What does 'family business' mean to you?

For some, it's code for small, for others it is a collaborative and friendly space.

The truth - it's usually both.

Family, small to midsized pharmaceutical companies look after their staff. You become part of their community, their culture, and the way they do things.

In our experience, staff at family run SMEs experience longer levels of employment than at large global corporations, and are often compensated well over time for their rewards.

Which is why, I am delighted to be representing a leading (family run) pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation based near Watford in the UK.

This amazing company are going through a great transformation that should ensure the company's future for generations to come, and as part of that they are looking for reliable, professional and hard working Regulatory Affairs professionals.

As part of this expansion, our client is looking for someone with 5+ years experience in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs (ideally in a similar style of company, but they are open to people from all different pharmaceutical organisations).

You need to have a hard working attitude, good attention to detail, and you need to be able to work well with your team. Your experience in eCTD manager and document management tools will be valued, and you will need knowledge of global Regulatory requirements and guidelines (MHRA, EMA and ICH).

This is a site based role near Watford (5 days per week) and would suit someone looking for a company they can grow with, and build with, and that will give them huge career tragectory in a culture that is supportive and dynamic.
