Brief team/department description:

The Medical Affairs Group at Azurity is hiring a highly motivated Drug Safety Physician to join the team. This role serves as the internal medical authority for Pharmacovigilance (PV) oversight at the sponsor level. While operational PV activities and medical case review are performed by an external safety vendor, this position ensures the company retains medical accountability and governance over all safety decisions.

• Provide medical governance oversight of vendor-performed medical case assessments and safety decisions
• Review and provide medical input for complex, serious, and medically significant ICSRs
• Provide medical review and oversight of signal detection and evaluation activities
• Provide medical input and oversight for aggregate reports (PBRER, PSUR, DSUR)
• Oversee medical review of literature surveillance conducted by vendor
• Ensure appropriate benefit-risk evaluation across products
• Participate in vendor governance meetings and review medical KPIs and trends
• Serve as medical safety representative during audits and regulatory inspections
• Provide medical training and guidance to internal PV staff as needed
• Ensure sponsor retains medical accountability for PV decisions

Qualifications and Education Requirements

• MD or equivalent medical degree required
• 7+ years of experience in Pharmacovigilance or Drug Safety
• Experience with signal management and aggregate reporting
• Experience working in outsourced PV models strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of global PV regulations (FDA, EMA, MHRA)
• Inspection and audit experience required
• Ability to provide high-level medical judgment and governance oversight
