Senior Regulatory Executive

Dreaming of a job where you help break new ground? We may have just the role you are looking for here at PAGB.

PAGB, the consumer healthcare association, represents the manufacturers of branded OTC medicines, self care medical devices and food supplements in the UK. PAGB empowers self care by being the expert voice of the consumer healthcare industry; we shape our environment through engaging with stakeholders on key policy issues and ensuring best practice in our industry.

As we adapt to life outside the EU and its systems, UK regulators are developing new ways to guarantee the availability and safety of OTC medicines and medical devices used by millions of people to manage health problems and practise self care.

As Senior Regulatory Executive at PAGB, you will be

• part of a team with opportunities to help shape the new regulatory landscape that meets the needs of business and consumers alike.
• develop and maintain relationships with the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority) as well as stakeholders across Government, the consumer healthcare industry, and other national and international trade associations.
• be the key contact providing advice for member companies in the field – whether they are producing nasal sprays to stave off hay fever, emollient cream to alleviate eczema or eye drops to prevent irritation.
• have a keen eye for detail, without ever losing sight of the bigger regulatory picture, and the ability to absorb and distil technical information for briefing documents, reports and press statements.

It is a varied and challenging role in which no two days are the same.
