Your new role

As an Associate Regulatory Specialist in RA Diabetes, you will take ownership of regulatory submissions and interactions across major markets, acting as a subject matter expert within one or several regulatory processes.

• Core labelling: Establish and maintain the target CCDS/CCDS and European labelling for products in development, link the Target Product Profile to commercial and market access requirements, and support US labelling and Life Cycle Management
• RA Process expertise: Identify and develop better practice, driving improvements in regulatory documentation, methods and strategies
• RA Due Diligence: Lead regulatory due diligence assessments to inform business decisions
• RA Clinical expertise: Chair or contribute to Clinical Project / Clinical cross-functional groups, applying your submission experience across China, Japan, US and EU

Your new department

In Research & Development, you'll be part of a unit that explores bold scientific ideas and advances them into clinical testing. We combine curiosity, AI tools, and human data to develop transformative therapies.

Together, we focus on high-quality regulatory submissions, continuous process improvement and collaborative cross-functional engagement to bring safe and effective therapies to patients worldwide.

Your skills & qualifications

We're looking for a confident regulatory professional who combines deep technical knowledge with a strategic mindset and the boldness to make risk-based decisions. To succeed in this role, you'll bring:

• A PhD, Master's or Bachelor's degree in life sciences, with 7–9+ years of relevant Regulatory Affairs experience – or equivalent knowledge gained through practical experience
• Strong expertise across several regulatory affairs disciplines such as regulatory science & requirements (EU, US, China, Japan), Life Cycle Management, label development, Health Authority interactions, device development, regulatory intelligence and therapeutic area knowledge

• Broader understanding of project management, the R&D value chain, pharmacovigilance, clinical pharmacology, real world evidence, digital health and patient access
