This fractional consultant role serves as a strategic partner to Global Regulatory Affairs, Technical Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and Development teams, ensuring CMC strategies are regulator-ready, risk-based, and aligned with overall program and corporate objectives. The role emphasizes strategic guidance, regulatory judgment, and senior advisory leadership, rather than day-to-day execution.

- Provide strategic regulatory guidance on:
  - Process and analytical development
  - Control strategies
  - Manufacturing changes and comparability
  - Supply chain considerations
- Identify and communicate CMC-related regulatory risks, and advise on proactive mitigation strategies.
- Advise on de-risking CMC development strategies, assessing change controls and evaluate opportunities to accelerate development
- Collaborate cross functionally to assess the impact of proposed CMC changes and ensure applicable CMC changes are reported to health authorities in accordance with regulatory requirements
- Monitor and interpret global CMC regulatory requirements and emerging trends (US, EU, UK, APAC, Latin America), advising leadership on potential impact to development and registration strategy
- Serve as strategic CMC regulatory advisor for Health Authority interactions.
  - Lead or advise on:
    - CMC meeting strategy
    - Briefing materials
    - Regulatory positioning and messaging
- Provide strategic review of CMC sections for regulatory submissions as needed, including:
  - INDs / CTAs
  - CMC amendments and annual reports
- Serve as the regulatory representative at internal CMC team meetings
- Ensure regulatory CMC strategy remains aligned across functions and escalates issues that may impact development timelines or compliance.

**Qualifications:**

- Advanced degree (PhD, PharmD, or equivalent) in Chemistry, Pharmacy, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.
- 10+ years of Regulatory Affairs experience with significant focus on Regulatory CMC.
- Demonstrated senior-level experience developing global Regulatory CMC strategies for small molecule programs.
- Oncology and/or immunology therapeutic area experience is strongly preferred.
- Strong experience supporting early clinical development (IND/CTA) and lifecycle planning.
- Prior experience advising or leading CMC-related Health Authority interactions.
- Deep understanding of global CMC regulatory expectations (FDA, EMA, MHRA, ICH).
- Strong knowledge of small molecule CMC development, including solid dosage forms.
- Experience applying regulatory requirements pragmatically and phase-appropriately.
- Proven ability to operate as a senior strategic advisor in a consulting or fractional capacity.
