Regulatory Researcher — U.S. State Medical Device Licensing Requirement Job Description: We're looking for a detail-oriented regulatory/compliance researcher to document state-level licensing and registration requirements for medical device manufacturers and distributors across a defined set of U.S. states. This is deep, citation-backed research — not a summary or overview. You'll be working directly from state statutes, board of pharmacy / department of health regulations, and official licensing portals to produce a structured reference document per state. The specific list of states will be shared privately with the selected contractor (via NDA) after hire. Please do not assume which states are included — the scope covers a mix of states with varying licensing regimes, so your process should be repeatable across any state we assign, not tailored to one. What you'll research, per state: 1. Which state agency/board regulates medical device manufacturers and distributors (e.g., Board of Pharmacy, Department of Health) 2. Whether the state requires licensing/registration for: device manufacturers, device distributors/wholesalers, or both under a single combined license 3. Whether requirements differ for prescription (Rx) vs. over-the-counter (OTC) devices — call out any exemptions for OTC-only companies 4. Resident vs. non-resident licensing distinctions (some states license out-of-state companies differently — e.g., separate non-resident license categories) 5. Application requirements: forms, documentation, attachments (e.g., FDA registration proof, state-specific attestations) 6. Fees (initial and renewal) and renewal frequency/cycle 7. Bonding, insurance, or designated-representative requirements, if any 8. Processing/turnaround timelines 9. Statutory and regulatory citations (statute number, regulation code, and a link to the primary source) 10. Any notable enforcement mechanisms (e.g., consent agreements, cease-and-desist processes) — even general descriptions of how the state handles violations, since public case law is often unavailable 11. Renewal deadlines and any continuing requirements post-licensure Deliverable format One structured document (Word, Google Doc, or spreadsheet — your choice, we'll provide a template after hire) per state, organized under consistent headers so outputs are directly comparable across states. Ideal candidate 1. Experience with healthcare regulatory research, paralegal work, compliance consulting, or similar (medical device or pharma regulatory background strongly preferred) 2. Comfortable reading and citing primary legal/regulatory sources (state statutes, administrative codes) — not just summarizing blogs or secondary sources 3. Strong written English; work must be clear enough for a non-lawyer business audience to act on 4. Meticulous about accuracy — this research informs real compliance decisions 5. Able to work independently and hit a consistent format across a batch of states

Medical device licensing varies dramatically across state jurisdictions—what works in one state's pharmacy board framework may be entirely absent in another's department of health structure. This research demands access to primary statutory sources and the ability to navigate inconsistent regulatory architectures across multiple states. The assignment requires systematic extraction of licensing requirements, fee structures, renewal cycles, and enforcement mechanisms directly from state statutes and administrative codes. This is compliance-grade research where secondary sources introduce unacceptable risk. Each state deliverable must maintain structural consistency while accurately reflecting jurisdiction-specific distinctions between manufacturer and distributor licensing, Rx/OTC exemptions, and resident/non-resident pathways. Background includes 6+ years handling regulatory research, legal documentation, and compliance analysis across healthcare and finance sectors. Proven track record with statutory interpretation, citation accuracy, and producing reference documents built for business decision-making rather than legal argument. Comfortable with independent research workflows and delivering repeatable, comparable outputs across multiple jurisdictions. Ready to begin immediately upon NDA execution and state list delivery. Turnaround and revision structure can be confirmed once scope is defined.

State-level medical device licensing research requires deep statutory navigation and precise citation work—not secondary source summarization. This project demands extraction of primary regulatory sources, structural consistency across jurisdictions, and compliance-grade accuracy. The research scope aligns directly with regulatory documentation work: identifying governing agencies, parsing licensing requirements (manufacturer vs. distributor, Rx vs. OTC distinctions), extracting application forms, fee schedules, bonding mandates, and enforcement mechanisms. Each state delivers a structured, citable reference document. The deliverable is compliance documentation, not advisory content. Approach: Per-state research protocol starting with state statutes and administrative codes, then cross-referencing board of pharmacy/health department portals and official licensing systems. Each finding gets statutory citation with direct source links. Output template ensures consistency across all assigned states, enabling side-by-side comparison and audit trail verification. Deliverable quality hinges on primary source accuracy and citation discipline—both core requirements in legal and regulatory documentation. Ready to execute the repeatable methodology across your full state roster immediately upon NDA and state list receipt.
