Regulatory Strategy Leads, focus on NDA/MAA submissions

We are looking for 2 experienced Regulatory Strategy Leads, Senior Specialist/Director, to join Lundbeck and contribute to innovative late-stage development programs focused on bringing new treatment options to patients living with neurological disorders and significant unmet medical needs.

Your new role

In this role, you will play a key part in strengthening the alignment between global regulatory strategy and local registration requirements and you may work as EU regulatory lead or as a bridge between global regional regulatory leads in Japan/China and Lundbeck headquarter.  You will work in cross-functional and cross-regional settings to contribute to strategic oversight and ensure successful progression of one of Lundbeck’s late-stage development programs toward submissions and commercialization across major international markets.

Together with the Global Regulatory Strategy Lead you will contribute with your strategic regulatory expertise to shape innovative regulatory approaches and tactics. Your work will include supporting Health Authority interaction planning and contributing to clinical development strategies, assessing regulatory risks, and identifying mitigation opportunities. You will combine development experience with regulatory judgement to bring the regulator’s perspective into programme strategy and critically reviewing evidence packages, development plans, submission approaches, and key messages through the lens of regulatory expectations, scientific credibility, patient benefit, and benefit-risk assessment.

As part of the Regulatory Focus Team (RAFT), you will work in close partnership with the Global Regulatory Strategy Lead, regional regulatory leads in Japan and China, and the RA CMC Lead to progress development and registration activities, as well as plan registration-enabling interactions with health authorities. You will operate in a highly collaborative matrix environment with a variety of cross-functional stakeholders including clinical leads, biostatisticians, data scientists and medical writers, safety scientists and many other functions involved with global regulatory submissions and approvals.

We are looking for a calm, credible partner in complex and high-demand environments, able to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and remain structured and solution-focused in high-stakes regulatory and development discussions. You will be a confident collaborator and influencer across global matrix teams, able to work effectively across functions, cultures, geographies, and organisational levels, building alignment while constructively challenging thinking where needed. In addition to project responsibilities, you will be a contributor to the broader Global Regulatory Strategy function, actively strengthening capability through knowledge sharing, inclusive collaboration, internal improvement initiatives, and participation in department activities.

Your future team

In the Global Regulatory Strategy function (consisting of Global Regulatory Strategy Leads, Regulatory Science & Policy and RA CMC teams), we are progressing Lundbeck’s development projects and further developing strategic brands. We do that by driving innovative regulatory strategies via combining regulatory proficiency with scientific insights, patients’ focus, solid business understanding and matrix leadership. You will be part of Global Regulatory Strategy Leads team.

The position is based in Valby, Denmark. Hybrid working arrangements may be considered depending on your country of residence.

What you bring to the team

To succeed in this role, you are likely to bring:

• University credentials in life science or medical discipline; PhD degree is an advantage.
• Experience with global regulatory strategies, including hands-on health authority interactions and global new drug applications.
• Scientific and value chain understanding.
• Scientific understanding and knowledge from drug development of CNS, biologics and/or rare diseases is a clear advantage.
• Innovative mindset combined with solid matrix leadership skills and ability to influence on all levels of organization.
• Advanced communication skills in written and spoken English.
• The potential to be future Global Regulatory Strategy Lead for an early-stage development project.
