STADA UK Thornton & Ross – Regulatory Affairs Placement Student

Step into the world of Regulatory Affairs and turn theory into real‑world impact. On this year‑long placement, you’ll help keep licensed medicines and everyday healthcare products safe, compliant and on the market – all while being fully trained from day one.
No regulatory experience? Perfect. This role is designed for curious students starting from scratch. You’ll be embedded in our Regulatory Affairs team, getting hands‑on with day‑to‑day submissions, contributing to new and existing product projects, and seeing how products are managed throughout their lifecycle. Along the way, you’ll discover how different healthcare products are regulated and work with teams across the business to help bring compliant, trusted products to patients and consumers.
How You Will Make an Impact
Get hands-on with real regulatory work on medicines and healthcare products, supporting submissions, registrations, packaging, artwork and product updates
Play an active role in New and Existing Product Development projects, maintaining trackers and documentation and joining cross-functional project meetings
Build a strong foundation in how different healthcare products are regulated, from marketing authorisations and product information to post-market activities and regulatory intelligence
Work closely with R&D, Artwork, Vigilance, Quality, Supply Chain, Commercial and Marketing to see how Regulatory Affairs underpins safe, compliant products
Contribute to lifecycle and compliance activities, from tracking safety and regulatory actions to supporting audits and suggesting simple process improvements
Develop your professional work habits: organise your tasks, communicate clearly, follow procedures, protect confidentiality and collaborate respectfully across the business
What We Are Looking For
Open to newcomers – no previous Regulatory Affairs or pharma experience needed
Studying a degree, ideally in science, pharmacy or life sciences, with a strong appetite to learn
Genuine interest in healthcare, medicines, medical devices or how products are regulated
Sharp attention to detail and comfortable working carefully with documents, data and information
Clear written and verbal communicator with basic Microsoft Office skills and readiness to pick up new systems and tools
Organised, curious and collaborative – able to manage your workload, meet deadlines and ask for support when needed

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.
