Company Overview Rhythm is a global, commercial‑stage biopharmaceutical company committed to transforming the lives of patients and their families living with rare neuroendocrine diseases. We develop medicines for previously untreatable or undertreated diseases and provide meaningful support for healthcare providers and patients and their families. We recognize the courage it takes for patients and their caregivers to begin their journey of advocacy to find the answers they need. Their courage inspires us to challenge convention, ask bold questions and seek answers for them. Every day, we strive for excellence through our willingness to adapt, learn, and our tenacity to overcome barriers, together.

Support regulatory business operations, including annual and quarterly financial planning and budget oversight, workforce and resource planning, and contracting and purchase order activities in support of portfolio and enterprise growth.
Promote continuous learning and capability building across the regulatory organization.
Partner cross‑functionally to align regulatory execution with enterprise priorities, timelines, and launch objectives.
Anticipate evolving global regulatory requirements and embed them into processes, submissions, and operating practices.
Provide senior leadership with execution updates, risk assessments, and pragmatic recommendations.
Qualifications And Skills
Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in a scientific, medical, or related field preferred.
15+ years of progressive Regulatory Affairs experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, including deep global regulatory expertise and demonstrated success leading in complex, multi‑region environments.
Proven operational leadership with urgency and discipline, including experience leading high‑performing teams, team leaders, and subject matter experts through growth, change, and increasing organizational complexity.
Demonstrated ability to build and strengthen scalable systems, processes, and operating models that improve execution, compliance, visibility, and organizational effectiveness.
Strong enterprise planning, governance, financial stewardship, and resource allocation capability, with experience leading annual and quarterly planning, budget oversight, workforce planning, and external spend management.
Demonstrated success leading regulatory execution for commercial‑stage products and development programs in the U.S. and international markets, while balancing pace, quality, compliance, and business priorities.
Strong continuous improvement mindset with pragmatic risk management and problem‑solving skills, including the ability to modernize ways of working, navigate ambiguity, and drive measurable progress.
Strong people leadership, coaching, and talent development capabilities, with a track record of building engaged, accountable, and high‑performing teams.
