This role will set the strategy, oversee implementation, and manage optimization of the company’s global regulatory systems and processes, with a primary focus on the Veeva Vault RIM platform and associated technologies. This is a build-and-scale role. The Director will provide hands-on leadership in establishing processes, optimizing systems, and ensuring operational excellence, while also shaping the long-term vision and future capabilities of the RIM function. The role includes preparing the organization for future structured data submission requirements — such as Veeva Registrations, IDMP readiness, and eCTD 4.0 — and collaborating across Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Development, Quality, Information Sciences (IS), IT, and other functions to establish integrated global processes. The Director will also identify opportunities to introduce innovative solutions — such as automation or AI — where appropriate to improve efficiency and data quality.
