• Transparency and reporting (e.g., Sunshine Act / Open Payments)
• Patient support, access, and hub-related activities
• Commercial contracting, transfers of value, and third-party oversight
• Serve as a standing MLR member, providing regulatory, legal, and compliance review of promotional materials.
• Ensure alignment with FDA regulations, OPDP guidance, and company standards.
• Partner with Commercial and Medical teams to enable efficient, compliant review and messaging.
• Define MLR processes, timelines, precedents, and escalation pathways.
• Train internal stakeholders on promotional compliance, scientific exchange, and appropriate data use.
• Advise on compliant use of clinical, safety, and real-world data across promotional and non-promotional channels.
• Conduct launch-focused compliance risk assessments and implement monitoring activities.
• Support investigation and remediation of commercial compliance issues in partnership with Legal and HR.

Qualifications and Key Success Factors

• Bachelor’s degree; advanced degree preferred (JD, PharmD, MD, PhD, or MPH)
• 5+ years of experience in commercial compliance, legal, regulatory, or promotional review within biopharma - CNS, neurology, or rare disease experience preferred.

• Hands-on participation in MLR/Promotional Review Committees.
• Strong knowledge of FDA advertising and promotion regulations, OPDP guidance, and corporate compliance principles for commercial operations.
• The physical and mental requirements of our roles include but are not limited to regular use of a computer, devices or other office equipment, clear communication, and occasional movement. You'll need comfort with screen work, basic hand coordination, and focus. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.
