- Track record of leading or authoring major regulatory submissions (IND/CTA, NDA, BLA or MAA) and representing the company in health authority interactions such as FDA Type A, B or C meetings or EMA Scientific Advice.
- Working knowledge of FDA regulations (21 CFR), EMA procedures, ICH guidelines and eCTD structure.
- Current or most recent role at Senior Manager or Associate Director level or above, with demonstrable career progression (e.g., Regulatory Affairs Manager → Senior Manager → Associate Director → Director).
