Overview
An excellent opportunity is available for a Specialist I in Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance. This role focuses on end-to-end adverse event case processing and safety data management across clinical trials and post-marketing settings. The position plays a critical role in ensuring regulatory compliance, high-quality safety reporting, and timely submission of adverse events to global regulatory authorities and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities
The role involves managing the intake, processing, and reporting of adverse events from multiple sources, including clinical trials and spontaneous reports.

Experience Requirements
Typically 1 to 3 years of pharmacovigilance or drug safety experience, including hands-on experience in AE/SAE case processing, narrative writing, and safety database usage. Equivalent experience in clinical research, regulatory affairs, or related domains may also be considered.

Required Skills and Competencies
Strong understanding of pharmacovigilance processes and adverse event reporting
Knowledge of global regulatory requirements and ICH-GCP guidelines
Proficiency in medical terminology and safety coding (MedDRA)
High attention to detail with strong data accuracy skills
Good analytical, communication, and presentation abilities
