Fully Remote – UK
Permanent | Full Time

CY Partners are working with a growing specialist consultancy to recruit a Quality & Regulatory Specialist to join their Medical Device and International Standards team.

This is an opportunity to work across a varied portfolio of client projects, supporting organisations with the quality, regulatory and technical challenges involved in developing and bringing medical technologies to market.

Rather than being focused on one product or organisation, you'll work with different clients and technologies, collaborating with experienced specialists across the business and taking responsibility for delivering your own projects.

What will you be doing?

Your work will be varied and could include:

• Developing regulatory strategies for clients

• Performing gap analyses and audits

• Advising clients on medical devices and management systems

• Creating and reviewing technical documentation

• Designing, implementing and supporting management systems

• Managing projects from initial scope through to delivery

• Working closely with colleagues from other specialist areas to provide joined-up support to clients

• Managing multiple client projects and priorities simultaneously

What are we looking for?

You don't necessarily need to tick every box.

We're interested in people who already have experience within medical devices, quality, regulatory affairs or another relevant regulated environment and who are comfortable working directly with clients and managing projects.

Experience in any of the following would be particularly useful:

• Medical Device Technical Documentation

• ISO 13485

• ISO 27001

• Gap analysis and auditing

• Quality or management systems

• Process and procedure development

• Software development or testing

• AI development or testing

• GDP, GMP or GCP

• IATF 16949 or AS9100

Just as importantly, you'll need to be organised, comfortable managing competing priorities and confident communicating technical or regulatory information to different stakeholders.

Why consider it?

The role is fully remote within the UK, with flexible working and face-to-face team events approximately once per quarter, with expenses covered.

You'll join a growing area of the business and work alongside experienced specialists and consultants with exposure to a broad range of clients and projects.

The company also offers private healthcare and, for the right person, support towards relevant professional certifications such as CQI, IRCA or RAPS/RAC.

Applicants must already be entitled to work in the UK.

If you're working within Medical Device Quality or Regulatory Affairs and would like a role offering greater variety, client exposure and the flexibility of working remotely, we'd be interested in speaking with you.

Yorkshire | Hybrid

CY Partners are partnering with a growing specialist MedTech business to recruit a Business Development Manager. This is a great opportunity to take the lead on developing new business and building relationships with organisations ranging from innovative start-ups to major global companies.

This isn't about selling a product. You'll be developing opportunities across a range of specialist consultancy, technical and development services, helping MedTech companies bring new technologies to market and support existing products.

You'll work closely with customers to understand what they're trying to achieve, identify where the business can add value and bring together the right regulatory, quality, clinical and technical expertise to support them.

We're open-minded about where you've gained your experience. You might already be working in business development or sales within Life Sciences, MedTech or scientific consultancy and be looking for an opportunity with more ownership and a genuinely consultative approach.

Alternatively, you could come from a scientific, technical, regulatory, quality or clinical background and be looking to move into a more commercially focused career. If that's you, you'll need strong customer facing experience, confidence building external relationships and ideally some exposure to conferences, exhibitions or industry events.

What will you be doing?

You'll take ownership of identifying and developing new business opportunities, building relationships from initial contact through to becoming established customers.

You'll also:

• Build and manage your own pipeline of prospective clients

• Develop relationships with key decision-makers across the MedTech industry

• Represent the business at major industry conferences and exhibitions

• Work closely with marketing on targeted campaigns and lead generation

• Support new customers through onboarding and help develop longer term relationships

• Work alongside an established commercial and technical team to turn opportunities into new business

Who are we looking for?

We're more interested in finding someone with the right combination of industry knowledge, commercial instinct and personality than someone who ticks every box.

You'll need to be confident speaking with customers, naturally inquisitive, proactive and comfortable developing relationships.

Previous sales experience would be valuable, but isn't essential. If you've built strong Life Sciences or MedTech knowledge in a customer-facing role and think your strengths could translate into business development, we'd be very interested in speaking with you.

The role will be hybrid and Yorkshire based, with occasional travel to customers and industry events across the UK and internationally.

For someone looking to build their career on the commercial side of Life Sciences, this is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage of growth and make the role your own.

Applicants must have full and current Right to Work in the UK.
