Freelance Drug Safety Scientist

Freelance Drug Safety Scientist — Interim/Contract (Europe, remote)

A specialist pharmacovigilance function is seeking an experienced Drug Safety Scientist on a freelance/interim basis to strengthen day-to-day safety operations during a period of increased workload.

This is a contract engagement — immediate start, part-time (0.5 FTE), remote across Europe.

What the role involves:

• End-to-end ICSR processing: case intake, data entry, coding (MedDRA), narrative writing and quality review
• Contributing to aggregate reports (DSURs, PSURs/PBRERs) and signal-management activities
• Maintaining compliance with EU GVP and reporting timelines
• Working within safety databases (Argus, ARISg or equivalent) alongside internal and vendor teams

What we're looking for:

• Life-sciences or pharmacy background with solid drug safety/PV experience in pharma, biotech or CRO
• Hands-on case-processing capability and familiarity with a major safety database
• Working knowledge of MedDRA coding and EU pharmacovigilance requirements
• Available immediately and able to integrate quickly into an established team

If you're a Drug Safety Scientist open to freelance work — or can point me to someone who is — I'd welcome a confidential chat. Rates to be discussed and can be flexible. Candidates from Europe ONLY.
