Regulatory Affairs Specialist CIS - Russian Speaking

Regulatory Affairs Specialist CIS - Russian Speaking

Your Russian opens the border. The scientist in you gets the medicine across. At Interchemie, you register veterinary medicines in the CIS countries, where a registration moves faster with someone who speaks the language. You learn the profession step by step, in a team that welcomes you and challenges you.

You work in pharma: in the lab, in QA, in QC or in a pharmacy. You speak Russian. Ready for the next step? Read on.

Your challenge

This is your moment to step into regulatory affairs. You want to use your scientific background for more than repeating the same procedures.

Here, your Russian opens the border. In several CIS countries customers do not speak English. With you, a registration moves much faster, because you can handle it in Russian, even over WhatsApp. That makes you valuable from day one.

And the scientist in you gets the medicine across. You learn how a formulation works, which animals a product is for and how a withdrawal period is set. You see the full lifecycle, from production and quality control to registration and sales. As Anton, Regulatory Affairs Specialist, puts it: "You will never know enough. There is always something that you need to figure out."

You step in at a moment that matters. We are moving our registrations to a new manufacturing site, and the CIS countries keep raising their requirements. Sometimes a new rule appears after a label has been approved, while the order is already waiting at customs. Sales cannot sell and operations cannot produce until you have done your part. You are the backbone that keeps products moving.

And you build a career in a scarce profession. Learn regulatory affairs here and your expertise is in demand wherever medicines are made.

You start with a few days of training in our systems, then small tasks in one country with a mentor, and build up to the full dossier.

Main responsibilities

Registration means making sure a veterinary medicine may legally be sold in a country. You translate scientific product information into a dossier that meets the requirements of that country.

• Your own CIS countries. You are responsible for the registrations in your countries. You start with one country, learn it step by step with a mentor, and grow to two or three.
• Planning ahead. Registrations have to be renewed. You track what is coming up per country and plan renewals on time. Outside the EU that means six to nine months ahead.
• New registrations. You compile and submit dossiers for products that sales wants to bring to your markets.
• Site transfer. You transfer the registrations in your countries to our new manufacturing site. In most CIS countries, this means compiling a complete dossier.
• Daily questions. You answer questions from sales, operations, customers and agents, often in Russian.
• Changing rules. Requirements change per country. You follow up, agree with agents on how to proceed and keep your dossiers in line.
• Working across the company. You work with QA, QC, logistics, marketing and sales, so products can be registered, released and shipped.

About Interchemie

Interchemie develops, produces and distributes veterinary medicines, nutritionals and disinfectants. Founded in 1979, we now bring more than 100 products to over 120 countries from our headquarters in Waalre. Everything we make is produced under GMP and GMP+.

In 2025 Interchemie, Kepro, Alfasan and Pharmapark joined forces into one group under the Interchemie name. Since then we have been investing in compliance, safety, quality and growth. Pharmapark in Tallinn is the newest and largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in Estonia. For Regulatory Affairs, that means a growing workload and a new manufacturing site.

We are an international and multicultural organisation, with colleagues from many different backgrounds. Lines are short and responsibilities are clear.

The Regulatory Affairs team works in English, on site in Waalre, together with remote colleagues who help prepare the dossiers. You meet weekly and work closely with QA, sales, marketing and IT. Decisions are made fast: when something needs to happen, we act. When one country becomes urgent, the team works on it together. And the door of the RA Manager is open when you want to think something through.

You join the CIS team of three, with team leads in the Netherlands and Ukraine. AI is already part of the daily work, for translations and pharmacovigilance. Hetika, our RA Manager, has worked here for fifteen years and says her job has never been the same.

We offer

• Your own CIS countries. You own the registrations in your countries, growing from one to two or three.
• A salary between €3,784 and €5,297 gross per month, depending on your experience.
• 25 vacation days and 8.25% holiday allowance.
• A pension scheme with an employer contribution that grows with your age, up to 26%.
• Travel allowance of €0.23 per km, from the first kilometre.
• A field where you keep learning. The medicine itself, the full product lifecycle and rules that keep changing.
• A structured start. Training in our systems, then step by step into your first country with a mentor.
• A scarce profession. Expertise in regulatory affairs is in demand wherever medicines are made.
• English as working language. Dutch is not required.
• A position on site in Waalre, preferably full-time.

We ask

• Very good Russian (Russian or Ukrainian background) and fluent English.
• A Master's degree in life sciences, chemistry or pharmacy.
• Two to three years of experience in a pharmaceutical environment such as a lab, QA, QC or a pharmacy, so you know how pharmaceutical production works. Experience in Regulatory Affairs is a plus. Medical devices experience does not fit this role.
• You take responsibility without being asked and want to understand why a requirement exists.
• You are precise and patient. Some registrations take years.
• You choose Regulatory Affairs as your field and want to grow in it.
• You live within one hour of Waalre, or are prepared to move closer.
