Regulatory affairs is a critical function in any product-developing life science company, and experienced RA talent is consistently in demand. Barrington James has a dedicated regulatory affairs practice, placing professionals from Regulatory Associate level through to VP of Global Regulatory Affairs across pharma, biotech, medical device, and CRO organisations.

Regulatory affairs roles include Regulatory Associates, RA Managers, Regulatory Scientists, Regulatory Affairs Directors, Global Regulatory Leads, and Regulatory Policy Specialists. Barrington James places across all of these levels and across multiple regulatory agency jurisdictions, including EMA, FDA, MHRA, and PMDA.

Regulatory affairs candidates can specialise in CMC, clinical, labelling, advertising and promotion, or policy — and many roles require a specific regulatory pathway background. Barrington James's consultants map candidates by their RA specialism, ensuring a precise fit between candidate expertise and your regulatory programme needs.

Regulatory submissions — particularly NDA, MAA, or BLA filings — often require additional resource for defined periods. Barrington James provides contract regulatory affairs recruitment, with access to experienced RA professionals available on an interim basis for submission support and project resourcing.

Senior regulatory affairs leaders who have navigated complex global submissions — particularly in multiple regions simultaneously — are rare and highly sought after. Barrington James conducts targeted search campaigns for head of regulatory and VP-level appointments, engaging senior RA professionals both on and off the market.
