You will partner closely with Regulatory Leadership and Submission Management, lead submission task forces, proactively manage risks and dependencies, and provide clear, confident communication to stakeholders up to senior leadership.

What you will do

  • Plan and track global regulatory deliverables for submissions worldwide (e.g., CTA/IND, MAA/NDA/BLA, major HA interactions such as Scientific Advice/meetings).
  • Build and maintain integrated project plans, timelines, and critical path views; ensure clarity on scope, deliverables, owners, and dependencies.
  • Lead and run Submission Task Forces for initial applications; co-chair international submission taskforces supporting global rollout of new assets.
  • Drive issue resolution and “crisis” intervention to protect timelines; set up enhanced hyper-care support for critical submissions.
  • Own risk and stakeholder management: surface risks early, communicate impacts transparently, and align mitigation plans with key partners.
  • Coordinate resource and budget planning for Regulatory activities; consolidate budget demand and serve as key contact to Global Project Management and project controlling.
  • Strengthen execution through continuous improvement of project management tools, templates, and ways of working to meet Health Authority requirements.
  • Act as a senior advisor/mentor, influencing across functions and contributing to operational and strategic decisions in regulatory project management.

 

What success looks like

You consistently deliver complex submissions with strong governance, clear decisions, and disciplined execution—enabling teams to move faster, reduce risk, and meet global Health Authority expectations.

 

Minimum requirements and qualifications include;

  • Advanced degree (e.g., PhD, PharmD, MD, or equivalent).
  • At least 6 years of project management experience in drug development and regulatory affairs.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead in a matrixed environment and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams.
