Director of Pharmacovigilance (US)

About ITM

ITM is a privately owned biotechnology and radiopharmaceutical group of companies dedicated to the development, production and global supply of targeted diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and radioisotopes for use in cancer treatment. We are developing a proprietary portfolio and growing pipeline of targeted treatments in various stages of clinical development addressing cancers such as neuroendocrine cancers or bone metastases. Our main objectives are to significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients through a new generation of Targeted Radionuclide Therapies in Precision Oncology. The headquarters are located in the heart of the research center of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

In the United States, ITM is expanding to support our growing portfolio and pipeline. We are building a high-performing commercial team to bring innovative radiopharmaceutical therapies to patients and strengthen our presence in oncology.

We are seeking a highly experienced Director / Head of Pharmacovigilance (US) to establish and lead our US PV presence within a globally integrated, EU‑headquartered pharmacovigilance organization.

This role is critical in ensuring that US regulatory requirements are effectively implemented within a globally led PV system, without creating a standalone or siloed US function. The successful candidate will act as a key bridge between the US and EU headquarters, ensuring alignment, consistency, and compliance across regions.

During the initial 12–24 months, this role requires a hands-on leader who can both build the function and contribute operationally, in close collaboration with the Global PV/QPPV Office.

We would like to fill the following permanent vacancy in a hybrid working model in Princeton as soon as possible

Your role

Global Integration & Governance

• Operate within a globally centralized PV framework led from EU headquarters, ensuring US alignment with global strategy, processes, and governance
• Act as the primary US interface to global PV leadership and QPPV Office, promoting a “one PV organization” mindset
• Ensure US requirements are integrated into global activities without duplication or regional divergence
  
  

US PV Implementation

• Establish and maintain a compliant, inspection-ready US PV set-up, aligned with global systems and adapted to FDA requiements
• Ensure appropriate execution of US-specific PV obligations, acting as the accountable local representative within the global model
• Serve as the primary PV contact for FDA, supporting inspections and regulatory interactions
  
  

Operational Contribution (Globally Led Model)

• Work within a structure where core PV activities (case processing, signal detection, aggregate reporting) are led by EU/global teams
• Maintain strong oversight and awareness of global activities, ensuring US regulatory nuances and timelines are appropriately addressed
• Contribute to global processes through US regulatory expertise, including input into case handling, reporting requirements, and signal evaluation
• Execute locally required PV tasks (e.g., US-specific submissions, local regulatory commitments, REMS/RMP components where applicable, local vendor management and oversight)
  
  

Hands-On Leadership (Build Phase)

• Operate with a hands-on approach during the first 12–24 months, directly supporting key PV activities as needed
• Collaborate closely with EU/global teams to implement processes, address gaps, and ensure operational continuity
• Gradually transition toward a strategic oversight role as the US function and team mature
  
  

Team Building & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Build and develop a lean, high-performing US PV team, fully integrated into the global organization
• Partner with stakeholders across Clinical, Regulatory, Medical Affairs, and Quality in both US and EU
• Actively contribute to global PV initiatives and continuous improvement efforts
  
  

Your profile

• Advanced degree in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, or Medicine (PharmD/MD/PhD preferred)
• 10 years in Pharmacovigilance, including senior leadership experience
• Strong expertise in FDA PV requirements, with solid knowledge of EMA/ICH
• Proven experience in global/matrix environments, with close collaboration with EU headquarters
• Demonstrated ability to build or scale PV capabilities in biotech settings
• Experience with regulatory inspections and authority interactions (FDA)
• Strong global mindset—you prioritize alignment over regional autonomy
• Ability to lead hands-on while building for scale
• Skilled in influencing across regions and functions
• Comfortable operating within centrally governed, globally distributed models
  
  

Our offer

• Competitive base salary.
• Comprehensive health benefits, including a medical plan with no employee premium and 100% company-paid dental and vision coverage.
• Annual bonus opportunity.
