Regulatory Compliance MD
Navigating policies and remaining compliant in an ever-changing world is extremely challenging, and the life sciences is a prime example of where this challenge can affect the wider world. The life sciences industry accounts for the health and wellbeing of a global humanity, and in doing so, they need to ensure that every product and device entering the market is both safe and effective.
The regulatory compliance MDR rule is a piece of European legislation that oversees the production and release of medical devices – the rule is in place to ensure that every new medical device is safe for application per individual use. For companies manufacturing said medical devices, they will need to add a person responsible for regulatory compliance MDR to their team. This professional (whose title is usually abbreviated to PRRC) is responsible for piloting the manufacturing and testing processes in line with the MDR regulations. This includes checking whether or not the device conforms with the established set of regulations, maintaining and developing the technical documents related to the manufacturing processes and device, performing post-market audits and surveillance, and overseeing any quality management systems, to name a few.
Generally, a PRRC will have a specialised degree in a relevant life sciences field, but not all regulatory affairs jobs will require this – four years of experience in medical services or other compliance roles could make for a suitable candidate in many instances. This role is essential in a company’s efforts to remain compliant while bringing new devices to the market, and it will likely be one that’s hard to fill in today’s talent-short market. Thankfully, BioTalent are here to help. We have the means, the contacts, and the passion required to find the best compliancy candidates for the job at hand.

Life Sciences in Dublin
Dublin is an enchanting place. It’s a city like no other – ripe with a rich and storied history, a beautiful uniqueness, the finest pubs on the planet, and, for a long time now, a thriving life sciences scene. A wealth of various initiatives has helped the city develop a sturdy infrastructure upon which plenty of visionary companies have built their presence.
These initiatives include BioInnovate, a programme designed to help people from STEM backgrounds work on medical devices to combat unmet healthcare needs, and the funding opportunities from Enterprise Ireland, who invest in high potential life sciences startups.
In a report by Silicon Republic, 20 of the world’s top life sciences companies operate on the Irish shores, including Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lily, who both have centres in Dublin, employing a combined 4,300 employees across Ireland.
Dublin is home to not only a wide range of industries, but some fantastic STEM courses too, and it boasts a wide (and young) talent pool. Unfortunately, there’s a global talent shortage out to throw a spanner in the works, making hiring top candidates in the life sciences an even more competitive process than it usually is.
