Director of Quality & Regulatory

Direct Hire – Minneapolis, MN

Welly is a rapidly growing, early commercialization, Class I medical device and OTC pharmaceutical company.

Welly is for everyone that was afraid to fall down, fail, get bumped, get scratched and did it anyway. Welly is for the wellness in all of us, however that looks, and for being prepared for whatever comes our way. We wear our bandages like badges of honor for a life fully lived.

We’re a group of adventurists and neat freaks. Dreamers and doers. Dads, moms, and dog moms. Gen Z, Millennials and eh…older than millennials. Horseback riders, runners, first timers and old pros. We banded together and took a giant leap to make a product for the bleeders, the believers, the give it a try-ers.

Welly has already been buzzed about in national media and by influencers for disrupting a rather beige category. We have 25 products at all Target stores and we are on the path for huge growth in April 2020.  We need the A-team to help us on our path.

Oh yes, we’re hatched in Minnesota with partners all over the world. Our HQ is in downtown Minneapolis, overlooking all the adventure Minnesota has to offer.
