Responsibilities

Regulatory Lifecycle Strategy & Hub Delivery Leadership

• Develop and execute regulatory execution strategies for lifecycle maintenance activities across European (EU and non‑EU) countries within a Hub operating model, maximizing Hub-delivered work and minimizing local execution where feasible.
• Lead end-to-end coordination of post-approval maintenance activities, including (as applicable) variations, renewals, notifications/administrative changes, labeling/PI updates, post-approval commitments, line extensions, and country-specific maintenance requirements.
• Translate global strategy into country action plans: define scope, timelines, dependencies, stakeholders, and deliverables; maintain robust trackers and ensure “no-surprise” execution.
• Anticipate regulatory and operational risks (e.g., missing inputs, data gaps, conflicting country expectations, dependency delays), propose mitigation plans, and support timely decision-making.
• Coordinate preparation, review, and submission readiness of required documentation (e.g., Module 1 country components and relevant CTD/eCTD content as needed), ensuring alignment with core dossiers and company standards.
• Lead responses coordination to regulatory authority questions, deficiency letters, and compliance requests for assigned markets, ensuring timely input collection, quality review, and on-time dispatch.
• Coordinate EU PI / labeling updates and drive alignment/harmonization with local labels (where in scope), ensuring timely implementation and traceable decision logs.

Regulatory Compliance, Planning Discipline & Intelligence Application

• Monitor and apply evolving requirements and trends in EU and non‑EU European markets; proactively communicate impacts to Hub and local stakeholders with clear recommended actions.
• Ensure lifecycle activities are executed in compliance with applicable regulations, internal SOPs, and quality systems, maintaining inspection/audit readiness for assigned processes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by standardizing ways of working (templates, trackers, RACI, escalation paths, meeting cadence) to improve timeliness, predictability, and Hub share of work.

Cross Functional Collaboration & Country Coordination

• Partner with Global and Local functions (e.g., Regulatory Ops, CMC, Pharmacovigilance, Medical, Quality, Supply Chain, Artwork/Labeling, Commercial as applicable) to secure inputs, manage dependencies, and drive decisions.
• Act as the primary Hub interface for local RA teams for assigned countries/products: align on timelines, clarify responsibilities, proactively follow up, and escalate when required.
• Run effective cross-functional/cross-country governance (action-focused meetings, minutes, owners, due dates) and ensure closure of actions—especially when stakeholders are in different time zones.

Leadership, Accountability & Mentoring (Critical Success Factor)

• Provide execution leadership within the Hub team: demonstrate high ownership and accountability for outcomes (not just task assignment), ensuring activities are progressed, completed, and documented.
• Coach and mentor junior colleagues on prioritization, stakeholder communication, escalation, and quality expectations; delegate tasks with clear outputs and follow-up checkpoints.
• Drive a proactive culture: early risk identification, timely escalation with options and recommendations, and consistent communication discipline.

Key Competencies

• Strong execution leadership in high-volume, multi-country lifecycle maintenance environments.
• Proactiveness and ownership mindset: anticipates issues, drives closure, and ensures accountability across stakeholders.
• Excellent communication (written and verbal): concise status updates, clear escalation messages, and strong meeting facilitation.
• Ability to prioritize under pressure and manage competing timelines across products/countries with disciplined tracking.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills across geographies and functions (able to obtain inputs without direct authority).
• Structured, process-oriented approach; continuous improvement mindset to increase Hub effectiveness and reduce local take-back.
• Team leadership and talent development mindset (coaching, effective delegation with quality control).

Qualifications & Experience

• University degree in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Medicine, or related field.
• 8–15+ years of regulatory affairs experience in the pharmaceutical industry, with strong focus on European markets and post-approval / lifecycle maintenance.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with EU procedures (CP/DCP/MRP/national) and practical understanding of how lifecycle actions are executed across EU and non‑EU European countries.
• Proven track record coordinating multi-country, multi-product portfolios with tight timelines and complex cross-functional dependencies (Hub/shared services experience strongly preferred).
• Experience coordinating responses to Health Authority requests (questions/deficiencies) and driving input collection and closure.
• Comfortable working with regulatory information/document systems (e.g., Veeva Vault RIM or equivalent), trackers, and structured portfolio reporting.
