• Create, configure, and maintain medical device labels using BarTender labeling software, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
• Manage the full label lifecycle, including creation, review, approval, release, and controlled changes in alignment with quality and regulatory requirements.
• Work within PLM and QMS platforms, such as Agile or Windchill, to manage labeling documentation, revisions, and approvals in a controlled environment.
• Ensure labeling complies with FDA regulations, including 21 CFR and UDI requirements, and support alignment with EU MDR labeling expectations where applicable.
• Collaborate with quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and document control teams to ensure labeling content and format meet internal standards and external regulations.
• Support quality systems management by maintaining accurate labeling records, documentation, and traceability within established quality processes.
• Contribute to 510(k) project activities by finalizing labeling elements needed to bring products across the regulatory approval finish line.
• Work effectively in a contract or fast-paced environment, handling multiple labeling projects and priorities simultaneously.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks, work independently with minimal supervision, and proactively drive labeling activities to completion.
• Ask clarifying questions and engage with team members when encountering obstacles, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently rather than working in isolation.
• Support continuous improvement of labeling processes, tools, and documentation practices within the quality system.

Essential Skills:

• Hands-on experience with BarTender labeling software as a core tool for label creation and management.

• Experience working in a contract or fast-paced environment with multiple concurrent projects.
• Familiarity with quality assurance principles, document control practices, and quality systems management in a regulated setting.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and deliver results with limited supervision.
• Strong communication skills and willingness to ask questions and collaborate with cross-functional teams when needed.

Additional Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience working with medical device contract manufacturing organizations (CMO).
• Direct experience with Agile or Windchill PLM/QMS platforms beyond basic exposure.
• Exposure to or involvement with regulatory affairs activities related to labeling and submissions.
• Familiarity with EU MDR labeling requirements as a significant advantage.
