Job description

A Head of Product Compliance typically leads the development and maintenance of quality management systems and regulatory strategies for complex hardware and software products. A strong candidate brings deep knowledge of EU and US regulations for medical devices or machinery, plus experience managing audits and submissions. For a company like Orbem, which builds MRI hardware and AI for food and agriculture, the role likely requires translating technical details into compliant documentation and guiding teams through certification.

How it fits the AI era

AI changes compliance work by automating document review, tracking regulatory changes, and flagging risks in product data. The human side remains essential for interpreting rules, making judgment calls, and building trust with regulators. This role sits at that intersection, ensuring AI driven products meet safety and quality standards without slowing innovation.

How it builds AI experience

Working at Orbem would give hands on experience with AI systems that inspect eggs and produce, including how to validate algorithms and manage data integrity for regulatory submissions. Building this experience could involve learning about AI risk frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, and applying them to real hardware. It is a chance to shape compliance for AI in agriculture, a field still forming its rules.

Worth showing

• EU and US compliance
