Core areas
​
• Heads of Drug Safety / VP Pharmacovigilance – We have worked with numerous Chief Medical Officers & Heads of R&D to hire replacement or “first in post” department leads. Biotech companies come to us when they need to build or expand their PV capability inhouse
​
• Safety Science / Risk Management – Our busiest area. Winter Oak Talent routinely run searches for both MDs and Scientists.
o Safety MDs – We are regularly running searches for experienced PV Physicians (Medical / Senior Medical Directors). This includes specific client needs for US Trained or Board-Certified Physicians. These candidates typically have experience in Submissions/BLA filing activities.
o Safety Scientists - Closely aligned to the above is our extensive network and search knowledge of Safety Scientists (Senior Manager through to Executive Director level). These candidates typically have experience in DSURs/PBRERs and Surveillance activities.
• Drug Safety Operations – We have worked with both big pharma and smaller biotech clients to find top talent in PV Ops. These candidates have experience in ICSR / Vendor Management, as well as a track record of creating and developing SOPs. Candidates in this space typically have database experience.
• Pharmacovigilance Compliance/Quality – We have run searches at all levels in this space. Candidates typically have experience in PV CAPAs, audit inspection readiness activities and PV Training.
