  • Vendor oversight and governance: Establish vendor oversight frameworks, communication pathways, performance expectations, and escalation processes, and monitor vendor compliance, quality metrics, deviations, CAPAs, and audit outcomes against regulatory and contractual requirements.

  • Compliance and inspection readiness: Oversee programme-level PV compliance, systems, agreements, documentation, and traceability, identify and mitigate safety, process, and quality risks, and support inspection readiness and regulatory authority interactions.

  • Safety reporting management: Define country- and programme-specific strategies for individual and aggregate reporting, and oversee the preparation, review, and submission of aggregate and periodic reports, line listings, and safety summaries.

  • Operational governance: Provide strategic oversight of programme implementation and ongoing safety management, and develop Safety Management Plans, Pharmacovigilance Agreements, and scalable governance, quality, and procedural frameworks.
