The Company is seeking a Vice President and Global Head of Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance (DSPV) to lead its global pharmacovigilance team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing state-of-the-art safety strategies, driving medical safety processes, and ensuring full compliance with safety regulations across all global markets. This role requires a leader with a strong background in safety science, including experience in rare disease safety, and a proven track record in building and transforming PV organizations. The VP will also be tasked with spearheading enterprise-wide strategic initiatives to modernize the global PV infrastructure and processes, with a focus on digital innovation and the integration of AI/ML into PV workflows. Candidates for this role at the company must have an MD with at least 15 years' of drug development experience, including a minimum of 10 years in PV/drug safety leadership. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of global PV regulations, experience in leading large-scale PV transformation programs, and a strong background in medical oversight and safety science. Executive leadership skills, the ability to inspire and develop global teams, and a commitment to inclusive leadership are essential. The role also involves cross-functional collaboration, external engagement, and representation at regulatory forums and scientific conferences. While not mandatory, a specialty board certification and an advanced degree in a related field are preferred, and experience with rare diseases is strongly valued.
