This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Director, Regulatory Affairs CMC in United States.

This is a senior-level regulatory leadership role focused on driving global Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) strategy across complex biopharmaceutical development programs. The position plays a critical role in ensuring regulatory excellence from early development through commercialization and post-approval lifecycle management. Operating in a fast-paced, highly collaborative biotech environment, the role requires deep expertise in global regulatory frameworks and the ability to influence cross-functional teams spanning Manufacturing, Quality, Clinical Operations, and Program Management. The Director will act as a key strategic partner, shaping regulatory pathways that enable timely clinical progression, successful submissions, and compliant product launches. This is a high-impact opportunity to directly contribute to the advancement of innovative therapies and global patient access.

Accountabilities:
  • Lead the development and execution of global CMC regulatory strategies across all stages of product development, including IND, IMPD, BLA/MAA, and post-approval activities.
  • Oversee preparation, quality, and delivery of CMC sections for global regulatory submissions, including responses to Health Authority questions and queries.
  • Provide strategic regulatory guidance to Manufacturing and Quality teams to ensure compliance, inspection readiness, and alignment with global requirements.
  • Manage regulatory aspects of manufacturing changes, product lifecycle updates, and global change control processes.
  • Coordinate and support global regulatory submissions, maintaining alignment with regional requirements and evolving regulatory expectations.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery of key regulatory milestones across development and commercialization programs.
  • Identify regulatory risks proactively and develop mitigation strategies to support program timelines and success.
  • Contribute to internal regulatory knowledge sharing by capturing best practices, insights, and lessons learned across programs.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences or related scientific discipline required; advanced degree (MS or PhD) strongly preferred.
  • 10+ years of experience in biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry, including at least 7+ years in Regulatory Affairs with strong CMC focus.
  • Proven experience leading CMC components of global regulatory submissions, including BLA/MAA filings.
  • Strong experience interacting with global Health Authorities (FDA, EMA, and other international agencies).
  • Deep understanding of CMC regulatory requirements across clinical development, commercialization, and lifecycle management.
  • Strong knowledge of FDA regulations, ICH guidelines, and global regulatory frameworks.
  • Extensive experience with CTD structure and global submission requirements.
  • Ability to independently manage multiple complex regulatory programs in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, and ability to balance scientific, operational, and regulatory priorities.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including regulatory writing and executive-level stakeholder engagement.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and senior leadership without direct authority.
  • High attention to detail with a strong commitment to quality, compliance, and regulatory rigor.
  • Ability to work autonomously, meet strict deadlines, and adapt to evolving priorities.
  • Recent, hands-on experience in CMC regulatory activities within a regulated life sciences environment is essential.
Benefits:
  • 12-month full-time contractor engagement with potential for extension based on performance and business needs.
  • Competitive contract structure aligned with senior regulatory leadership roles.
  • Primarily remote work model with EST hours alignment.
  • Occasional on-site collaboration opportunities in Waltham, MA.
