Eli Health is seeking a Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Manager to own and operate the company's quality management system (QMS) end-to-end. Eli develops Hormometer®, the first instant hormone monitoring platform delivering saliva-based results to a mobile app within minutes, backed by six years of R&D and patent-pending innovations. In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining a QMS compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 while keeping it practical and audit-ready for a fast-moving medical device company. You will report to the CTO and work closely with manufacturing and regulatory teams. Key responsibilities include: - Owning and running core QMS processes on a defined cadence: document control, change control, non-conformances, CAPA, training records, and equipment management - Maintaining and improving the electronic QMS to ensure it serves the teams who use it daily - Keeping design and production documentation current as the product evolves, including the Design History File and Device Master Record - Managing supplier qualification and supplier quality through audits, agreements, and documentation - Supporting internal audits and coordinating external audits - Training employees on the QMS and applicable regulations, with follow-through on record completion - Defining, communicating, and meeting quality policies and objectives with the CTO You will own the quality system outright, not administer a corner of someone else's. The company is small (<25 people), high-performing, and distributed, with the Montreal office serving as the hub for R&D and operations. You'll have tangible impact on the company's trajectory and shape how the quality system operates for years to come. Requirements: - 3–5 years of QA/RA experience in medical devices, diagnostics, or another regulated industry where records are integral to operations - Ability to think about regulation from first principles, understanding what standards genuinely require versus what habit has added - Personal experience maintaining records that were later reviewed or audited; hands-on filing and signature chasing - Rigorous and thorough documentation skills; willingness to flag incomplete records - Ability to maintain cadence independently and communicate transparently when something slips - Ability to read and follow procedures precisely; asks for clarification rather than guessing - Software skills to work in electronic quality systems and technical curiosity to engage with engineers and scientists - Clear written and verbal communication; ability to work across teams without formal authority - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, or a related field - Advantage: experience with physical consumables, reagents, or laboratory supply chains The company values mindset and character; candidates who don't exactly match the description but believe they are the right fit are encouraged to apply.
