a learning healthcare system by analyzing molecular and clinical data to support personalized clinical decision-making, using our in-house developed software. In this role, you will ensure that our IVD/MD products meet regulatory and quality standards throughout their lifecycle. You will guide products from design to market release from regulatory perspective, coordinate risk management, oversee post-market surveillance, and serve as the main point of contact for regulatory authorities. In addition, you will help align accreditation strategies, educate colleagues, and advise management on regulatory matters.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead IVD/MD compliance for software products and tools, including the creation and maintenance of technical documentation for new products and version releases.
• Coordinate and align the organization's accreditation strategy and implementation plans with international quality requirements of our clients and product users.
