Making animals' lives better makes life better - join our team today!

The biologics space in Animal Health is experiencing unprecedented global innovation. We are seeking a strategic Regulatory Affairs Lead to serve as the primary regulatory architect for our global biologics and vaccine portfolios.

If you are a biologics regulatory professional who feels siloed in human pharma or biotech, this is your opportunity to step into a high-visibility, high-influence role. You won't just be managing repetitive submission pipelines; you will be partnering directly with executive leadership, R&D, and global health authorities to shape the future of veterinary medicine. Prior Animal Health experience is highly valued, but absolutely not required-we will fully support your transition if you bring strong biologics depth.

How You Will Make an Impact

• Architect Global Strategy: Design and execute innovative global regulatory pathways for breakthrough biologics, vaccines, and biotechnology programs across their entire lifecycle.

• Lead Health Authority Engagement: Serve as the face of the organization and primary point of contact during strategic negotiations with major global bodies, including the FDA-CVM, USDA-CVB, and EMA.

• Cross-Functional Influence: Act as a critical strategic partner to R&D, Clinical, and Commercial teams, translating complex scientific data into clear, executable regulatory roadmaps.

• Drive Portfolio Advancement: Lead the preparation, authorship strategy, and submission of high-quality dossiers, ensuring robust responses to health authority inquiries to accelerate time-to-market.

• Navigate a Dynamic Lifecycle: Provide high-level regulatory oversight for pipeline expansions, keeping ahead of global regulatory trends and shifting guidance (such as VICH and advanced GMP standards).

What You Bring (Required Experience)

• The Experience: 5+ years of dedicated Regulatory Affairs experience within a regulated life sciences environment (Biologics, Vaccines, Biotechnology, or Pharma).

• The Domain Depth: A strong background supporting global regulatory strategy and submission execution specifically for large molecules, vaccines, or monoclonal antibodies.

• Agency Exposure: Proven track record of direct, successful interactions and submissions with health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, USDA, or equivalent).

• The Leadership Mindset: Exceptional communication skills with a demonstrated ability to influence matrixed, cross-functional teams without direct authority.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in a scientific or technical discipline required (Advanced degree preferred).

Preferred Attributes (The Plus, Not the Gatekeeper)

• Prior exposure to veterinary biologics or animal health regulatory frameworks (FDA-CVM, USDA-CVB, VICH).

• Broad familiarity with CMC principles for biologics (e.g., general understanding of tech transfer or manufacturing changes) to better collaborate with technical operations.

• Experience navigating multi-regional or truly global product registrations.

You May Be a Strong Fit If You:

• Have led high-level regulatory strategy, not just routine submission execution.

• Want true ownership of a global portfolio rather than being a small cog in a massive human-pharma machine.

• Can navigate both long-term strategic planning and detailed regulatory execution.

• Are excited to apply your complex biologics expertise to an industry focused on improving the health and well-being of animals worldwide.

Success in This Role

Success means building effective global regulatory strategies, driving high-quality regulatory submissions, influencing strong cross-functional decisions, and helping biologics and vaccine programs advance efficiently through critical development and lifecycle milestones.

Compensation / Benefits

Compensation will be aligned to experience, level, and internal equity. This role is eligible for annual bonus opportunities and company benefits.
