Pharmacovigilance (PV) Manager — Contract
Remote EU, 12 month contract
The opportunity
I'm partnered with a biotech client who needs an experienced PV Manager to step into their drug-safety function on an interim basis and run it from day one. This is hands-on operational leadership — keeping the safety machine compliant, audit-ready and moving — with immediate impact and minimal ramp-up expected.
What You'll Be Doing
- Overseeing day-to-day PV operations, including ICSR intake, processing and quality review
- Authoring and managing aggregate safety reports (PSURs / PBRERs / DSURs) and supporting RMPs
- Supporting signal detection and management, and benefit-risk assessment
- Maintaining the PSMF, SOPs and GVP compliance; supporting audit and inspection readiness and CAPA
- Acting as deputy to / supporting the EU-QPPV and managing PV service providers or affiliates
- Overseeing literature surveillance and safety-database quality
