REGULATORY AFFAIRS SPECIALIST at Vitestro

Reporting to Jasmine Beukema, Head of RA & QA, and as part of the regulatory team, you will share responsibility for all the Regulatory Affairs within the company. Several regulatory consultants are involved, each with their own expertise to help us crack the most difficult regulatory challenge. There are no comparable devices on the market yet; Vitestro will be the first company in the world to receive CE approval on the device. Your timing is perfect: you will be joining Vitestro during probably the most interesting and challenging period, as the next 12 months will be incredibly important. Additionally, Vitestro is preparing an FDA submission. The system consists of a variety of subsystems and disposables, which each bring their own technical, clinical and regulatory challenges. Building a new device means you have to invent quite a lot, meaning: interpret regulation and translate it to the device. You need to be confident enough to bring your convictions to the technical group and stand your ground, but also be able to do this in an amicable way.

Your key responsibilities

• Stay updated on changes in regulations and guidelines and develop strategies to ensure compliance
• Provide input and guidance to cross-functional teams regarding regulatory requirements, timelines and strategies for successful market access

• You love to work on the toughest challenges
• You’ll find cutting-edge solutions
• You strive for excellence in all domains

What you will bring

• At least 5 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs for medical devices, backed with a BSc in a technical or scientific field
• Demonstrable achievements in bringing innovative MedTech products to the market and obtaining regulatory approvals (including CE and preferably FDA), strong knowledge of MDR
• Excellent written English communication skills, in particular strong in regulatory writing. You’re a confident communicator, with a positive - somewhat scientific - mindset, you know how to fail and get back on your feet again
• Experience with and knowledgeable in a multitude of widely used standards such as risk management (ISO 14971), usability (IEC 62366), biocompatibility (ISO 10993), basic safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), software development (IEC 62304)

What we offer

• Competitive salary including pension plan
• 25 days of annual leave based on a full-time position
• Stock options, to become ‘co-owner’ of a fast-growing company
• Hybrid work model
• Working together in a high-skilled team with our home base in Utrecht
• Frequent out-of-work activities with our team (such as our Skitestro ski-trip)
• Training budget of €2000
• Opportunity to be key shaper of a new global industry niche: autonomous medical robotics

We offer an environment where you can make a lot of impact, as you are joining a growing scale-up in MedTech. Our team of driven and talented colleagues enjoys solving the challenges in developing, manufacturing, and completing our breakthrough medical device. While working in an open culture, we strive for excellence in all domains. We believe in taking courage and like to challenge each other.
