The opportunity

As Associate Director, Regulatory Affairs, you'll lead global regulatory strategy for a therapeutic area from early development through marketing authorization - translating complex requirements into clear paths forward, shaping health authority interactions, and partnering across functions to keep programs moving.

• Lead critical submission activities and regulatory writing, including pre-IND, orphan/paediatric investigation plan (PIP), Scientific Advice, End-of-Phase I/II, and pre-BLA/MAA meeting materials.

• Be a strategic regulatory partner across development, commercialization, and lifecycle management for a therapeutic area.

• Bring a forward-looking regulatory perspective to potential new products, working cross-functionally to develop innovative strategies.

• Support commercial activities with regulatory guidance on labeling and promotional materials.

• Bring expert regulatory insight and market interpretation to global development programs.

• Work across R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Medical Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, and Regulatory Affairs to deliver high-quality dossiers and materials aligned with business priorities.

• Partner with regional experts in the EU, Japan, and other markets to shape ex-US strategies and lead interactions with local regulatory agencies.

• Represent REGENXBIO with industry teams, trade associations, and professional organizations.

• Travel up to 15% as required.

• Hands-on experience preparing high-quality FDA/EMA submission documentation and Health Authority meeting materials.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with internal stakeholders, external partners, and health authorities.

• A resourceful, collaborative style - and the ability to be equally effective working independently.

• Proactive, creative problem-solving and strong decision-making skills.
