Regulatory Affairs Specialist

Anteris Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.
 
Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world's first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.
 
We are seeking an experienced Regulatory Affairs Specialist to lead and execute regulatory strategies to ensure compliance with EU MDR 2017/745 and support CE Mark submissions for Anteris' Class III structural heart devices. This role is critical in preparing technical documentation, interacting with notified bodies, and providing regulatory guidance throughout the product lifecycle. The ideal candidate is an expert in EU MDR with deep experience in Class III cardiovascular or implantable medical devices, who thrives in a fast-paced, global, and cross-functional environment.
