This is our Regulatory Landscape newsletter for August 2024 with our monthly insights on the evolving market for Regulatory professionals.   

For the month of July, there were approximately 78 new Regulatory positions posted at smaller biopharma companies in the US. This is pretty much flat from June and up 13% from July 2023. 

67% of these new positions in July were in Clinical Regulatory Strategy and 21% were in CMC Regulatory, 2% were in Advertising, Promotions & Labeling, and 10% in Regulatory Operations.  Roughly 60% of these roles were at Director level and above. There were seven new Regulatory VP/SVP positions posted in July.  

37% of all new Regulatory roles in July were posted as Remote and 25% were Hybrid (remote/onsite). That means roughly 62% of roles for the month were either Remote or Hybrid, which is the highest we have seen to date.  46% of the July Regulatory positions were in California, 32% were in Massachusetts, and 10% were in the NJ/NY/PA area.
