Manager/Sr. Manager- Regulatory & Clinical Affairs

We’re Elvie – a pioneer in the FemTech industry, developing cutting-edge smart technology to transform previously overlooked categories like breast pumping and pelvic floor health. Our mission is to empower women through radical, female-first innovation, breaking taboos and challenging stigma along the way.

Elvie recently joined forces with Willow, a fellow leader in FemTech and maternal health based in the U.S. This powerful combination brings together two iconic brands, combining a market-leading product portfolio with teams of world-class engineers, designers, and commercial experts. Together, we're set to shape the future of maternal health on a global scale.

As we embark on this exciting new transitional chapter, this role will play a pivotal part in helping to define and deliver our vision across international markets.

Did you know? In some regions our amazing products are considered to be medical devices. This means we maintain our Medical Device quality management system in compliance with ISO 13485:2016, to support the development of our groundbreaking products.

About the role:

Elvie has a need for a detail-oriented, passionate and dynamic individual with a desire to be an integral part of our growing Quality and Regulatory team. You respect rules and regulations but are not afraid to do things differently and challenge ‘business as usual’. You are able to understand and interpret global regulations to support the strategic placement of our growing portfolio of both medical and non-medical products into world-wide markets. Provide guidance to the cross-functional teams to successfully support and drive products to market, from R&D and Product Development, through to Sales and Marketing.

You are organised and logical and can form a clear path through the noise when complex decisions need to be made. You are able to work autonomously and be the authoritative voice for Regulatory Affairs. You can develop plans of action and communicate them with confidence to all functions and levels within the business.

You will have experience working within the Medical Device industry, in a global regulatory focused role. You are excited by the prospect of defining the regulatory strategy and best practices in a rapidly growing and exciting business. Experience with multi category product portfolios (consumer electronics, childcare products, cosmetics, etc) is highly desirable.

Location: UK, Remote Employment type: Permanent (please note, you must have the right to work in the UK)

What you’ll be doing at Elvie:

What we are looking for:

• A degree in a relevant engineering, design or science discipline (or equivalent qualification).
• Extensive experience in medical device regulatory affairs including direct experience working with EU Notified Bodies, EU Authorised Representatives, MHRA, US FDA, FCC and Health Canada. Experience in product placement in MDSAP countries would be an advantage.
• Ability to interpret worldwide regulations to ensure uninterrupted supply of our products to our customers.
• Experience ensuring a high level of compliance with MDR, ISO 13485, 21 CFR 820.
• Must be familiar with commonly used productivity & statistical software such as Microsoft Office, Google suite and eQMS solutions.
