  • Maintain the master PRC review schedule to provide visibility into active submissions, upcoming reviews, approval needs, bottlenecks, and launch-critical priorities across business functions.
  • Ensure consistent application of PRC policies and review standards across materials and teams while enabling appropriate flexibility for risk-based review.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Facilitation
  • Partner with senior stakeholders across Medical Affairs, Legal, Regulatory, Compliance, Marketing, Commercial, and Agency partners to align expectations, timelines, and review readiness.
  • Plan, facilitate, and document PRC review meetings (live or asynchronous), ensuring clear decisions, ownership, and follow-up actions.
  • Proactively identify bottlenecks and risks (e.g., incomplete submissions, major claim changes, labeling updates), surface trade-offs, and drive resolution with a customer-service mindset.

Governance, Compliance & Audit Readiness
  • Work with leadership to maintain PRC governance, including RACI, escalation pathways, submission standards, meeting cadence, and documentation requirements.
  • Manage tracking of FDA submissions, OPDP correspondence, advisory comments, approval records, version histories, and related compliance documentation in partnership with Regulatory, Legal, Medical, and Compliance stakeholders.
  • Monitor adherence to policies and SLAs; prepare metrics and documentation to support internal audits, compliance reviews, and regulatory inspections as needed.

Tools, Metrics & Continuous Improvement

  • Drive adoption and effective use of PRC technology (e.g., Veeva PromoMats, Vodori, or equivalent) including workflows, user support, taxonomy/metadata, and reporting.
  • Track and report cycle time, throughput, right-first-time submissions, and rework drivers; lead continuous improvement initiatives to reduce friction while maintaining compliance and quality.

Content Lifecycle, Claims & Labeling Alignment
  • Coordinate with Medical/Regulatory/Legal to ensure promotional claims remain consistent with the current label, clinical data, and guidance, and that required references/substantiation are available and traceable.
  • Support content lifecycle management (creation, review, approval, expiration/withdrawal, and periodic re-review) and ensure impacted materials are assessed following labeling updates or safety changes.
  • Enable launch and field readiness by partnering with Commercial/Training teams to align review timelines with deployment, distribution, and communication plans.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Business, Marketing, Communications, Healthcare Administration, or a related field.

  • Strong understanding of promotional regulations and guidance and common expectations for claims substantiation, fair balance, and use of references (in partnership with functional experts).
  • Hands-on experience with PRC systems (e.g., Vodori, Veeva PromoMats, Aprimo, or equivalent) and comfort producing metrics, dashboards, and operational reporting.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional leaders and drive alignment in high-volume, deadline-driven environments.
  • Experience supporting promotional review platforms and content repositories such as Veeva PromoMats, Vodori, Zotero, SharePoint, Teams, or similar systems, including workflow support, user access coordination, version control, reference management, and audit-ready documentation.
