libraries), helping compile and maintain information used for external
reporting, assisting with tracking of selected regulatory/standards updates, and
contributing to supervised exploratory improvement initiatives (including

compiling, and entering information for external reporting needs (e.g., WMDA and
other agency-related requests) as directed; update internal trackers, reference
logs, and status reports; and help prepare materials for internal review of
submissions.
• Regulatory/standards monitoring support: Assist with monitoring updates
from selected regulatory and standards organizations as assigned; help log and
track relevant changes using team templates/tools; and draft brief internal
summaries of key updates for team review.
• Exploratory improvement initiatives (supervised): Support supervised pilot
activities that evaluate new tools, templates, or process improvements (which
may include AI-assisted approaches).
• General team support & learning: Provide general team and operational
support as assigned; attend team meetings, training sessions, and learning
activities.
• Regulatory insights: Gain hands-on experience with regulatory requirements
relevant to innovative therapies (e.g., cell and gene therapies) and applicable
U.S. FDA regulations/guidance (e.g., 21 CFR 1271, 21 CFR 211, 21 CFR 312), as
applicable to assigned work.
• Cross-functional support: Provide support to the Regulatory Affairs team
for additional activities as needed, such as helping prepare for regulatory
meetings and assisting with activity tracking and status updates.
• Knowledge sharing & communication: Summarize key learnings, insights, and
recommendations from assigned work and share for broader internal audiences as
appropriate.
• Other duties as assigned.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
