Undergraduate Regulatory Strategist

Global Regulatory Sciences

Regulatory Strategy

• Regulatory Strategy is a dynamic department which proactively collaborates with drug development and various functional lines to ensure Pfizer meets the requirements of Global Health Authorities.
• Working across all stages of the pharmaceutical product life cycle, Regulatory Strategists aim to secure regulatory approval in a compliant, creative, efficient and commercially viable manner by defining and executing asset‑specific regulatory strategies.
• The Regulatory Strategy department leads dialogue with Global Health Authorities on behalf of Pfizer.
• Regulatory Strategy engages with different business functions and regions, offering unique insight to research & development and commercial aspects of the pharmaceutical industry.

Global Regulatory Sciences supports a diverse portfolio of products spanning multiple therapeutic areas (Inflammation and Immunology & Non-malignant haematology, Internal Medicine, Vaccines, Global Brands). You will have the opportunity to develop and implement regulatory strategies for innovative medicinal products and to maintain Pfizer's marketed products to the highest standards of quality, safety and efficacy, across different regions. Products can be at any stage in the pharmaceutical product life cycle (pre-approval or post-approval) and so you will have a unique overview of the company, seeing therapies from research stages, through clinical development and onto the market.

You will be a part of the day-to-day compilation of general regulatory project documents, clinical trial applications, regulatory dossiers and responses to regulatory questions received from health authorities. You will also contribute to global regulatory strategies and implementation plans, ensuring an aligned regional position is reached and agreed for assigned projects. You will monitor progress of regulatory plans whilst ensuring identified risks are addressed.

Moreover, you will take a proactive role in maintaining systems, processes and procedures relating to regulatory strategy.
