• Overseeing MedDRA coding of adverse events and medical history to ensure clinical appropriateness and consistency with GPS standards
• Collaborating across PV teams, RM leads, and clinical development teams to produce comprehensive case documentation prior to regulatory submissions
• Serving as the medical resource for assigned Regeneron compounds within the GPS POD and resolving case‑level issues as needed
• Supporting SOP development, process improvements, and inspection readiness activities within GPS

• Exceptional knowledge of ICH E2A, E2B, and E2D guidelines along with FDA/EMA pharmacovigilance regulations governing ICSR processing and expedited reporting
• Strong expertise in independent medical review of ICSR reports, including narrative authoring, causality assessment, and expectedness determination
• Strong proficiency with Argus Safety or equivalent safety databases
• Advanced MedDRA coding proficiency with consistent clinically appropriate term selection
• Strong clinical judgment and the ability to assess complex cases and communicate rationale clearly in written documentation
• Experience or interest in AI technologies within pharmacovigilance operations

To Be Considered for This Role:
