3What this role really is

This job handles the paperwork and submissions that let products reach patients in different countries. It involves keeping records in line with the rules set by health authorities around the world, and coordinating with different people to keep submissions on track.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Veeva Vault RIM Intermediate

You'll use this daily to locate documents, complete data entry for routine submissions, track commitments, and run pre-configured reports. You'll understand its basic structure and how to navigate it efficiently.

Lorenz docuBridge / Extedo eCTDmanager Basic

You'll use this to import documents, set basic properties, and perform simple publishing tasks under supervision, usually for a single region or specific module. You'll get familiar with the interface and basic functions.

TrackWise Digital / MasterControl QMS Intermediate

You'll initiate and process records for Change Controls, Deviations, and CAPAs within the system. You'll also pull documentation to support your regulatory filings, understanding how the QMS integrates with regulatory needs.

SharePoint (with controlled workflows) Intermediate

You'll check documents in and out, follow strict version control protocols (e.g., v0.1, v1.0), and navigate complex site structures to find source documents. It's our central hub for controlled documentation.

Cortellis / Tarius Regulatory Intelligence Basic

You'll execute simple searches for specific guidance documents or competitor approvals when given clear instructions. It's about finding the information you need, not necessarily deep analysis yet.

MS Excel (Advanced) Intermediate

You'll use VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP to cross-reference submission tracking sheets, create pivot tables for status summaries, and maintain version control on your trackers. It's your go-to for organising and summarising data.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Regulatory Pathway Selection for Routine Changes Proposes a pathway based on existing guidance, always seeks manager's approval. Independently selects the appropriate pathway for routine changes (e.g., Type IA/IB variations, annual reports) within established guidelines. Consults manager for novel or ambiguous cases. Defines and approves the regulatory pathway for moderately complex changes, including strategic considerations and risk assessments. Mentors junior staff on pathway selection.
Content Approval for Submission Documents Authors specific sections under close supervision; content is reviewed by senior staff before inclusion. Drafts and compiles full routine submission documents. Responsible for ensuring all required content is present and accurate, but final scientific/technical content approval rests with SMEs and manager. Reviews and approves regulatory documents for scientific accuracy and strategic alignment. Has authority to challenge SME input if it doesn't meet regulatory expectations.
External Communication with Health Authorities Does not communicate directly with Health Authorities; all queries are handled by senior staff. Drafts responses to routine Health Authority queries for manager review. May participate in calls with agencies under supervision. Does not initiate direct communication without approval. Leads interactions with Health Authorities for assigned submissions, including direct communication and negotiation of minor issues. Consults Director on significant issues.
Internal Process Improvement Suggestions Identifies minor inefficiencies and suggests improvements to supervisor. Proposes and, with manager approval, implements minor improvements to internal regulatory processes (e.g., document tracking, template updates). Designs and implements significant improvements to regulatory processes, often leading cross-functional initiatives. Owns process documentation.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

On-Time Submission Rate for Routine Filings
The percentage of routine regulatory submissions (like annual reports, minor variations) that are filed with the relevant Health Authority by their official deadline.
Target · 98% or higher

If you're responsible for 20 annual reports in a quarter, you'd need to submit at least 19.6 (so, all 20) on time to hit 98%.

Submission Data Entry Accuracy in RIM System
The correctness of all data points entered into our Regulatory Information Management (RIM) system (like Veeva Vault RIM) for each submission and commitment.
Target · 99.5% accuracy

For every 1,000 data fields entered across various submissions, you'd aim for no more than 5 errors. A misplaced date or wrong product code counts.

eCTD Administrative Validation Error Rate
The percentage of self-published eCTD sections or full routine submissions that fail basic administrative validation checks by the publishing software (before submission to the Health Authority).
Target · Less than 1% error rate

If you publish 10 routine submissions, you'd expect no more than one to have a minor technical validation error that needs fixing before it goes out.

Health Authority Query Response Turnaround Time (Routine)
The average time it takes to prepare and submit a response to a routine (non-critical) Health Authority question, from receipt to submission.
Target · Within 80% of the agency's clock-stop deadline

If the EMA gives us 30 days to respond to a question, you'd aim to get our answer back to them within 24 days, giving us a buffer.

Process Adherence and Documentation Quality
How consistently you follow established regulatory processes (e.g., change control, document management) and the clarity, completeness, and auditability of your documentation.
  • Evidence: Your internal audit findings are minimal or non-existent. Your submission files are always organised, easy to navigate, and contain all required source documents. Colleagues can easily pick up your work and understand the history and rationale behind decisions. You're known for maintaining meticulous records.
Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot potential regulatory issues or compliance gaps before they become major problems, especially concerning routine submissions or new guidance.
  • Evidence: You flag a potential conflict between a new internal process and an upcoming regional regulation before it's too late. You identify a missing document requirement for a specific country well in advance of the deadline, giving the team time to prepare. You're not just reacting
  • you're thinking a few steps ahead.
Effective Internal Collaboration
How well you work with internal teams (R&D, Manufacturing, Quality) to gather necessary information, clarify technical details, and keep them informed about regulatory requirements and timelines.
  • Evidence: SMEs consistently provide you with information on time because they understand your requests and trust your process. You're seen as easy to work with, even when chasing people for overdue items. You can explain complex regulatory requirements in a way that makes sense to non-regulatory colleagues.
Learning and Development Contribution
Your willingness to learn new regulations and systems, and your ability to share that knowledge, especially with new or less experienced team members.
  • Evidence: You've completed a new training module on an updated regional regulation and shared key takeaways with the team. You've successfully onboarded a new Associate, helping them understand our internal submission processes. You ask thoughtful questions that show you're digging deeper than just the surface.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Impact on Patient Access

Knowing that your meticulous work on a submission directly helps get vital medicines to patients around the world. Every document you check, every deadline you meet, contributes to someone's health.

You'll feel a real sense of accomplishment when you see a product you worked on get approved in a new market, knowing you played a direct part in that.

Mastery of Complex Processes

You enjoy diving deep into intricate regulatory guidelines, understanding the nuances of different country requirements, and becoming the go-to person for specific submission types. There's satisfaction in knowing you've truly mastered a complex system.

When you successfully navigate a tricky Type IA variation through the EMA without a single query, you'll feel that sense of mastery.

Ensuring Compliance and Integrity

You're driven by the desire to ensure everything is done 'by the book' and that the company maintains its integrity with health authorities. The idea of cutting corners makes you uncomfortable.

You're the one who will gently, but firmly, remind a colleague about the correct document version control, not because you're nit-picking, but because you understand the audit implications.

What frustrates people
  • The SME Chase: Spending 50% of your time before a deadline chasing senior scientists or engineers for their critical source documents, which they often view as a low-priority administrative task.
  • Ambiguous Agency Feedback: Receiving a vague query from a regulator and having to coordinate a team of experts to decipher what is actually being asked.
  • The 'Simple' Change: A stakeholder from Commercial or Manufacturing asking for a 'simple' product change that, in reality, triggers a complex, multi-country regulatory submission process that will take 9 months.
  • Hurry Up and Wait: The cycle of frantic, 80-hour weeks to meet a submission deadline, followed by 6 months of complete silence from the agency, making workflow planning a nightmare.
  • Garbage In, Garbage Out: Being handed a poorly written, disorganised technical report and being expected to magically transform it into a clear, concise, and persuasive regulatory narrative.
  • Last-Minute Surprises: Having a nearly-complete submission invalidated because a late-breaking stability test failed or a senior executive decided to change a piece of the marketing material at the last second.
What this role does not give you
  • Constant, direct patient interaction (your impact is indirect, through compliance).
  • A role where you 'make up the rules' (you interpret and apply them).
  • A purely scientific or laboratory-based role (this is about documentation and process).
  • A role with daily, high-level strategic decision-making (that comes at higher levels).

8Who you work with

Your reliable delivery of accurate and timely submissions is crucial. Honestly, you're preventing major headaches for the business. Without your diligence, we'd be looking at significant delays in product launches, expensive fines, or even losing market access for existing products. You keep the compliance engine running smoothly, which directly supports our commercial goals and, ultimately, patient well-being.

Inside the business
  • R&D Scientists (for technical data and justifications)
  • Manufacturing Engineers (for production process changes)
  • Quality Assurance Specialists (for compliance and documentation)
  • Product Managers (who need to know submission timelines)
  • Legal Counsel (for regulatory interpretations)
Outside the business
  • Health Authorities (e.g., EMA, MHRA, FDA, Health Canada)
  • External Consultants (for specific regional expertise)
  • Notified Bodies (for CE marking in Europe)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience in a regulatory affairs support role, or a closely related field like Quality Assurance, Document Control, or Clinical Operations, where you've handled regulated documentation.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment. We're talking about juggling 5-10 active workstreams at once.
  • Experience using a Regulatory Information Management (RIM) system or a Quality Management System (QMS) for data entry, document retrieval, and workflow management.
  • A solid understanding of Good Documentation Practices (GDP) – you've lived and breathed ALCOA+.
  • Demonstrable experience in compiling and checking complex document sets, ensuring accuracy and completeness.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Veeva Vault RIM Configuration & Reporting

As our reliance on RIM systems grows, simply using pre-configured reports won't be enough. You'll need to be able to build custom reports to answer specific business questions and even suggest minor workflow optimisations within the system.

Custom Report Building · Workflow Understanding · Object Model Navigation

  • This week: Spend an hour exploring the custom report builder in Veeva Vault RIM. See what options are available.
  • This month: Try to build one custom report that answers a question your manager frequently asks, even if it's just for practice.
  • Month 2: Ask a more senior user or system administrator to walk you through a specific workflow configuration in Veeva and explain the logic.
  • Month 3: Identify one minor process in Veeva that could be more efficient and propose a small configuration change to your manager.

Quick win: Volunteer to take on more complex data queries that require pulling information from multiple sections of Veeva. This forces you to learn the system better.

Enhanced eCTD Publishing & Validation Troubleshooting

While you start with basic publishing, you'll need to become more proficient in handling different regional requirements and troubleshooting common validation errors. This means less reliance on dedicated publishers for routine work.

Regional eCTD Specifications · DTD Validation Errors · Lifecycle Management in Publishing

  • This week: Ask the publishing team if you can shadow them for an hour during a complex submission to see how they troubleshoot.
  • This month: Take ownership of a full routine submission (e.g., an annual report) from document compilation through to the initial publishing validation step.
  • Month 2: Research common eCTD validation errors for the EU and US. Understand what they mean and how they're typically resolved.
  • Month 3: Propose a checklist for routine eCTD publishing tasks that incorporates common pitfalls and best practices.

Quick win: Offer to take on the initial validation check for all routine submissions, even if someone else does the final check. It's hands-on learning.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and conferences focused on specific regional regulatory updates (e.g., EMA updates, MHRA guidance).
  • Participating in RAPS (Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society) local chapter meetings to network and learn from peers.
  • Taking online courses on new regulatory frameworks or digital tools relevant to regulatory submissions.
  • Volunteering to take on a new type of routine submission to broaden your experience.

    • More direct, independent communication with Health Authorities on routine matters.
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, parts of regulatory affairs can be a bit of a grind. Think endless form filling, sifting through guidance documents, and tracking commitments. But what if you could offload some of that repetitive work to AI? That's exactly what we're doing here at Zavmo.

We're not just talking about theory; we're actively exploring and implementing AI tools to make your job as an International Regulatory Affairs Coordinator more efficient and frankly, more interesting. Imagine spending less time on data entry and more time on high-value analysis and strategy. Here's a glimpse of how AI could change your day-to-day:

Dossier Component Automation

AI tools can automatically populate those repetitive administrative forms (like FDA Form 356h or EU Module 1 Application Forms) by pulling structured data directly from our Veeva Vault RIM system. This cuts down on manual, error-prone data entry significantly, meaning fewer typos and faster submissions.

Global Regulatory Change Analysis

Picture an AI-powered dashboard that constantly scans global Health Authority websites and databases for new draft guidance or updated regulations. It'll flag documents relevant to our product portfolio and even provide an initial impact summary, saving you hours of manual research and ensuring we don't miss anything critical.

Historical Query Prediction

We're building an LLM to analyse our company's past 10 years of Health Authority questions and responses. For a new submission, it could predict the top 5-10 likely questions an agency might ask, allowing us to proactively prepare draft responses. This means less scrambling when a 'clock-stop' hits.

RFI Response Drafting

When a routine Health Authority query comes in, AI can search our internal knowledge base of approved documents and past responses to generate a first draft answer. This gives our technical experts a solid starting point to review and refine, rather than having to write from a blank page every time.

Common questions
