• Establish and monitor KPIs covering data quality, monitoring effectiveness, trend timeliness, signal management, action closure, tool performance and improvement delivery.
• Represent the function during internal and external audits, notified body assessments, regulatory inspections and agency interactions.
• Lead, coach and develop a global multidisciplinary team, creating clear expectations, strengthening technical capability and providing constructive feedback that supports growth and accountability.
• Partner across Complaint Handling, Vigilance, Medical and Clinical, Regulatory, Risk Management, R&D, Operations, Commercial, Customer Service, Legal and Quality Engineering.

• Strong hands‑on knowledge of post‑market surveillance, complaint analytics, product monitoring, trending, signal detection and escalation processes.
• Working knowledge of ISO 13485 requirements, particularly complaint handling, data analysis, CAPA, risk management and post‑market activities.
• Working knowledge of EU MDR requirements relating to post‑market surveillance, PMCF, PSURs, vigilance, trend reporting and post‑market data evaluation.
• Understanding of statistical and risk‑based approaches used for complaint trending, signal detection and product monitoring.
• Experience implementing analytics, dashboards, reporting, digital or AI‑enabled solutions within a regulated environment.
• Experience leading process improvement, remediation, compliance transformation or global cross‑functional initiatives.
• Experience supporting regulatory inspections, notified body assessments, customer audits or agency interactions.
• The ability to communicate complex product‑performance trends and investigation outcomes clearly to customers, senior leaders and cross‑functional partners.
