(Senior) Global Patient Safety Physician

Senior Patient Safety Physician

An exciting opportunity has arisen within a leading global pharmaceutical organisation for an experienced (Senior) Global Patient Safety Physician to join their growing Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism (CRM) Patient Safety & Pharmacovigilance team. This is a highly visible, global position operating at the intersection of Patient Safety, Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs and Evidence Generation. The role offers the opportunity to shape the benefit-risk profile of innovative medicines from late-stage development through regulatory submission and ultimately to patients.

Working within one of the industry's most exciting cardio-renal-metabolic portfolios, you will support programmes spanning across cardiovascular risk reduction, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, obesity, liver disease, kidney disease, and other metabolic disorders, contributing to the development of medicines designed to transform standards of care for patients globally.

• Collaborate closely with Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Epidemiology and Regulatory Affairs teams to support global development strategies
• Contribute to regulatory documentation, including Risk Management Plans, DSURs, PSURs, Investigator Brochures and Clinical Overviews
• Present safety recommendations to senior management and governance committees
