What is regulatory labeling?

Regulatory labeling refers to the process of creating, reviewing, and maintaining product labels to ensure they comply with all relevant laws and regulations set by government authorities. This is especially important in industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, where product labels must accurately reflect usage instructions, safety information, and legal requirements. Regulatory labeling professionals work closely with regulatory agencies and internal teams to make sure that all product information is truthful, clear, and up to date. Failure to comply with labeling regulations can result in fines, product recalls, or legal action.

Job description

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq ARWR) is a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates.
Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI. Our employees are nimble, science-driven innovators who are collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need.

  • Maintain expertise regarding key labeling requirements and stay current with labeling guidelines/regulations as they pertain to the development/maintenance of labeling and advise key stakeholders on the application of these labeling principles.
  • Research the content of other labels in the same therapeutic class, including competitor labeling, to help guide the team in developing labeling text, including contingency strategy development for negotiation with regulatory authorities.
  • Responsible for proofreading and departmental QC work; ensure quality of labeling deliverables (e.g., alignment of labeling text with data, regulatory requirements, consistency between labeling documents).
