Head of Regulatory Affairs

Who We Are

Verily is a subsidiary of Alphabet that is using a data-driven approach to change the way people manage their health and the way healthcare is delivered. Launched from Google X in 2015, our purpose is to bring the promise of precision health to everyone, every day. We are focused on generating and activating data from a variety of sources, including clinical, social, behavioral and the real world, to arrive at the best solutions for a person based on a comprehensive view of the evidence. Our unique expertise and capabilities in technology, data science and healthcare enable the entire healthcare ecosystem to drive better health outcomes.

Description

Within the Clinical Studies Platforms (CSP) business line, our foundational work was Project Baseline, a 360-degree evaluation of health through data. Project Baseline is expanding from a single study into a superior full-scale evidence generation platform. Verily intends to rewrite the textbook on how clinical research studies are planned, executed, analyzed and interpreted. In this vision, all people will have the opportunity to participate in clinical research to improve their own health and contribute to the future.  Data will be maximally leveraged to generate reliable insights. Tried-and-true clinical trial study designs will be updated with next generation solutions such as incorporating real-world data and artificial intelligence. While this story starts with a US footprint, international expansion will quickly follow.

The Head of Regulatory Affairs will lead regulatory strategic planning, assessments, submissions, and operations at Verily.  The Head of RA will lead the Verily RA Team to work collaboratively with key stakeholders in support of product development and commercialization for medical devices and precision health products and services around the world.
