The department provides broad exposure across the organisation and offers the opportunity to influence future ways of working through collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement.

Your skills and qualifications

We are looking for a proactive and curious professional who enjoys working with both people and data. You thrive in collaborative environments, take ownership of your work and are motivated by solving complex challenges while supporting colleagues and stakeholders.

To succeed in this role, you should have:

A Master’s degree in Science, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Health Sciences or a related discipline.

At least 7-8 years of experience within pharmacovigilance, drug safety or a closely related area.

Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken, with the ability to engage effectively across organisational levels.

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.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 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.
