Regulatory Affairs and Drug Safety
We recruit the specialists who navigate global regulatory pathways and safeguard patient safety — expertise that's essential from IND through post-market surveillance.
Regulatory pathways are shifting fast — accelerated approvals, evolving global harmonisation, and intensifying post-market safety expectations — making seasoned regulatory judgement one of the hardest capabilities to source and one of the most consequential to get right.
Recent placements:
- Head of Regulatory Affairs, Global pharma
- Head of Pharmacovigilance, Mid-size biopharma
- Senior Director Clinical Safety, Mid-size biopharma
- Senior Director Regulatory Affairs, Global pharma
Approach
Execruit went directly to leaders with hands-on multi-region submission experience already inside our network rather than opening a fresh market scan — the same first-hand regulatory background behind this practice shaped how candidates were assessed for submission-specific judgement, not just titles.
Outcome
A shortlist was presented within 10 days; the client made an offer inside three weeks, and the hire led the submission to approval in all three regions on the revised timeline.
This practice is led by Signe Reidla, who served as Global Regulatory Lead for an innovative new medicinal product at F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, guiding it to global approvals having direct, hands-on regulatory experience that shapes how Execruit evaluates regulatory affairs and drug safety talent.
