About the role

As Deputy Manager, you will lead one of the teams in our Regulatory Affairs department, responsible for new applications and ongoing maintenance of licenses for parallel traded medicines.

- Ensure high-quality submissions and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
- Support process improvements and implementation of department strategy.
- Manage team workload, capacity, and performance.

- Have worked with administrative or regulatory processes before.
- Hold a degree in life sciences, pharmacy, or a similar field.
