Would you like a job in a project office – with time and room to immerse yourself in risk and quality assessment alongside specialists? And would you like to take up a core function in ensuring safe and well-performing products that truly make a difference for people with intimate health care needs all around the world?

Then come join us! We are currently looking for a Design Control Specialist.

“Taking ownership of the design control process, you get to combine your specialist knowledge with project coordination. Work never gets dull. Each project presents unique tasks and questions,” says Malene Schack Jørgensen, Head of Stability, packaging and Design Control.

Be part of a competence centre
In Global Quality, Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability, you will find our department, combining skills from across the organisation to work on stability, packaging, transportation and design control. You will join the Design Control team of 5 specialists and a process owner. Together, we ensure high-quality products with low user risk for our end-users to provide them with the best possible experience.

“Because our work is project-based, we make an effort to meet regularly as a team. Working with risk assessment, we deal with subjective experiences, so it’s important that we have meetings to align our input and support each other,” explains Malene

Influence the quality of our medical devices
When a medical device is developed, there are numerous rules and regulations that every medical device company has to adhere to. In this position, you will play a major part in that, ensuring a suitable risk profile and that the design control process is followed. It is always about ensuring that the benefit of the product by far outweighs the risk of using it. That is where you make a difference.

Working project-based, you will be attached to 2-4 projects at a time. The projects are focused on the redesign/improvement of a product, and you will own the design control process in each project as a member of each project core team, ensuring that we follow our design control model.

Specifically, you will:
Carry out hazard analyses and risk assessment
Give input on how to mitigate risk in the redesign process
Build documentation for each product
Carry out risk/benefit analyses
Collaborate with colleagues across R&D, Product Support, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical and Medical affairs as well as Marketing

”Each product is subject to evaluation. We’re not perfectionists, but very pragmatic when it comes to assessing when a product is good enough to truly make a difference to the end-user,” says Malene.

Got risk assessment experience?
In this role, a structured approach and a listening ear will get you far, as you will need to gain important input from your colleagues and make your assessments. So, while you are a specialist who enjoys working in-depth, you also have to like the interaction with colleagues and networking across the organisation.

Finally, we imagine that you:
Might have a scientific background
Have some years of experience with risk assessment
Enjoy working with analysis and have the curiosity to understand the technicalities of a product
Might have experience from the medical device sector
Are fluent in English
