Acute Care Technology

**PURPOSE OF THE**JOB**

**_ Position Purpose_**

**A niche, standalone role within a global organisation's close-knit ANZ team**

ZOLL Medical is a global leader in acute critical care and resuscitation technologies, with operations spanning over 140 countries. Within the Australia and New Zealand region, ZOLL operates on a smaller scale — a compact, agile team supported by a central office and warehouse based in St Leonards, Sydney. Despite being part of a global enterprise, the ANZ business functions much like a small local office, where every role has meaningful visibility and impact.

We are seeking a locally based, experienced WHS and QA professional to join our team in a part-time capacity (2.5 days per week). This is a specialist, standalone position, ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on, generalist environment and is looking for flexibility, autonomy, and the ability to directly influence health, safety, and quality outcomes across a close-knit operation.

**_ About ZOLL Medical_**

ZOLL is focused on improving outcomes with novel resuscitation and acute critical care technology. Our medical products and software solutions help clinicians, EMS and fire professionals, lay rescuers, and the military provide lifesaving care every day. ZOLL delivers technology that advances emergency care and benefits patients.
