What does a regulatory affairs job entail?
Jobs in regulatory affairs are concerned with ensuring medical products are safe and have the proper licensing. This is done in line with legal requirements and a regulatory affairs department will ensure that a pharmaceutical firm complies with legislation set by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Staff duties can vary, however most roles will be responsible for advising on legal constraints, submitting necessary documents to regulatory bodies and offering guidance on areas such as marketing. Professionals will also need to keep up-to date on international legislation, depending on the countries where the product will be distributed.
Salaries and Entry requirements

Junior and entry-level jobs will usually require a university degree and recruitment agencies will look to identify graduates with qualifications in a science related discipline such as pharmacy or biomedicine. Experience in a research, analysis or quality assurance role is also favoured by employers. Additionally, recruiters will look for candidates with organisational skills, scientific understanding and an awareness of legal issues.
