  • Provide strategic oversight and, as needed, direct authoring support for critical regulatory documents, ensuring they are fit for purpose, scientifically sound, and compliant with global regulatory standards
  • Oversee development of key regulatory content, including briefing documents, response packages, eCTD Module 2 summaries and overviews, protocols and protocol amendments, clinical study reports (CSRs), and responses to health authority questions
  • Partner with regulatory leaders and cross-functional teams to ensure that submission documents reflect a clear, persuasive, and evidence-based scientific narrative that accurately interprets complex clinical, statistical, and safety data for regulatory audiences
  • Establish and continuously improve standards, templates, style guides, and content frameworks that support efficient, high-quality regulatory document development.
  • Champion the thoughtful use of digital and AI-enabled tools to improve document planning, content development, and review workflows while maintaining scientific integrity and compliance
  • Ensure that regulatory communications meet GxP, inspection-readiness, and documentation standards appropriate for global development and submission activities
  • Provide leadership, coaching, and direction to internal writers, external vendors, and contract medical or regulatory writers as applicable.

Qualifications and Preferred Skills

  • Advanced degree preferred (PhD, PharmD, MD, or equivalent in life sciences or related discipline)
  • 10+ years of experience in regulatory affairs, regulatory writing, medical writing, or scientific communication
  • Demonstrated experience supporting global regulatory submissions and health authority interactions across development stages
  • Strong expertise in development of regulatory documentation, including briefing books, eCTD content, clinical summaries, protocols, CSRs, and health authority responses
  • Deep understanding of global regulatory frameworks and guidelines, including FDA, EMA, and ICH requirements
  • Proven ability to influence senior cross-functional stakeholders to drive alignment
