Quality & Regulatory Affairs Lead - Digital Health in London

At Beam, you get to do work that matters for the world. We’re solving the world's toughest social problems with an incredible team, tech and AI. Join a company at the forefront of social impact, driving first‑of‑its‑kind positive change. You’ll be part of a high‑performance culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.

Are you an expert in all things medical device regulation and healthtech, who thrives in high ownership, cross‑functional roles? We are looking for a Quality & Regulatory Affairs Lead – Digital Health to own clinical compliance and regulation across our healthcare products. In this highly operational, high‑ownership role, you will drive Beam towards Class IIa medical device certification for our products, while being the day‑to‑day contact for all things cross‑functionally healthcare.

You will be the guardian of our clinical regulatory status – from DCB documentation and ISO standards through to our quality management system, ongoing clinical evaluations, and our engagement with the MHRA and DHSC. This isn’t your typical regulatory role. We’re building out a healthcare team and you’ll be our detail‑oriented "founding generalist" within it, wearing many hats.

In a typical week you might:

• Progress a Class IIa submission
• Shape the healthcare product roadmap with our PM
• Scope an NHS EPR integration
• Run a clinical evaluation
• Train the team on a new process
• Bring in external advice exactly where we need it

You’ll set the roadmap for our clinical operations and have a clear sense of when to expand or hire in additional resource. We are keen to use AI to automate wherever we can, and we’ll encourage you to find efficiencies in how we work, meaning your focus stays on high‑accuracy regulatory review, strategic planning, and being the subject‑matter expert the whole company can rely on.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn the ins and outs of our technical architecture, master the regulatory pathway for AI‑enabled medical software, and play a pivotal role in driving rapid growth in the healthcare side of our business.

You will be:

• Owning clinical compliance and the regulatory roadmap: Taking ownership of medical device classifications and DCB documentation, and driving Class IIa medical device regulation for our products.
• Driving certification through to completion: Owning timely audits, compliance, and submissions, while building out the QMS and the processes within the team.
• Shaping the healthcare product roadmap: Working hand‑in‑hand with the PM and product team on healthcare‑required initiatives, from ongoing clinical evaluations to integrations with NHS EPR systems.
• Being the subject‑matter expert: Acting as the go‑to authority on clinical status and medical device regulation, training the team, and engaging the MHRA and DHSC to keep a long‑term view of likely changes, including international equivalent standards and regulations outside the UK.
• Driving operational excellence: Setting a clear roadmap for healthcare operations and compliance initiatives, agreeing priorities and resourcing, and knowing when to bring in external contractors, agencies, or new hires.
• Keeping everyone aligned: Making sure every team that interfaces with this role – Commercial, Product, Legal, Trust and Safety, Senior Leadership, and our Clinical Safety Officer – has a clear sense of what is happening, when, why, and who owns it.

You are:

• A Compliance Manager with experience owning clinical compliance and regulation roadmap (Medical Device Classifications; DCB docs), including driving Class IIa medical device regulation.
• An expert in working with PMs on healthcare‑required product roadmaps (e.g. ongoing clinical evaluations; integrations with NHS EPR systems; etc.).
• A skilled project manager in complex, multi‑functional environments related to compliance – coordinating across teams to deliver at pace.
• A Detail‑Oriented Operator: You have a sharp eye for detail and take pride in getting complex regulatory work exactly right, with precision and consistency.
• A Reliable Independent Worker: You are a dependable executor who just gets the job done. You don't need constant hand‑holding, but you are also a fantastic, collaborative teammate.
• Technically Curious: You are comfortable talking about products and AI, eager to learn how data flows across our infrastructure, and able to work closely with product and engineering on integrations.
• A Clear Communicator: You effortlessly engage stakeholders, break down regulatory nuance, and are an active, empathetic listener – confident and credible in customer‑facing situations.
• Commercially Minded and Driven: You understand that a lot of the compliance roadmap will be shaped by commercial priorities, and you build and drive team momentum.
