Senior Recruitment Consultant - QA/RA

About the job Senior Recruitment Consultant - QA/RA

The Opportunity

A high-performing, specialist recruitment firm operating exclusively within the global medical device industry is seeking an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to build and lead a dedicated Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA) desk.

Following a record-breaking second year, the business is entering a significant growth phase and is looking to appoint a recruiter capable of carving out a genuine specialist niche within one of the most critical functions in medical devices.

This is not a desk to inherit. It is an opportunity to create true market ownership with the backing of an established brand and proven delivery platform.

Why Consider This Move?

• Unlimited holiday built on trust and accountability
• Fully remote working model
• Annual overseas sales meetings
• Company-funded away days and regular meetups
• High-autonomy culture with no heavy KPI environment
• Direct access to leadership and fast decision-making

The firm operates an outcomes-focused model built for experienced recruiters who prefer ownership over activity metrics.

Joining during a scale phase typically creates far greater upside than entering a mature agency structure.

The Role

The successful hire will take full ownership of the QA/RA market, partnering with medical device manufacturers, innovative start-ups, and global organisations navigating increasingly complex regulatory environments.

Key responsibilities

• Winning and developing new client relationships within Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs
• Delivering senior technical, regulatory, and leadership talent
• Building deep candidate networks across areas such as regulatory strategy, quality systems, compliance, clinical evaluation, and post-market surveillance
• Acting as a strategic advisor to hiring leaders on talent and market dynamics
• Negotiating complex offers and closing high-value assignments
• Establishing a recognised specialist presence within the sector

Build a True Specialist Desk

Quality and regulatory functions sit at the heart of every successful medical device organisation. As global regulations continue to evolve and scrutiny increases, demand for experienced QA/RA professionals has never been higher.

The platform is already in place - brand credibility, infrastructure, and market access.

The expectation is that the successful consultant will leverage this foundation to build a desk with long-term enterprise value.

What They Are Looking For

• Proven billing success within agency recruitment
• Experience recruiting into QA/RA, regulatory, quality, or other technical healthcare functions strongly preferred
• Commercial maturity and self-direction
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy
• Relationship-led and consultative in approach

This environment typically suits recruiters who want the freedom to build something meaningful rather than operate inside rigid structures.

Timing Matters

Opportunities to join specialist firms during a genuine growth phase are relatively rare.

For experienced recruiters motivated by earning potential, autonomy, and the ability to shape their own market, this represents a particularly compelling move.

Salary & Benefits

• Negotiable base salary aligned to experience and billing history
• Uncapped commission structure paying up to 70% - designed to properly reward high performers
• Unlimited holiday, built on trust and professional accountability
• Fully remote working with complete location flexibility
• Company away days to connect and celebrate success
• Annual international sales trip to Dubai
• High-autonomy environment with no heavy KPI culture
