Group Manager for the Signal Group in Pharmaceutical Safety

At the Medical Products Agency, we make a difference together. In life and for life. We work for the health of people and animals, for a better Sweden today and in the future. Do you have a strong interest and commitment to issues concerning safe medicines and want to contribute to this important mission? The Pharmaceutical Safety unit at the Medical Products Agency is seeking a group manager for the signal group. Our Operations The Pharmaceutical Safety unit is part of the Use Business Area and has a central responsibility for safety monitoring of human medicines. We handle reported suspected adverse events and conduct signal detection to identify new safety risks early. The unit processes large amounts of information about suspected adverse events from both Sweden and the rest of Europe. Our mission is to contribute to safe and appropriate medicine use by quickly absorbing and implementing new knowledge. The work involves extensive contacts with other units at the Medical Products Agency, healthcare, authorities, and companies, both nationally and internationally. Our operations are based on a preparedness perspective with stable working methods in both normal circumstances and during crisis and war. The importance of this became particularly clear during the Covid-19 pandemic, when the volume of adverse event reports increased significantly and the unit bore major responsibility in vaccine monitoring. In recent years, we have invested considerable effort in further developing our working methods to more effectively contribute to the Medical Products Agency's important mission. Now we are looking for you to join us and continue this development journey together with our managers and colleagues. Your Tasks As group manager, you are responsible for the signal group, one of the unit's three groups, and lead the group's work according to established routines and processes. You have personnel responsibility for the team members and monitor the group's activities, output, and collaborations with regular check-ins with both employees and the unit manager. The signal group has several important internal and external contact points, and you are responsible for ensuring these relationships function well, develop, and are strengthened as needed. Together with the managers of the adverse event groups, you work to ensure harmonized working methods across all three groups, both in regular operations and when implementing new routines. As a leader at the Medical Products Agency, you are expected to be a clear representative of our leadership philosophy based on holistic perspective, courage, commitment, and goal focus. You participate in the unit's management group and actively engage in strategic work and the unit's long-term improvement initiatives. Your Background You have completed academic education in clinical pharmacology, nursing, pharmacy, or other medical or natural science education that the employer deems equivalent. We are looking for someone with strong leadership qualities and many years of documented management experience. You have good computer skills. It is meritorious if you have worked with suspected adverse events or have otherwise gained experience in pharmaceutical safety monitoring. You express yourself well in speech and writing in both Swedish and English and are accustomed to presenting in various settings, both in internal meetings and at conferences, for example. Your Personal Qualities You lead with commitment, courage, and curiosity and enjoy developing both operations and people. You make well-founded decisions, prioritize with sound judgment, and delegate in a way that builds trust. You build relationships, dialogue, and team spirit and create engagement both within the group and in a broader context. Transparency is an important part of your working style and you view mistakes as a natural part of learning and find it easy to ask when you don't know. You have the ability to lead through change, develop work, and strengthen team competence. You have a genuine interest in leadership and create a work environment where both people and processes reach their full potential. We place great importance on personal qualities.
