Manager / Senior Manager, Regulatory Affairs [FDA strategy focused]
[Please note that this is an office based position at Flatiron's office in New York, NY]
Flatiron Health is accelerating research with the most advanced real-world evidence (RWE) platform in oncology. We build RWE data sets with high quality, accuracy, recency, and scale, allowing our partners to use RWE to answer critical questions. Flatiron Health has active partnerships with the top 15 life science companies, top-tier academic medical centers, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
To support our RWE platform, Flatiron Health is seeking Regulatory Affairs experts to join our team. This role will be responsible for enabling successful regulatory submissions for our life science partners by effectively leveraging RWE in evidence packages for the approval of drugs, biologics, and/or medical devices. While the primary focus will be FDA approvals, the focus will expand internationally over time (e.g., European Medicines Agency [EMA], Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency [PDMA]).
This role will support peer to peer interaction with life science partners’ regulatory teams. While this position will not directly handle submissions (i.e., Flatiron is not the sponsor), successful candidates will leverage their deep regulatory affairs expertise to assist Flatiron Health and our partners navigate the regulatory submission life-cycle from discovery (e.g. using RWE to define drugs targets) to post-marketing activities (e.g. using RWE for new indications).
