Our Regulatory Affairs division supports customers throughout the entire regulatory lifecycle of their products, whether they are traditional pharmaceutical products, generic medicines, vaccines, biologicals, biosimilars, medical devices, IVDs or Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP). Our RA division has a strong international presence with over 50 colleagues in Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Switzerland, Spain and Austria. Our customer portfolio spans the entire globe (Asia, US, Europe, Africa).
As Division Head – Regulatory Affairs your primary responsibility is the further growth of the RA division on an international level. You take responsibility for managing, organising and planning all knowledge activities within the RA division. Furthermore, you are involved in effective resource planning and you act as the single point of contact for the supporting departments and other divisions. In this position you’ll report to the Chief Operations Officer.
What do we expect from you as Division Head – Regulatory Affairs?
* You are responsible for the establishment of the RA division within the QbD Group, including the realization of the business plan of your division, KPI’s and P&L by translating strategic objectives into concrete action plans.
* You share experience & knowledge and represent the RA division both inside and outside of the organization.

* You identify new opportunities and initiatives within your division and in collaboration with other divisions.
* You communicate effectively the expectation levels and vision of the company to your division.
* You encourage, train and mentor the members of your division in a manner that results in high performance and general growth (you give support on projects, refer to experts in QbD, detect training needs and setup a training program).
* You play an active role and support HR in recruiting new members for your division (assisting HR in interviews with candidates, at job fairs).
* You ensure the division is represented outside the company.
* In general, your responsibilities are 50% outside oriented, 25% internally focused (coaching, training) and 25% collaboration with shared services (finance, HR, sales, marketing).

* You are a coach for your division members and encourage them to get things done.
* You are a good communicator who already experienced the importance of a proactive approach and you know how to deal with opposition in a calm and constructive manner.
