Manager Regulatory Intelligence

The Manager in Regulatory Intelligence (RI) is a lead-level contributor within Global Regulatory Affairs who independently owns assigned surveillance workstreams and serves as the primary regulatory intelligence partner for defined stakeholder groups and geographic regions. This role moves beyond task execution: the manager coordinates cross-functional impact assessments, steers the development of RI communications, and actively contributes to process improvement across the function.

The manager operates with a high degree of independence, managing deliverables across multiple regulatory domains while building and maintaining strong relationships with internal SMEs, industry associations, and relevant regulators. The manager is expected to bring sound judgment, a global compliance mindset, and the ability to translate complex regulatory signals into actionable guidance for the business.

From time to time the manager will need to act as subject matter expert on new and emerging topics or requirements within the company.
