  • Assess the regulatory impact of manufacturing, clinical, and labeling changes.
  • Maintain regulatory documentation and track commitments, submission milestones, and approval status.
  • Monitor relevant regulatory developments and explain their implications to project teams.
  • Support inspection readiness and regulatory process improvements.

Required Qualifications
