Senior Director / Director of Regulatory Affairs

Senior Director / Director of Regulatory Affairs

TransMedics' pioneering Organ Care System (OCS) was developed to address the major limitations of the current standard of care, cold storage, by preserving donor organs in a living, functional state during transport. Unlike traditional cold-storage methods, the OCS Systems feature warm, normothermic perfusion, and provide the means to monitor organ health so that transplant patients can experience better outcomes. We are laser focused on transforming the standard of care increasing organ utilization and transplant volumes, improving patient outcomes, and reducing transplant costs, resulting in more transplantable organs being made available so that more patients can benefit from life-saving transplant procedures. Due to rapid growth, we are currently looking for a Senior Director / Director of Regulatory Affairs, based in our Andover, MA headquarters, to join us as we revolutionize this cutting-edge medical field. If you are looking for a forward-thinking and fast-paced entrepreneurial culture, you thrive on challenges and are interested in furthering your career, we want to talk to you!
