  • Manage review cycles for documents; schedule and lead data interpretation meetings, comment resolution meetings, and other document-related meetings.
  • Perform quality control (QC) reviews as necessary.
  • Interact with Quality Assurance (QA) to resolve audit findings for specific documents.
  • Maintain expert knowledge of US and international regulations, requirements, and guidance associated with preparation of regulatory documentation.
  • Effectively coordinate with Regulatory Operations to ensure on-time preparation and publication of regulatory submission documents.

  • Mentor junior writers as needed.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s Degree required, advanced degree in a relevant scientific / clinical / regulatory field a plus.
  • A minimum of 8 years of direct experience as a medical writer preparing regulated documents in the pharmaceutical industry. Marketing application experience (e.g., lead writer of Module 2.5, 2.7.3, or 2.7.4) required. Rare disease experience is a plus.
  • Experience as lead writer of key documents included in major US and / or international regulatory submissions comprising, but not limited to, clinical study reports (all sections including safety narratives), Investigator Brochures, clinical study protocols, marketing application summary documents, Investigational New Drug applications, clinical sections of New Drug Applications, and other regulatory documents (e.g., Briefing Documents).
  • In depth experience writing Safety sections of regulatory documents preferred.
  • Ability to independently write and complete documents to completion.
  • Extensive working knowledge of relevant FDA, EMA, and ICH guidelines, particularly ICH E3 and ICH E6.
  • Experience mentoring junior writers a plus.
  • Deep understanding of the drug development process.
  • Strong ability to assimilate and analytically interpret scientific data. Experience preparing data tables and basic figures required.
  • Proficient knowledge of American Medical Association (AMA) style guidelines.
