About the Role:

We are seeking experienced Medical Coders to support post-market surveillance and adverse event case processing tied to FDA reporting requirements.

• Perform MedDRA coding on adverse event reports derived from consumer complaints.
• Conduct seriousness, severity, and expectedness assessments for each case.
• Identify potentially reportable serious adverse events in compliance with FDA requirements.
• Process daily consumer complaints within the client's proprietary database (no external data management solutions).
• Ensure accurate and timely case processing to support post-market surveillance continuity.
• Collaborate with internal safety and regulatory teams to align on case definitions and coding conventions.

Required Experience & Skills:

• Proven experience in post-market surveillance and adverse event case processing.
• Direct experience with consumer products, specifically nicotine and tobacco products (required).
• Expertise in MedDRA coding, seriousness/severity/expectedness assessments, and identification of reportable events.
• Familiarity with FDA reporting requirements for adverse events.
• Ability to work directly within a client's internal safety database (no third‑party system management).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certified Medical Coder (e.g., CPC, CCS, or equivalent) preferred but not required if deep relevant experience is demonstrated.
• Prior experience with consumer health, OTC, or regulated consumer goods.
• Understanding of regulatory expectations for adverse event reporting timelines.
