The successful candidate will be responsible for the oversight of adverse event case processing, aggregate safety reporting, and providing leadership on safety inputs across clinical and regulatory documents. This role involves close collaboration with clinical leads and medical monitors, serving as the primary point of contact for safety and PV-related matters, and leading the development and optimization of safety processes.
