I’m working with a UK headquartered global pharma / medical device company.  Well established and with a niche product portfolio they’re actively investing in their regulatory affairs function  The aim is develop regulatory as a function so that they are a more strategic, forward thinking and value added part of  the business.  They’re looking for people who want to grow with the business as they revitalise the regulatory team as a key partner in the business.

The company is catering to a patient population with unmet needs and has products that truly make a difference.  I can speak really highly of the business itself but it’s the people there that really make this such a fantastic opportunity.  There’s a really consistent culture there as they employ according to type.  They’re positive, high calibre, high energy and importantly genuinely decent, likable and fun.  There’s also a strong  focus on wellbeing and it’s an incredibly supportive culture.

• You’ll have specific experience of having worked in UK / Ireland organisations.
