International Pharmacovigilance Lead

Global Pharmaceutical Company | Paris, France

Hybrid (8 remote working days per month)

If you've built experience across global pharmacovigilance—not just case processing, but understanding how an entire pharmacovigilance system operates—this is one of the more unique opportunities currently available.

We're supporting an internationally recognised pharmaceutical organisation in the search for a Safety International Project Lead to join its Global Safety function.

Supporting operations across approximately 150 countries , you'll work on the design, governance and continuous improvement of a global pharmacovigilance system rather than supporting an individual product portfolio.

This is a highly visible international role offering broad exposure across global safety operations, regulatory intelligence and affiliate management.

The Opportunity

Working within the Global Safety organisation, you'll play a key role in:

• Leading global pharmacovigilance regulatory intelligence and impact assessments
• Negotiating and managing Pharmacovigilance Agreements (PVAs/SDEAs)
• Supporting a worldwide network of Local Pharmacovigilance Responsible Persons
• Coordinating compliant pharmacovigilance systems across international affiliates
• Supporting QPPV Office activities, including oversight documentation and PSMF processes
• Working closely with Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, Commercial, Legal, Quality and Business Development
• Supporting inspections, audits and global compliance initiatives where required

This is a genuinely cross-functional position with significant international exposure.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in professionals who understand how a global pharmacovigilance system operates , rather than candidates whose experience has been limited to one specialist area.

You’ll ideally bring experience in several of the following:

• Pharmacovigilance Agreements (PVAs/SDEAs)
• Global PV Compliance
• Affiliate Oversight
• Local PV Systems
• QPPV Office support
• PSMF
• Case Processing and/or Aggregate Reporting earlier in your career

About You

You’ll likely have:

• Approximately 5+ years' experience within Global Pharmacovigilance
• Experience working within an international pharmaceutical environment
• Strong knowledge of global pharmacovigilance regulations
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• Confidence working with international affiliates and external partners
• A scientific degree (Pharmacy, Medicine, Life Sciences or similar)

French is not essential .

Why This Role?

Few organisations have dedicated global teams responsible for pharmacovigilance system governance at this scale.

This role offers exposure across:

• Global PV Governance
• International Regulatory Intelligence
• Worldwide Affiliate Management
• Business Development Partnerships
• Global Compliance
• QPPV Office Activities
• Cross-functional Strategic Projects

It's an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their global pharmacovigilance expertise and influence how an international safety system operates.

What's on Offer

• Approximately 50 days annual leave (including RTT)
• Highly collaborative international team
• Broad strategic exposure across global pharmacovigilance
• Long-term career development within an expanding Global Safety function
