Job Description
Senior Biocompatibility Specialist

Lead change that lasts.

  

At Mölnlycke, we believe that real impact starts with people. People who are bold enough to challenge the status quo. People who care deeply for their work, their colleagues, and the world around them. People who know exactly why they do what they do.

 

As a global medical solutions company, we design and deliver innovative products and services across wound care, operating room solutions, gloves, and antiseptics. Our mission is to advance performance in healthcare by supporting professionals, improving outcomes, and making a difference where it matters most.

 

Mölnlycke is now looking for a Senior Biocompatibility Specialist  to join and support us across different business areas.

 

The position is formally based at our headquarters in Gothenburg, but for the right profile we are open to locations outside of Gothenburg with occasional visits onsite.

 

Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to be part of something bigger. You’ll join a global team with a shared mission: to advance performance in healthcare.

 

In this role you will work with biological and toxicological evaluations of medical devices and be responsible for assessing the patient safety of materials and products in accordance with applicable global regulatory guidelines.

 

Here’s how your contributions will shape meaningful outcomes:

  • You will be responsible for planning, performing and documenting biological evaluations of medical devices, ensuring compliance and supporting regulatory filings.
  • Take on an active role in planning, coordinating, and reviewing biocompatibility testing both internally and with external partners.
  • Take part in the development of procedures, guidelines and trainings within the biocompatibility area.
  • Represent Mölnlycke as a subject matter expert, for example, in external networks, committees, and scientific forums.
  • Provide coaching and guidance to Biocompatibility Specialists, fostering capability growth in the team.

 

What You’ll Get

Be part of a culture built on trust, care, and shared ownership:

  • Opportunities to stretch, learn, and grow in a company bold in its ambitions.
  • A permanent position with competitive benefits, wellbeing initiatives, and flexible working options.
  • The chance to contribute to solutions that improve patients’ lives worldwide.

 

What You Bring

We are looking for someone with deep expertise in biocompatibility and/or toxicology who thrives on both scientific rigor and practical application.

 

Must-haves:

  • Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in engineering, chemistry, life science or equivalent.
  • Extensive experience in biocompatibility, toxicology, or a closely related field.
  • Experience working with medical devices.
  • Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements relevant to biocompatibility.
  • Excellent communication skills, fluent in written and spoken English.

 

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience supporting regulatory submissions and filings.
  • Familiarity with design control processes.
  • Demonstrated leadership through mentoring or coaching colleagues.
  • Experience in scientific or medical writing

 

Our Approach to Diversity & Inclusion

We’re building a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. We believe that a diverse mix of people (from different cultures, ages, geographies, and genders) makes us stronger. It brings fresh perspectives, drives better decisions, and helps us deliver solutions that reflect the world we serve. Inclusion isn’t just a value, it’s how we work, grow, and lead together.
