Regulatory Affairs Jobs

About Regulatory Affairs roles

Regulatory Affairs professionals secure and maintain permission to market medicines and medical devices. They plan regulatory strategy, compile and submit dossiers, answer queries from health authorities, and keep products compliant through variations, renewals and labelling updates over their lifetime.

Submissions follow the Common Technical Document (CTD/eCTD) format. Specialist areas include CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls) documentation, clinical trial applications, labelling and product information, regulatory operations and publishing, and medical device regulation under frameworks such as EU MDR and India's Medical Device Rules.

Most roles ask for a pharmacy, life-science or chemistry degree and familiarity with the guidelines of authorities such as CDSCO, US FDA and EMA. Attention to detail, document management and clear communication with cross-functional teams matter as much as technical knowledge.
