- Providing clinical input into the ISO 14971 Risk Management Process

- Working collaboratively with regulatory and quality specialists to ensure documentation is submission-ready
What you'll need to succeed
- Extensive experience in Clinical Evaluation for medical devices
- Proven track record authoring CEPs and CERs

- Strong understanding of UK MDR and medical device regulatory requirements
- Experience contributing to technical files and technical documentation packages
- Knowledge of ISO 14971 Risk Management
- Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality documentation to tight timelines
- Experience with Class I medical devices
