Job description

Program Manager – Regulatory Operations & Veeva RIM

Contract: 6–9 months

Start Date: October 1, 2026

Location: Remote / Hybrid with occasional travel

Hours: Primarily U.S. Eastern Time, with some UK collaboration

Compensation: Competitive hourly contract rate based on experience

About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Engagement Manager / Program Manager to support a major Regulatory Operations transformation within a global pharmaceutical organization.

The organization is implementing a more integrated, technology-enabled regulatory information and submission environment in partnership with Veeva. The program will bring together technology implementation, process transformation, data remediation, and organizational change management.

This is a highly collaborative, client-facing role that requires someone who understands both Regulatory Operations and complex technology implementations.

The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience managing or supporting Veeva Vault RIM programs, along with strong program management, process improvement, and stakeholder‑management capabilities.

This is not a traditional project management role. The successful candidate will understand how regulatory processes work and how technology, process, data, and change management must come together to deliver a successful implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day‑to‑day program and engagement management activities for a complex Regulatory Operations transformation.
• Develop and maintain an integrated program/project management plan covering technical, process, data, and change management workstreams.
• Manage project schedules, milestones, dependencies, risks, issues, and decisions.
• Coordinate across client, technology, consulting, and business teams to keep implementation activities on track.
• Support regulatory process design and optimization, including current-state assessment, future-state design, and gap analysis.
• Facilitate process‑mapping and process‑assessment activities.
• Translate identified process gaps into requirements, implementation activities, and change‑management initiatives.
• Support regulatory data assessment and remediation activities as part of the transition to an integrated RIM environment.
• Connect technology implementation activities with broader Regulatory Operations, eCTD, IDMP, and submission‑management processes.
• Facilitate workshops with business and technical stakeholders.
• Identify and manage cross-workstream dependencies and implementation risks.
• Support organizational change management and help stakeholders understand the impact and benefits of the transformation.
• Provide clear status reporting, communications

This job opens for applications on 9/10/2026. Applications for this job will be accepted for at least 30 days from the posting date.
