Job Description

Job Title:
Drug Safety Consultant Location:
Cambridge, Massachusetts (Hybrid)
Job Summary:
We are partnering with a global life sciences organization seeking a Drug Safety Consultant to support aggregate safety reporting across a broad portfolio of pharmacovigilance activities. Our team is looking for a strong scientific writer who can author, review, and manage high-quality aggregate reports while collaborating with global stakeholders and vendors.
Responsibilities:
Author, review, and support aggregate safety reports, including PSURs, PBRERs, DSURs, PADERs, and other local or developmental/post-marketing reports. Manage report timelines, coordinate stakeholder input, and help maintain the annual global aggregate reporting schedule. Interpret medical and scientific data from large datasets and convert findings into clear, concise narrative content and regulatory documentation. Collaborate with internal teams, external vendors, and document management partners to support report quality, template maintenance, and process improvements.
Required:
Strong hands-on authoring experience is required; candidates with only QC, compilation, input, or review support without significant writing ownership will not be a fit. Direct experience authoring aggregate safety reports is strongly preferred, including PSUR/PBRER, DSUR, or other developmental/post-marketing safety reports. Experience with scientific or regulatory writing in a pharmaceutical, PV, or related safety environment is required; clinical study report authoring, signal report writing, or similar medical writing experience may also be considered if it demonstrates substantial authoring ownership. Minimum of 5 years of pharmacovigilance experience is preferred, with around 4 years considered only for exceptionally strong candidates; strong Microsoft Excel and Word skills are required, including pivot tables and advanced document editing/formatting.
