Regulatory and Quality Manager

QARA Manager (Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs)

About PointCaré

Anesthesiologists and intensivists work with a constant stream of monitoring data, lab results and patient records, often under intense time pressure. PointCaré develops ontarget, a clinical decision support platform for perioperative and critical care that combines real-time patient data with medical knowledge to help care teams anticipate, understand and act.

ontarget is developed within the framework of the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). That makes quality and regulatory work a core part of how we build, not something that comes afterwards.

The role

As QARA Manager, you own our quality management system and the regulatory strategy for our medical device software. You make sure the product meets all applicable requirements, both before and after it reaches the market. You report directly to the CEO and take quality and regulatory decisions on their merits, independently of commercial or development pressure.

What you will do

Quality management system

• Maintain and further develop our QMS in line with ISO 13485, keeping processes proportionate, workable and effective
• Act as management representative, reporting on QMS performance and promoting quality awareness across the organisation

• Lead post-market surveillance, complaint handling and vigilance, including reportability decisions and regulatory reporting
• Work with the CTO on information-security obligations that affect product quality and compliance

Your mandate

This role comes with real authority. You approve QMS procedures and can require their application by every team. You can halt a release or change when quality or regulatory requirements are not met, approve or reject technical documentation and regulatory submissions, and you have direct access to top management on any matter affecting product safety or compliance.

• Experience establishing or maintaining a QMS in a small or scaling company
• Experience with clinical evaluation, post-market surveillance, vigilance and complaint handling
• Sound judgement and the confidence to hold your position on a quality or regulatory matter, even under pressure
