Hub Submission Manager

Next Phase Recruitment Limited

The Opportunity - based in Tadworth, UK, on-site full time

This is a high-impact, globally facing role at the centre of regulatory operations. You’ll be responsible for driving the delivery of complex regulatory submissions across multiple markets, playing a key part in bringing products to market and maintaining global compliance.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy coordinating across international teams, and want real ownership in submission delivery, this is a standout opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end delivery of regulatory submissions for assigned products, covering both initial applications and lifecycle activities
  • Lead the coordination of cross-functional teams to ensure submissions are delivered on time, to quality, and in line with regulatory expectations
  • Manage all operational aspects of submissions including planning, document flow, translation strategy, technical build, and final delivery to Health Authorities
  • Act as the central interface between global project teams and regional/country stakeholders, aligning on timelines, requirements, and compliance standards
  • Ensure all submission activities adhere to global regulatory frameworks, internal processes, and quality standards
  • Identify and drive opportunities to improve efficiency, including dossier re-use, process optimisation, and global standardisation
  • Escalate and resolve risks that may impact submission timelines or quality

At Manager level, you will also:

  • Lead more complex, multi-market submissions and process improvement initiatives
  • Interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into operational delivery plans
  • Influence and guide stakeholders across functions in a matrix environment
  • Forecast and manage resources across multiple concurrent projects
  • Act as a technical expert for submission processes and systems

At Senior Manager level, you will additionally:

  • Drive strategic improvements across submission delivery and regulatory operations
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives focused on innovation, efficiency, and scalability
  • Represent the organisation in external regulatory or industry discussions
  • Contribute to policy, process, and capability development across the function
  • Mentor and develop team members, acting as a senior technical authority

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High visibility role with direct impact on global product submissions and approvals
  • Exposure to multiple regions, regulatory frameworks, and product portfolios
  • Clear progression from operational delivery into leadership and strategy
  • Opportunity to shape how submissions are executed, scaled, and optimised globally
  • Collaborative, international environment with strong cross-functional engagement
