Deputy QPPV
At Oresund Pharma, we are building a pharmaceutical business where pragmatism, accountability, and quality matter. We operate in a scale-up environment with ambitious growth plans across Europe, and maintaining a robust pharmacovigilance system is essential to supporting both our patients and our business.
We are now looking for an experienced Deputy QPPV to support and strengthen our pharmacovigilance activities. This is a broad role that combines strategic oversight with hands-on pharmacovigilance operations, offering exposure to the full PV system and the opportunity to influence how we continue to develop our safety processes.
You will work closely with our QPPV as well as external partners and service providers, helping ensure that our pharmacovigilance system remains compliant, effective, and inspection-ready.
Why this role
The title describes part of the role, but not all of it.
While you will act as Deputy QPPV and support the QPPV in maintaining oversight of our pharmacovigilance system, this is also a highly operational position. We are looking for someone who enjoys being close to the cases, processes, systems, and regulatory requirements that keep a pharmacovigilance system running effectively.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work across the full spectrum of pharmacovigilance activities while building broader responsibility within a growing pharmaceutical company.
