The Opportunity

As an Associate Director, Pharmacovigilance Safety Physician, you will play a critical role in determining the safety profile, monitoring, and mitigating risks for assigned products throughout their lifecycle. You will also be responsible for providing comprehensive safety information to patients, prescribers, and regulators.


Key Responsibilities

    • Review complex Health Hazard Assessments and Health Authority requests.

  • Signal Management:

    • Conduct signal validation, author complex signal evaluations, and manage signal evaluation reviews.

    • Act as a medical reviewer to assess causality and consolidate safety data to determine if a signal qualifies as a risk.

  • Risk Management:

    • Support the development and implementation of Risk Management Plans (RMPs), Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS), and additional risk minimization strategies.

    • Define important identified risks, important potential risks, and missing information for assigned products.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:

    • Represent Pharmacovigilance (PV) in the Product Label Working Group, ensuring safety-related sections of product labels are evaluated and negotiated with regulatory agencies.

    • Collaborate with both internal (e.g., Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Quality) and external stakeholders (e.g., KOLs, CROs) to effectively represent PV on safety concerns and the overall safety profile of products.

  • Health Authority Submissions:

    • Provide PV support for Health Authority submissions and responses.

    • Represent PV during due diligence for potential new products.

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in pharmacovigilance and drug safety, specifically as a safety physician.

  • Proven ability to handle safety surveillance tasks and lead safety committee meetings.

  • Ability to serve as a subject matter expert in pharmacovigilance.
