Cosmetics and drugs must meet strict requirements to obtain approval for market launch. In this context, regulatory affairs managers are responsible for the entire process – from the product development phase until the final introduction. They act as interfaces between companies and regulatory authorities.
In the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, regulatory affairs managers are essential to bring new products into markets. Thus, regulatory affairs managers are experts highly in demand, especially in Life Sciences and in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt or Munich.
By making an important contribution to the development, production and licensing of products and ensuring their compliance with the requirements of regulatory authorities, regulatory affairs managers promote chemical and pharmaceutical innovations. Furthermore, they prepare comprehensive documentations of products, including product information for packaging and package inserts, required for the approval for market entry by the authorities.
Regulatory affairs managers are important in marketing as well since they ensure the appropriate advertising of cosmetics, drugs and chemical products. Last but not least, they are the point of contact for authorities and the press in critical situations, e.g. in case of unforeseen adverse reactions.
Regulatory affairs managers must have an academic degree in medicine, pharmacy, biochemistry or a similar science. Besides, they must have relevant industry experience, knowledge of medical law and good English skills. As the legal regulations and requirements are continuously changing and evolving, regulatory affairs managers must regularly improve their knowledge to always be up-to-date.
Strong management and negotiation skills, assertiveness and the ability to work under pressure are required to communicate with internal teams, authorities and the press and to successfully handle critical situations.
Depending on their experience, qualification and level of responsibility, regulatory affairs managers holding a leading position at a German or international company have a very good annual salary, earning between EUR 45,000 and almost EUR 90,000.
