Description Overview
We are excited to recruit a Vice President, Head of Regulatory Affairs – Cluster. In this role you will lead the Global Cluster Regulatory organisation and provide senior leadership for in-market regulatory strategy, execution, registration delivery, launch readiness, lifecycle transition and ongoing market support.
This role is the senior regulatory partner to Cluster and Commercial Leadership, translating global regulatory intent into clear local execution that supports business performance, market access, supply continuity and compliant growth.
Your role is accountable for cluster regulatory strategies, national registrations, health authority interactions, labelling and promotional compliance, submission quality, approval, timing, launch readiness, post-approval execution and issue escalation.
As VP, you will define the operating model, decision rights, governance and escalation pathways needed to connect Category Regulatory Affairs, Cluster Regulatory Affairs, Lifecycle Management, Regulatory Operations, Quality, Safety, Supply, R&D and Commercial teams into one execution-focused regulatory voice.
Where required, the role may also directly lead one cluster. In that case, as a VP you must maintain clear separation between enterprise leadership and cluster execution, with transparent prioritization, delegation and escalation.
Scope of the Role
Cluster Regulatory Strategy, Execution and Business Partnership
- Define and lead cluster regulatory strategy, translating global regulatory intent into executable market plans aligned to category strategy, commercial priorities and enterprise value creation
- Provide VP-level leadership for registration execution, launch delivery, market access, supply continuity, regulatory risk management and prioritisation across clusters
- Act as the senior regulatory partner to Cluster Commercial Leadership, providing clear options, risks, recommendations and decision support for growth, launch and portfolio decisions
