• Staying on top of detailed knowledge of the global regulatory environment relevant for biologics, communicating changing regulatory agency requirements, and supporting pertinent regulatory intelligence per needs of programs
• Collaborating with external consultants, CDMOs, and CROs to provide regulatory guidance
• Evaluating regulatory CMC program risks and establishing mitigation strategies pertinent to product development
• Partnering with CMC, Discovery, and Clinical Development teams to innovate strategies to accelerate submission timelines

We'd love to hear from you if:

• You have a deep understanding of CMC regulatory requirements, eCTD structure, and Module 3 preparation (BLAs/NDAs/NDSs) for biologics and combination products
• You can seamlessly navigate regulatory requirements for CMC submissions for biologics and combination products, and look forward to the preparation of regulatory submissions
• You have a thorough understanding of Health Canada, FDA, and EMA regulations
• You can efficiently oversee independent contractors and vendors
• You are a skilled regulatory writer with effective oral communication skills
• You are a detailed oriented individual, highly organized, and thrive in fast paced environments while managing multiple priorities.
