Main activities and responsibilities:
Lead the work of defining, documenting, and maintaining product requirements in product development projects
Be responsible for risk management documentation and ensure that the design is assessed based on potential risks

This is you
To succeed in this role, we see that you are a driven, structured, and methodical person with a solution-oriented approach. You have a good ability and interest in reading and interpreting international standards and directives in a pragmatic way.

We also believe that you are open to new knowledge, work independently and take your own initiative. You are a team player with a good and clear communication ability that builds commitment and understanding for your questions, while not being afraid to question if necessary.
For us, your drive and attitude towards learning and keeping up to date with regulations and standards is more important than fulfilling all the required skills. With that said, here are skills that would be ideal if you had:
