Today, more than 7,000 subject matter experts from over 150 organisations — including 18 of the world’s top 20 biopharma companies — collaborate through BioPhorum’s facilitated workstreams to solve industry‑wide challenges and shape future best practices.

Following a period of strong growth, including new product launches and acquisitions, BioPhorum is entering an exciting new phase of expansion — and we are looking for a Global Change Facilitator to join our Regulatory CMC Phorum.

The Role

As a Global Change Facilitator within the Regulatory CMC Phorum, you will play a key role in enabling collaboration across the global biopharmaceutical industry. You will facilitate expert‑led workstreams focused on Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) regulatory challenges, helping members share insights, align on best practices, and drive meaningful industry outcomes.

Blending facilitation, project leadership, scientific understanding, and stakeholder engagement, you will create high‑performing collaborative environments where complex regulatory and operational topics are translated into practical, impactful deliverables.

This is a highly collaborative and fast‑paced role requiring strong communication skills, organisational capability, adaptability, and a proactive approach.

• Design and facilitate both virtual and in‑person meetings, workshops, and events for senior industry stakeholders
• Co‑develop impactful deliverables including industry guidance, position papers, best‑practice frameworks, proof‑of‑concepts, and conference content
• Monitor member engagement and proactively identify and resolve risks or barriers to progress
• Maintain and optimise internal systems, reporting tools, and collaboration platforms
• Capture and communicate value stories demonstrating the impact of industry collaboration
• Feed member insights back into the organisation to support continuous improvement and future Phorum development

• CMC lifecycle management and post‑approval change management
• Digital and data‑enabled regulatory approaches
• Global submission and regulatory strategy challenges
• Emerging modalities and advanced manufacturing approaches
• Inspection readiness and evolving regulatory expectations
• Industry best practices for CMC development and compliance

You will work alongside senior leaders and subject matter experts from across the global biopharma ecosystem to help shape the future of Regulatory CMC.

• Ability to synthesise complex technical and regulatory information into clear, actionable insights
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver against timelines
