Overview

Clinigen is a rapidly growing global specialty pharmaceutical services business with a unique combination of services across the pharmaceutical lifecycle. We currently have over 1,000 employees headquartered in the UK with global offices in the US, EU (Belgium, Germany, France), Asia Pacific and South Africa. Clinigen is growing rapidly and is positioned well for an exciting future of continued expansion.


To support our growth, we are seeking a dynamic, detail orientated and collaborative Regulatory Affairs Manager. In this role, you will be responsible for leading and coordinating regulatory strategy, submissions and compliance activities across multiple regions. You will ensure that products meet the regulatory requirements and maintains compliance throughout the product lifecycle. You will act as a key liaison between internal teams, regulatory authorities and external partners.


This is a dedicated Regulatory Affairs Manager role supporting Colonis, a Clinigen Group company. You will sit within the wider Regulatory Affairs team and will work very closely with the Regulatory Affairs Director for Colonis.


You will also collaborate closely with Colonis commercial teams, working hand-in-hand as commercial agreements are established with partners and alongside Supply Chain and Quality functions. The role involves broad interaction across the Colonis organisation, attendance at regular cross-functional meetings and ongoing reporting on regulatory activities.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement regulatory strategies for product registration and maintenance in international markets. Prepare, review, and submit regulatory documents to health authorities across multiple regions (e.g. LATAM, MENA)
  • Provide responses to regulatory authority queries and ensure timely approvals.
  • Oversee product labelling, packaging, and promotional material compliance with local regulations.
  • Conduct regulatory reviews and provide due diligence report.
  • Identify and mitigate regulatory risks impacting product launches or market continuity.
  • Act as the primary contact with regulatory agencies, distributors, and consultants in international markets.
  • Interact with Quality, Supply Chain, Commercial and Project teams to align regulatory requirements with business objectives.
  • Submit variations, renewals and PSUR’s for existing products.

While the role is not primarily client-facing, you will engage directly with regulatory authorities, including participation in agency meetings. The role requires someone with hands-on experience managing regulatory submissions in MENA markets independently, without relying solely on partner support.


You will be comfortable working with incomplete or evolving information, have submitted in these regions' multiple times, and understand regulatory expectations well enough to anticipate agency questions, reducing reactive firefighting and improving submission efficiency.


Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree (or preferably higher degree) in Life Sciences or scientific discipline

  • Proven ability to successfully manage regulatory submissions
  • Strong operational regulatory background required
  • Experience within a service provider environment is desirable but not essential
  • Excellent organisational and project management skills
  • Outstanding written, verbal and interpersonal communications skills
  • Excellent ability to handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced and constantly changing environment

Benefits

  • 27 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Discretionary Bonus Scheme
  • Pension contributions 4.5% matched
  • Life assurance 4 x annual salary
  • Flexible Benefits Platform with £25/month Company contribution
  • Annual salary review
  • Independent financial advice service

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.

Medical Technology Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into medical technology (medtech) in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re exploring an exciting and meaningful field. Medtech companies in the UK design, develop and support devices, software and systems that improve patient care, diagnostics, treatment and healthcare outcomes. From imaging systems to wearable tech, from digital health platforms to surgical instruments — medtech is a rich ecosystem with many career pathways. But the field is often seen as exclusive to engineers or scientists with decades of specialised training. That myth can put off experienced professionals with valuable transferable skills. This article cuts through the hype and gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on roles that exist, the skills employers actually want, how to retrain realistically, whether age really matters and how to position your experience for success.
