Regulatory Affairs plays a vital part in the process! Ensuring our products are and remain compliant to the needs of the market, and needs of patients. Our products are in 100 countries globally, and supporting this takes a huge effort.
Supporting this work, we're looking for a Regulatory Affairs Specialist, where you'll play an important role in preparing and supporting both US and international regulatory submissions and strategies for our growing portfolio. This role will be focused on our Sports Medicine franchise based in the US, that serves our patients and customers to live Life Unlimited.

You'll be guided by acting ethically, as this notion sits at the heart of our team. This role ensures that products provided to patients are safe and effective, exercising regulations with a foundation of ethics and care. You'll be a creative problem solver with strong critical thinking skills, adept at finding solutions where not everything is black and white.
