Senior Director / Executive Director Medical Writing

£43.8 - £51.2 per hourEstimated
Full-time
Company Description
Medicine moves forward here. So will you.

At PrimeVigilance, patient safety is not one part of the job. It is why we exist.

We are a global pharmacovigilance specialist. Our teams help clients navigate complex regulations while keeping patient safety at the center of every decision, from early development through to post-marketing surveillance. Increasingly, the value we create is not only in processing safety data but in interpreting it: spotting the signal that matters early and turning it into insight our clients can act on.

That work takes curious minds, problem-solvers and experts who care about getting it right. It also takes a culture worth staying for. Across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia, we work in an environment built on kindness, flexibility, growth and belonging, where colleagues support one another and good ideas are heard wherever they come from.

If you want a role with real purpose, global reach and the chance to keep growing while you help protect patients, you will feel at home here. We would love to hear from you.

  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, ensuring exceptional service and trusted partnerships.
  • Represent the organization externally through industry engagement, publications, presentations, and professional development activities.
Qualifications
The preferred candidate will have:
  • Master’s degree in life sciences or healthcare, PhD preferable
  • Extensive pharmacovigilance and PV Medical Writing experience, including leadership and people management of high-performing teams.
  • Deep knowledge of global pharmacovigilance regulations, with expertise in authoring and reviewing aggregate safety reports and PV procedures.
  • Proven experience supporting regulatory compliance, inspections, and pharmacovigilance system oversight, including QPPV or Deputy QPPV responsibilities.
  • Strong business acumen with experience supporting proposals, client engagements, and bid defense activities.
  • Excellent scientific, regulatory, and analytical capabilities, including translating complex clinical and safety data into clear, high-quality regulatory and scientific documents
