What is/was your function in industry?

Working in Supply Chain is much different than if you’re focused on developing a specific niche device.

Regulatory !

You looking for med device only or biotech / pharma too?

Ahh. My firm is doing biotech and pharma strategy and hiring folks. Not much regulatory work tbh so may not be up your alley. DM if interested but otherwise good luck with the continued search 👍
