* Drive quality strategy as the company expands commercially and clinically

What We're Looking For

* 7 years of Medical Device Quality experience
* Experience with Class II and/or III devices
* Strong background in complaints, CAPA, audits, and QMS ownership
* Experience in a small-to-mid-size or scaling organization
* Expertise across design controls through post-market changes
* Prior leadership or mentorship experience

Why This Role?

* Join a company at an inflection point of growth and commercialization
