Support major-filing readiness activities for BLAs, MAAs, and other regional marketing applications, including contribution to submission planning, module ownership, cross-functional content coordination, and health-authority response management. Represent Regulatory Affairs on cross-functional project and study teams and provide practical guidance on clinical, CMC, device, nonclinical, labeling, and lifecycle considerations. Coordinate preparation for health-authority meetings and interactions, including agenda development, briefing materials, response strategies, issue escalation, and commitments tracking. Assess regulatory risks and changes to development plans and propose mitigation strategies in collaboration with program leadership. Partner with Clinical Development and Pharmacovigilance to ensure global INDs/CTAs remain compliant and current, including safety-reporting and maintenance obligations. Partner with Technical Operations/CMC, Quality, and external partners to ensure manufacturing, analytical, and device-related regulatory inputs are submission-ready and aligned with program timelines. Support regulatory intelligence activities by monitoring changes in regulations, guidance, precedents, and competitive landscape where relevant, and translating those changes into clear internal recommendations. Support inspection readiness and quality compliance by maintaining complete, accurate, and retrievable regulatory records and by participating in SOP/process improvement activities. As applicable, support device constituent or combination-product documentation and regional requirements, including CE/MDR-related deliverables or equivalent device submissions where they are part of Aerogen’s regulatory strategy. Qualifications You may be a strong fit if you: Have a bachelor’s degree in life sciences, pharmacy, chemistry, biology, engineering, or a related discipline. Have 5+ years of regulatory affairs experience in biotech, pharma, or combination products. Have direct experience with global clinical development submissions, especially INDs and CTAs. Are experienced contributing to major filing activities such as BLA, NDA, or MAA submissions, significant manufacturing changes, or key health-authority interactions. Are comfortable moving between strategy discussions, technical document work, and deadline-driven coordination. Write clearly, organize complex information well, and follow through reliably in a matrix setting. Can influence cross-functional teams without relying on hierarchy. Bring familiarity with FDA, EMA, ICH, and eCTD workflows Preferred but not required Advanced degree and/or Regulatory Affairs Certification (RAC) Experience with biologics, combination products, or technically complex development programs. Experience supporting Pre-IND, End-of-Phase, Scientific Advice, or similar agency meetings. Experience with Veeva RIM, eCTD publishing workflows, and regulatory document management systems. What success looks like Assigned regulatory submissions and responses are delivered on time and to a high quality standard.
