Functieomschrijving

Unity Partners exclusively on behalf of our MedTech partner


We have been retained by a fast-growing medical technology scale-up in their search for a hands-on Quality Assurance Manager. This company develops an innovative medical device that combines both hardware and software elements, serving a global healthcare audience.


As the hands-on QA Manager, you’ll play a key role in managing and maturing the Quality Management System (QMS), acting as a strategic and operational leader for all quality topics. You will also potentially serve as the PRRC under MDR — ensuring product safety, audit readiness, and continuous improvement as the company moves from scale-up to commercialization.


This is an on-site role in Eindhoven, ideal for professionals seeking ownership, autonomy, and a direct impact in a fast-growing company with an international team and ambitious mission.


As QA Manager, you will:

  • Own and evolve the QMS (ISO 13485), ensuring alignment with MDR and FDA requirements
  • Potentially act as PRRC, taking responsibility for product conformity and compliance documentation
  • Prepare and lead audits (internal and external), manage CAPAs, NCRs, and SOP improvements
  • Collaborate closely with RA, R&D, Operations, and suppliers to embed QA across the product lifecycle
  • Oversee technical documentation, product release processes, and post-market surveillance.
  • Liaise with leadership on compliance risks, quality reporting, and continuous improvement plans
  • Act as sparring partner within the team — balancing structure with scale-up pragmatism


Your Profile:

  • 5+ years of experience in QA/QMS for medical devices (hardware and/or SaMD)
  • Experience as PRRC under MDR is a pre or strong readiness to take this responsibility
  • Solid understanding of ISO 13485, MDR, FDA, and related quality frameworks
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and creating structure in fast-moving environments
  • Strong communicator, natural collaborator, and pragmatic problem-solver
  • Experience with data security / ISO 27001 is a plus
  • Fluent in English; Dutch not required
  • On-site presence in Eindhoven is essential (fully remote not possible)


Why join?

  • Be part of a MedTech company that's making real impact in patient care
  • Play a pivotal role in shaping the QA/QMS function from the inside out
  • Join a diverse and informal team with short lines, speed, and ambition
  • Salary based on experience, plus additional benefits including stock appreciation rights
  • 25 holidays (with option to buy more), good pension scheme, and training opportunities
