Global Regulatory Strategy Director
I'm working with a globally recognised, research-driven pharmaceutical organisation with a strong presence across specialist therapeutic areas. With a patient-centric culture and a commitment to scientific innovation, they are seeking an experienced Global Regulatory Strategy Director, to join their regulatory leadership team.
This is a high-impact position offering the opportunity to influence global development programmes, lead regulatory strategy for innovative neurology assets, and drive interactions with major health authorities worldwide.
The Opportunity
As the Global Regulatory Strategy Director, you will provide strategic regulatory leadership across the development and lifecycle management of neurology products. Acting as the regulatory lead within cross-functional project teams, you will be responsible for developing and executing global regulatory strategies that support successful clinical development, registration, and commercialisation activities.
You will represent Regulatory Affairs at a senior level, collaborating closely with clinical, medical, commercial, and external partner teams while leading interactions with global regulatory agencies.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
