• Interpret and apply relevant regulatory guidance (e.g., USDA CVB, EMA CVMP, VICH) to biologics development and submission strategies.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and Clinical teams to ensure regulatory alignment.
• Support regulatory agency interactions, including preparation for meetings, responses to queries, and inspection readiness.
• Monitor evolving veterinary biologics regulations and assess implications for ongoing and future projects.
• Advise on immunological aspects of product development, including antigen selection, adjuvant use, and immunogenicity assessment.
• Ensure timely and compliant execution of regulatory submissions and lifecycle activities.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree (DVM, PhD, MSc) in Immunology, Veterinary Medicine, Biology, or a related scientific discipline.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in veterinary regulatory affairs, with a focus on biologics.
• Demonstrated expertise in immunology as applied to veterinary product development.

• Strong understanding of USDA CVB and EMA/CVMP regulatory pathways.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
