Job Description

Regulatory Affairs Specialist CIS - Russian Speaking Your Russian opens the border. The scientist in you gets the medicine across. At Interchemie, you register veterinary medicines in the CIS countries, where a registration moves faster with someone who speaks the language.

Read on. Your challenge This is your moment to step into regulatory affairs. You want to use your scientific background for more than repeating the same procedures. Here, your Russian opens the border. In several CIS countries customers do not speak English. With you, a registration moves much faster, because you can handle it in Russian, even over WhatsApp. That makes you valuable from day one. And the scientist in you gets the medicine across. You learn how a formulation works, which animals a product is for and how a withdrawal period is set. You see the full lifecycle, from production and quality control to registration and sales. As Anton, Regulatory Affairs Specialist, puts it: "You will never know enough. There is always something that you need to figure out." You step in at a moment that matters. We are moving our registrations to a new manufacturing site, and the CIS countries keep raising their requirements. Sometimes a new rule appears after a label has been approved, while the order is already waiting at customs. Sales cannot sell and operations cannot produce until you have done your part. You are the backbone that keeps products moving. And you build a career in a scarce profession. Learn regulatory affairs here and your expertise is in demand wherever medicines are made. You start with a few days of training in our systems, then small tasks in one country with a mentor, and build up to the full dossier. Main responsibilities Registration means making sure a veterinary medicine may legally be sold in a country.

In most CIS countries, this means compiling a complete dossier. Daily questions. You answer questions from sales, operations, customers and agents, often in Russian. Changing rules.

You work with QA, QC, logistics, marketing and sales, so products can be registered, released and shipped.
