Regulatory Landscape Newsletter – November 2025

This is our Regulatory Landscape newsletter for November 2025 with our monthly insights on the evolving market for Regulatory professionals.   

It appears that Regulatory hiring is bouncing back after a very slow period. For the month of October there were 108 new Regulatory positions posted at smaller and mid-sized biopharma companies in the US. This is up 46% from September and flat from October 2024.  This is the highest number of postings we’ve seen in a single month so far this year 

47% of these new positions were in Clinical Regulatory Strategy and 21% were in CMC Regulatory, 12% in Regulatory Operations, and 19% were in Advertising, Promotions & Labeling.  This is the highest number of new Regulatory Advertising, Promotions, and Labeling roles we have ever seen since we started tracking job postings in 2020.  Roughly 60% of all October Regulatory roles were at Director level and above.  There were five new Regulatory VP/SVP positions posted in October. 

43% of the new Regulatory positions in October were listed as Onsite, 27% were posted as Remote and 30% were Hybrid (remote/onsite).  33% of the October Regulatory positions were in California, 25% were in Massachusetts, and 27% were in the NJ/NY/PA area. 

There were layoffs announced at 13 biopharma companies in October.
