In the highly regulated world of life sciences, regulatory affairs professionals play a critical role in ensuring compliance and safety. ✅ A hiring manager within this field needs the ability to identify and qualify top talent to ensure organisational success. 🏆 But where do you start...❓ The latest blog from our in-house Regulatory Affairs expert, Connor Baumann, explores essential strategies and best practices for effective candidate qualification ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eqaJPXt7 #regulatorycompliance #regulatoryaffairs #candidatejourney

Coming to the end of the TOPRA - The Organisation for Professionals in Regulatory Affairs symposium 2023 and it’s been absolutely excellent this year. Valuable connections made, great speaker sessions attended and conference branded teddy bear obtained. It’s been great to speak to so many #regulatoryaffairs people about the issues in the industry, the big challenges moving forward and also offer some solutions to the more common problems. If you’re hiring in #regaffairs give PharmiWeb.jobs: Global Life Science Jobs a shout! We have a solution to fit any business.

One of the major hurdles for life science professionals is navigating roles combining science and regulations. Matching talents with appreciative positions is my forte; the essence of regulatory affairs, clinical operations, and quality assurance grows increasingly crucial. Connect with me for a career trajectory in sync with this evolving field. #LifeScience #RegulatoryCompliance #CareerAlignment

Dear network, As I have completed my PhD in Life Sciences (specialized in Pharmaceutical Sciences), it is now time to kickstart my career journey! I believe a career is meant to be rich and diverse, so I am interested and open to different opportunities. I have honed my skills in several areas so I could be a versatile asset in a dynamic environment. You can learn more about me in my illustrated CV below, or by sending me a message ☺️ Given my 5-years experience working with bacteria and fecal transplants, I am open to work in a field involving therapeutic use of bacteria, in #microbiome #science, as a #researcher or as a #specialist. My experience in solid oral formulations are also a valuable asset to work in Chemistry, manufacturing and controls (#CMC). As I am also passionate about science and making science accessible, I am also open to an entry-level position in Medical/Scientific Affairs, in Regulatory Affairs, in Science/Medical communication/writing/journalism, and in Public Health. Please reach out to me and share this post with your network if you know someone who might be interested🙏🏽Thank you very much in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing from you! #opentowork #career #entrylevel #medicalaffairs #scicomm #sciencecommunication #scienceoutreach #regulatoryaffairs #publichealth

🔀 Transitioning from Permanent to Contract in Regulatory Affairs: Key Considerations 🔀 Embarking on a new journey from a permanent regulatory affairs role to a contract position in the life sciences industry? Here are some vital things to weigh: • Flexibility & Variety: Embrace the opportunity for diverse experiences. Contract roles offer exposure to different projects, companies, and therapeutic areas, broadening your expertise and boosting adaptability. • Network Expansion: Engage with a range of professionals. Contract work introduces you to a vast network of peers, mentors, and industry leaders, enhancing your connections and insights. • Financial Agility: Assess the financial implications. Contracting can offer increased earning potential, but remember to consider factors like benefits, taxes, and financial planning. • Time Management: Balance work-life dynamics. Contracting can offer more control over your schedule, but meticulous time management is crucial to ensure project timelines are met. • Continuous Learning: Commit to ongoing development. Stay current with industry trends, regulations, and skills to remain competitive and sought-after as a contract regulatory affairs professional. Remember, this transition is an exciting chapter in your regulatory affairs journey. Embrace the opportunities, challenge yourself, and continue to make a significant impact in the dynamic landscape of life sciences. 🚀🔬  #RegulatoryAffairs #ContractLifeScience Linkfield Life Sciences

Excited for new opportunities in Life Sciences! Nearly done with my PhD in Biomedical Sciences (available to start), eager to bring my skills to a dynamic team. Looking for Project management and Regulatory Affairs roles. Open to connections and opportunities! #JobSearch #LifeSciences #ProjectManagement

This kind of structure is lacking in #srilanka If at all, it's extremely poor and options are scarse. #lifesciences graduates are mostly encouraged to remain within academia as lecturers and to only pursue opportunities within that sphere whilst job roles in the other related industries are not encouraged. Hence, those industries falling short on actual expertise and skills and relying on school leavers and diploma holders so that they can pay lower salaries. Research opportunities are also very rare, what with an ailing economy it's honestly hard to see any hope for more jobs in that field. Within the tiny pool of vacancies the competition is high and not everyone is given an equal opportunity. I really hope we change our perspective on STEM jobs and create a healthy environment for #STEM industry jobs. It's a long shot, but fingers crossed.

10 roles in #biotech or #pharma you could consider with your STEM advanced degree: 1. Product manager - product managers are crucial members of the marketing team for a product. They often collect customer insights and liaise between marketing and R&D to make sure products are meeting specific customer pain points. 2. Project manager - project managers oversee research and development projects from conception to completion. 3. Regulatory affairs manager - they keep companies on the straight and narrow with the laws and regulations that govern drug and medical device approvals. 4. Sales representative - if you worked in the lab, you saw these people at least once a week. They ask many questions so they can sell you the right stuff. I used to get annoyed with them but now they are one of my favorite groups of people. 😍 5. Medical science liaison - MSLs work with key opinion leaders in specific disease research areas so they can test upcoming medications as they seek approval from regulatory bodies. 6. Business development manager - BDMs identify new business opportunities and partnerships for biotech companies. 7. Quality control specialist - if you like checklists, you will like this job. They monitor production processes, review product documentation, and implement quality control procedures to ensure that products are safe and effective. 8. Medical communications - this is what I do. Super cool gig if you like to write and create content out of scientific data. 9. Field applications scientists - these scientists ensure that customers and clients are using a company's technology the way it's supposed to be used. Often they travel the "field" which is a given geographical territory. 10. Clinical trial liaison - CTLs like MSLs are crucial to the drug clinical trial process. CTLs are often a driving force behind patient enrollment in key clinical trials. The industry has indeed been in a rough spot with the unpredictable economy but these are some roles you could look into. Is this list helpful? REPOST IT! Anything you would add to the list?
