Business analyst – regulatory affairs / rim

Is this you

Are you a Regulatory Affairs Business Analyst who understands how to translate business needs into clear requirements, process flows, and system-ready documentation? This role is a great fit for someone who brings deep regulatory experience and enjoys working with stakeholders to support the successful deployment of a Regulatory Information Management system.

About the role

The Business Analyst – Regulatory Affairs / RIM role is focused on supporting the business-side deployment of a Regulatory Information Management system. This role sits at the intersection of Regulatory Affairs, business process, stakeholder collaboration, and system implementation support. As Business Analyst – Regulatory Affairs / RIM, you will help gather and organize requirements, create and update process flows, support stakeholder conversations, and document business needs for a RIM system deployment. This role is not focused on compiling regulatory submissions to the FDA or any other agency; it is focused on helping business and technology teams understand regulatory processes, requirements, and documentation needs that support a successful RIM implementation.

What You'll Work On

As Business Analyst – Regulatory Affairs / RIM, you will:

• Lead or support the business in gathering, organizing, and documenting requirements for a RIM system deployment.
• Create, update, and maintain process flows that reflect Regulatory Affairs business processes and system needs.
• Collaborate with Regulatory Affairs stakeholders, business users, technology teams, and implementation partners to clarify requirements and priorities.
• Support stakeholder discussions, workshops, and working sessions to understand current-state and future-state processes.
• Translate regulatory business needs into clear business requirements, process documentation, and system-supporting materials.
• Apply Regulatory Affairs subject matter expertise to help teams understand Health Authority regulations, regulatory workflows, and RIM-related needs.
• Support documentation related to regulatory submissions processes, annual reports, Health Authority conversations, and related regulatory activities as they connect to the RIM system.
• Help compile and organize documents needed to support a RIM system implementation, including business requirements and related process materials.
• Use tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio to document requirements, process flows, stakeholder inputs, and project materials.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure business requirements are understood, traceable, and aligned to implementation goals.

What You'll Bring

You will likely be successful in this role if you have:

• 10+ years of Regulatory Affairs experience, with direct experience working in regulatory affairs required.
• Regulatory Information Management experience required.
• Experience supporting or working with RIM systems, RIM processes, or RIM system deployments.
• Experience with Health Authority regulations, ideally FDA regulations applicable to the tobacco industry.
• Experience with Health Authority regulations in pharma or medical device environments, with willingness to learn tobacco regulations, may also be considered.
• Experience with regulatory submissions processes, including annual reports and Health Authority communications or conversations.
• Strong stakeholder management experience, including the ability to work with business users, regulatory teams, technical teams, and project stakeholders.
• Experience gathering requirements, documenting business needs, and supporting process documentation for system implementation work.
• Know-how of compiling documents for a RIM system, including business requirements and related implementation materials.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio.

How You Work

You are business-focused, practical, and able to translate regulatory knowledge into clear requirements and process documentation. You are comfortable working with multiple stakeholders, asking thoughtful questions, and clarifying details in a structured way. You bring strong attention to detail, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset to implementation work that requires accuracy, alignment, and follow-through.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with tobacco regulatory requirements or FDA regulations applicable to tobacco products.
• Experience supporting RIM system implementation, deployment, migration, or optimization projects.
• Experience documenting current-state and future-state regulatory processes.

• Experience using business process modeling tools beyond Visio.

What Success Looks Like
