Innovation, compliance and continuous improvement

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. Through collaboration and operational excellence, we shape and deliver an innovative pipeline to meet future patient needs.

Within R&D, you will join a regulatory team focused on Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC), where you will work alongside experienced regulatory professionals dedicated to navigating the global regulatory landscape. The team operates with a high degree of cross-functional collaboration – interfacing with development, manufacturing, quality and commercial stakeholders – to ensure our products meet the highest regulatory standards across all major markets.

We are looking for a seasoned regulatory professional who thrives in complexity, brings strategic thinking to every interaction and is energised by navigating global regulatory environments. You will bring:

• A Master's degree with typically more than 12 years of relevant experience, or a PhD with typically more than 5 years of relevant experience across several regulatory disciplines. A Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience across several qualifiers may also be considered
• Solid knowledge of regulatory science and requirements across major markets (EU, US, China, Japan), with experience spanning areas such as early- and late-stage drug development, life cycle management, health authority interactions and CMC development
• Strong strategic mindset with proven ability to translate regulatory strategies into ambitious goals, handle ambiguity and make bold, well-informed decisions in complex stakeholder landscapes
• Excellent planning, coordination and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to structure complex tasks, eliminate unnecessary complexity and drive alignment across functions and cultures
