  • Provide oversight for case processing, medical review, and data reconciliation activities performed by CROs.
  • Ensure compliance with global regulations (FDA, EMA, MHRA, ICH, GVP, etc.) and maintain inspection readiness.
  • Support development and maintenance of internal PV policies, SOPs, and training programs.
  • Participate in safety signal detection activities and safety governance committees, as needed.
  • Oversee maintenance and compliance of an externally hosted electronic safety database for tracking, storing, and reporting of serious adverse events.

  • Strong experience managing CRO/vendor relationships, particularly in clinical trial safety reporting.
  • Deep knowledge of global pharmacovigilance regulations, GVP, ICH guidelines, and relevant reporting requirements.
  • Experience with oversight of drug safety databases (e.g., Oracle Argus).
  • Proven track record of ensuring compliance in a global PV environment.

Skills And Abilities

  • Strong ability to build and maintain excellent interpersonal relationships, both within and outside the company, at all levels, and work within, lead and motivate a cross-functional matrixed team.
  • Self-motivated; engaged, hands-on, entrepreneurial style with a sense of urgency, a bias toward action, and flexibly contribute simultaneously in multiple facets of drug development; willingness to learn new therapeutic areas.
  • Analytical and problem-solving skills; risk identification and management; creative and innovative thinking.
