About Aithena:
Aithena is a UK-based AI company building software for the pharmaceutical industry. Our flagship product, MLRcle (pronounced “miracle”), is an AI-powered Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) review tool that helps pharma teams compress review cycles from weeks to days, without compromising on rigour. We're founder-led and growing fast, working with leading pharma companies across pilots and live deployments. Compliance intelligence sits at the very heart of what we build.
Role Description:
This is a rare chance to take deep MLR review expertise and apply it at scale. Rather than reviewing one job bag at a time, you'll shape how compliance review is done across every material that passes through MLRcle. This role goes beyond reviewing documents: you'll help build the future of MLR review, taking established rules and manual processes and elevating them into something faster and more consistent. You'll be the in-house authority on the ABPI Code and codes of practice more broadly, validating and improving the compliance rules that power MLRcle, expanding them into new markets, and working directly with clients to make sure the system thinks the way a great reviewer does. You'll work directly with the co-founders and have real influence over the product's direction.
What you'll do:
Compliance intelligence
- Validate and improve the compliance rules within MLRcle, making sure findings reflect how an experienced ABPI Code reviewer would judge a material, covering the standard checks as well as the edge cases, across a wide range of material types
- Keep the rule set current as codes of practice are updated and new case precedent emerges, deciding what needs to be added, amended or retired
- Diagnose issues raised through client feedback and work with the development team to resolve them from a compliance perspective

Quality and testing
- Design and run structured testing of compliance outputs against real-world promotional and medical materials
- Define and standardise our quality process for signing off compliance checks as client-ready: what gets tested, what good looks like, and when something is approved
Clients and markets
- Lead the expansion of our compliance rules into other markets, validating rules against other European codes of practice and rest-of-world codes over time, working with local experts on what applies in each market
- Work directly with clients: delivering training, providing compliance support and advice, and refining how compliance rules are applied in their local context
- Use client compliance data and KPIs to uncover key risks, identify training needs and drive improvement on the client side
Shaping what's next
- Provide compliance input into new Aithena products, helping to shape and validate them
- Contribute to industry standards and thought leadership on what good AI-assisted MLR review looks like
- Act as the voice of the reviewer internally, championing compliance rigour in everything we build

What we're looking for
- At least 2 years' hands-on experience reviewing pharmaceutical promotional and medical materials for compliance with the ABPI Code, as an MLR reviewer or as a signatory
- Experience reviewing across more than one therapy area (ideally)
- Deep working knowledge of the ABPI Code of Practice and the PMCPA complaints process (experience with other European codes also highly valued)
- Real enthusiasm for the Code of Practice and for compliance
- A clear communicator, comfortable working directly with clients and within the team
- Hands-on, with an individual contributor mindset. You build and do, rather than just advise
- Comfortable with ambiguity. Much of this work has no established playbook, so you'll be setting the conventions others follow
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced scale-up environment, and agile in how you work. We're a small team, so everyone has a large impact
Why join Aithena
- Shape a product that's changing how MLR review is delivered across life sciences
- Work directly with the co-founders. Your judgement will carry real weight from day one
- Fully remote (UK-based), with a competitive package
- Grow with the company. As we expand into new markets, so does the scope of this role
