About The Position

Quality in a globalized drug safety network is a matter of operational resilience as much as regulatory mandate. This role serves as a GVP Auditor within our Research & Development Quality audit program, responsible for executing the global audit plan to ensure the accuracy of safety data and compliance with legal and corporate standards. By conducting audits of our external partners and internal safety functions, you identify the findings and non-compliance trends that could impact the reliability of our pharmacovigilance system. We are looking for an experienced auditor who can navigate complex safety environments and work collaboratively with stakeholders to develop corrective actions that ensure long-term systemic stability.

Quality Assurance experience within a GVP-regulated environment, demonstrating a strong understanding of drug safety operations and regulatory frameworks.
Experience in audit and inspection management, with a clear understanding of the requirements for quality assurance in the pharmacovigilance discipline.
Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills, with the ability to work effectively with multinational teams and external stakeholders across different regions.
Working Knowledge of: ICH E2D(R1), E2A, E2B(R3), E2C(R2), and E2F Guidelines 21 CFR Part 314.80 (for drugs), 21 CFR Part 600 Subpart D (for biologics) and 21 CFR Part 4 (Combination product/duplicate reporting prevention) Directive 2001/83/EC (as amended) Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 520/2012 EMA GVP Modules (I–XVI + product/population-specific modules)

Develop and issue comprehensive Audit Reports, categorizing findings by risk level and providing recommendations for corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) related to drug safety.
Identify non-compliance trends and systematic risks within the PV discipline, communicating these findings to line management and functional leads to support PV system health and protect the integrity of the PSMF documenting it.
Support initiatives to improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) for audit conduct and partner with stakeholders to develop risk-based, compliant solutions that ensure compliance with EMA Guidelines on Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP Modules), and applicable global and local regulatory requirements.
