Trend Analysis: Identify non-compliance trends and systematic risks within the PV discipline, communicating these findings to line management and functional leads to support PV system health and protect the integrity of the PSMF documenting it.
Continuous Improvement: Support initiatives to improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) for audit conduct and partner with stakeholders to develop risk-based, compliant solutions that ensure compliance with EMA Guidelines on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP Modules), and applicable global and local regulatory requirements..
Regulatory Knowledge: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of global GVP regulations (Good Pharmacovigilance Practices) and industry trends, to support internal quality and compliance.
Position Qualifications & Experience

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
