Senior Director / Executive Director Medical Writing

Medicine moves forward here. So will you.

At PrimeVigilance, patient safety is not one part of the job. It is why we exist.

We are a global pharmacovigilance specialist. Our teams help clients navigate complex regulations while keeping patient safety at the center of every decision, from early development through to post-marketing surveillance. Increasingly, the value we create is not only in processing safety data but in interpreting it: spotting the signal that matters early and turning it into insight our clients can act on.

That work takes curious minds, problem-solvers and experts who care about getting it right. It also takes a culture worth staying for. Across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Australia, we work in an environment built on kindness, flexibility, growth and belonging, where colleagues support one another and good ideas are heard wherever they come from.

If you want a role with real purpose, global reach and the chance to keep growing while you help protect patients, you will feel at home here. We would love to hear from you.
