At AstraZeneca, we work with diverse minds, all united by a shared passion to learn, grow and discover.


Within Oncology Regulatory Science, Strategy & Excellence (ORSSE), we bring hope and solutions to patients across the globe. As Regulatory professionals working on Oncology products, we work in areas of unmet need and take innovative regulatory approaches to bring life-changing treatments to patients. We work across our pipeline and the business to get medicines to patients as efficiently and effectively as possible.


The Associate Director of Translational Regulatory Science provides strategic and regulatory leadership to the development, commercialization, and life cycle management of assigned product(s) with a specific focus on translational areas. This requires early anticipation of the potential regulatory impact and developing capabilities to design regulatory strategies applicable to early and late development projects, which meet regulatory agencies’ requirements. The Associate Director of Translational Regulatory Science interfaces between the functional areas involved in these projects, participates in the projects as a team member, and helps identify all necessary regulatory aspects that may benefit from interactions with regulatory authorities in both early and late stages of development or through an ongoing development program.


In this role, you will be responsible for developing, aligning, and implementing regulatory strategies to ensure successful early and late Oncology development projects on a global scale. The successful candidate will work closely within cross-functional teams to ensure that regulatory requirements in Oncology clinical trials, including those for innovative biomarkers, technologies (e.g., ctDNA, computational pathology, AI/ML), and therapeutics are met throughout the drug development process. The impact and visibility of this position are high, with implications for regulatory decisions, timelines, and advancement for the company in contributing to the ORSSE "Roadmap" implementation.


What You will be Doing:
  1. Guide the development of global regulatory strategies to facilitate the advancement of early and late Oncology programs, including those that involve innovative biomarkers, technologies, and therapeutics.
  2. Develop and implement regulatory strategies to support the clinical development of Oncology therapeutic products, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives.
  3. Work closely within cross-functional teams, actively participating in decision-making processes related to drug development queries.
  4. Serve as a Regulatory Affairs representative on designated global project teams, offering strategic insights and guidance on key development and regulatory documents.
  5. Engage with major health authorities to optimize regulatory strategies and maintain productive relationships.
  6. Keep abreast of relevant regulatory policies and guidelines, understanding their implications for clinical and scientific practices.
  7. Drive opportunities for external engagement, contributing to relevant publications and participating in external speaking events to enhance the company's visibility and influence in the regulatory landscape.

Education, Qualifications, Skills, and Experience:


  1. Advanced degree in life sciences or a related field, such as Ph.D., Pharm.D., or M.Sc.
  2. Minimum of 2 years of experience in regulatory affairs or a closely related field.
  3. Expertise in therapeutic product regulations, with a thorough understanding of global regulatory frameworks.
  4. Understanding of regulatory affairs in Oncology throughout both early- and late-stage development.
  5. Demonstrated competencies in strategic thinking, internal and external influencing, innovation, initiative, leadership, and exceptional oral and written communication skills.
  6. Strong abilities in communication, negotiation, and problem-solving.
  7. Proficiency in working effectively within cross-functional teams and managing multiple priorities.
  8. Excellent organizational and project management abilities, with keen attention to detail.
  9. Capacity to work autonomously while maintaining high-quality standards.
  10. Ability to work strategically within innovative, complex, business-critical and high-profile development programs.
  11. Prior experience with Oncology regulatory affairs; understand the strategic and tactical roles and deliverables of global regulatory strategy in Oncology drug development.
  12. Knowledge and understanding of guiding principles in drug development such as benefit/risk profile, dose selection or statistical design.
  13. Technical experience and understanding of biomarker innovations such as use of AI/ML computational pathology, or digital health would be advantageous.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office.
