Regulatory affairs over the next decade
The biopharmaceutical industry is set to transform over the next ten years. The introduction of new immunotherapies, personalised medicines, and the rise of novel diseases necessitates developing, trialling and distributing vaccines and treatments. The regulatory affairs market is anticipated to grow from its current value of $13.8 billion to $27 billion by 2030.
Across every market in which a pharmaceutical or medical devices company wishes to dispense its products, regulatory professionals ensure their employer is advised on legal and scientific restraints surrounding distribution, advertising, and record-keeping.
Regulatory affairs jobs safeguard their employers and customers and add value by assisting in matters of commercial and technical strategy at the highest level in the organisation they represent. The function of regulatory affairs specialists over the last decade has continued to evolve. For example, many companies now find their regulatory staff at the heart of the research and development process for novel drugs and devices.
Organisation-critical regulatory affairs roles
Regulatory affairs jobs often span the life sciences sector, from in-house regulatory affairs officers working within global medical device manufacturers to chemistry, manufacturing and controls teams. Regulatory affairs professionals placed by Warman O’Brien have been consulting biopharmaceutical firms in emerging markets such as the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. We’re experts in ensuring passionate and dedicated Regulatory Affairs professionals fill these critical roles.
CMC (Chemistry, manufacturing and controls)
