Job Title: Specialist Regulatory Affairs LCM- Growth Products
Location: Andheri, Mumbai (Hybrid working)
About the Role
As ADVANZ PHARMA continues to strengthen its position as the partner of choice for specialty, hospital, and rare disease medicines, we are seeking a Specialist Regulatory Affairs – LCM Strategic Growth Products to join our Regulatory team.

- Collaborate closely with Regulatory SMEs across Biosimilars, Specialty Generics, Innovative Medicines, and Biologics to develop and execute product lifecycle strategies.
- Support Scientific Advice activities, including preparation of briefing packages, inspection readiness, and development of post-approval regulatory strategies.
- Support market expansion initiatives by leading or contributing to regulatory submissions for approved products entering new territories.
- Maintain regulatory handover documentation to ensure seamless transition of responsibilities to Established Products teams where applicable.
- Contribute to M&A regulatory activities, including due diligence and integration of acquired assets, particularly products with complex regulatory obligations.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities and supporting implementation of process enhancements.
- Act as process owner for delegated regulatory procedures and governance activities.
- Support Health Authority inspection readiness and ensure timely completion of deviations, CAPAs, and assigned compliance actions.
- Thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and take accountability for results.
- Embrace challenge and change, applying a growth mindset approach.
- Have a bias for action and fast decision-making.
- Consistent demonstration and embodiment of company core values: Entrepreneurship, Speed, and Integrity.
- Drive the spirit of “One Team” by working collaboratively across all business functions with open, honest, and respectful cooperation.
- Contribute to making ADVANZ PHARMA a desired place to work.
