Quality Assurance Manager in Stevenage

Cure Talent are delighted to be partnered with a specialist medical device manufacturer whose portable neonatal incubators are deployed in some of the world's most challenging environments, from emergency responses in active conflict zones to hospitals across multiple international markets including the US and Australia. It is a business with a clear social purpose and serious commercial momentum, having grown sales by more than 10x year-on-year. FDA-cleared and scaling fast, the team is small, pragmatic, and genuinely committed to the work they do. This is not a corporate quality role.

The Opportunity

As Quality Manager, you will take full ownership of the ISO 13485 QMS and lead quality activity across the business. Working closely with the leadership team and based primarily on-site in Stevenage, Hertfordshire with one day per week working from home, you will be expected to hit the ground running across a broad remit that includes:

• Maintaining, developing and continuously improving the QMS in line with ISO 13485:2016 and applicable medical device regulations
• Leading non-conformity management, CAPA, change control, document control and training processes
• Planning and conducting internal, supplier and Notified Body audits
• Managing supplier qualification, monitoring and performance reviews
• Supporting batch release, traceability, complaint handling and post-market surveillance activities
• Contributing to CE marking maintenance under the MDR, Clinical Evaluation Reports, PSURs and wider regulatory documentation
• Maintaining awareness of regulatory changes and supporting the company's broader regulatory strategy

This role comes with a defined pathway for growth. For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to broaden into regulatory affairs and progress toward a senior regulatory leadership position, including potential PRRC responsibility, as the business continues to develop.

What We're Looking For

• Proven quality management experience within the medical device industry
• Strong ISO 13485 knowledge, including hands‑on QMS development and maintenance
• Experience planning and conducting internal and supplier audits, with exposure to Notified Body audits
• A solid grasp of CAPA management, non‑conformance handling and document control
• Working knowledge of the EU MDR, with FDA QMSR experience a plus
• An interest in regulatory affairs and the ambition to grow into it
• A practical, roll‑your‑sleeves‑up mindset suited to a fast‑moving SME

Why This Role

A rare chance to join a mission‑led MedTech business at a pivotal point in its growth, with genuine ownership of quality operations from day one and a clear pathway toward senior regulatory responsibility.
