We’re looking for a Quality and Safety Manager with a focus on safety and risk management to support the increasing volume and complexity of clinical incidents, patient safety initiatives, and emerging risks across our platform.

At the same time, you will take a more strategic and visible lead in our risk management efforts, helping shape and operationalize Ro’s approach to clinical risk across new technologies, treatments, and care delivery initiatives.
This role requires strong analytical skills and the ability to translate data from incidents and safety initiatives into actionable insights that drive both immediate improvements and long-term impact.

- Take a lead role in evaluating new clinical technologies, workflows, and treatment offerings to identify and quantify potential risks prior to implementation
- Facilitate prioritization of patient safety opportunities based on risk assessment and strategic alignment
- Drive forward team initiatives and contribute to larger cross-functional projects, with ownership of specific deliverables and outcomes
- Communicate identified risks clearly and effectively to cross-functional teams, enabling informed decision-making and appropriate mitigation strategies
- Support Ro’s participation in a Patient Safety Organization (PSO), including data submission and integration of learnings into safety strategy
- Analyze safety data and trends to generate insights that inform strategic decisions, operational improvements, and clinical best practices

- BSN or equivalent years of experience
