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 about their work, their teams, and the patients they ultimately serve.

 

As a global medical solutions company, we develop innovative products and solutions that improve outcomes and advance performance in healthcare worldwide. In Wound Care at Mölnlycke, we help to prevent, manage and accelerate the healing of wounds. 

 

 

Why This Role Matters

This is more than a leadership role, it’s a transformation opportunity. In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping how we work, not just what we deliver.

 

As QARA Product Development Director for Wound Care, you will lead a newly integrated QA and Regulatory Affairs organisation, shaping how teams collaborate, operate, and deliver value across the product lifecycle.

 

You will be at the forefront of driving change, building engagement, and ensuring that our organisation is set up to meet both current and future regulatory and quality demands.

 

 

How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Lead and develop a global QA/RA Product Development team
  • Drive integration and alignment between Quality and Regulatory functions
  • Establish and embed new ways of working across product development
  • Provide strategic direction for regulatory and quality activities across the lifecycle
  • Ensure effective execution of regulatory strategies and submissions
  • Partner cross-functionally with R&D and business stakeholders
  • Build a strong, engaged, and high-performing team environment
  • Identify and mitigate regulatory and quality risks proactively
  • Contribute to broader QARA and business strategy execution

 

 

What You’ll Get

  • A leadership role with real organisational impact
  • Opportunity to shape and lead transformation at scale
  • A collaborative, purpose-driven global environment
  • Career growth within a leading global healthcare company
  • Flexible working approach (with HQ presence initially expected)
  • Competitive compensation and benefits

 

 

What You Bring

Must-Haves

  • Strong leadership experience in QA/RA (min 7 yrs) within medical devices (min 10 yrs)
  • Proven track record in leading organisational change or transformation
  • Cross-functional facilitation skills
  • Experience leading and developing global teams
  • Solid understanding of both Quality and Regulatory frameworks
  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills

 

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience within product development environments
  • Deep expertise in regulatory strategy and submissions
  • Experience working across global regulatory environments (EU, US, UK)
