  • Collaborate with internal safety and regulatory teams to align on case definitions and coding conventions.

Required Experience & Skills:

  • Proven experience in post-market surveillance and adverse event case processing.

  • Expertise in MedDRA coding, seriousness/severity/expectedness assessments, and identification of reportable events.
  • Familiarity with FDA reporting requirements for adverse events.
  • Ability to work directly within a client's internal safety database (no third-party system management).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certified Medical Coder (e.g., CPC, CCS, or equivalent) preferred but not required if deep relevant experience is demonstrated.
  • Prior experience with consumer health, OTC, or regulated consumer goods.
  • Understanding of regulatory expectations for adverse event reporting timelines.
