Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced Large Language Models.

1. Overview

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team and help build foundational AI models from the ground up. We're seeking talented Pharmacovigilance and Medical Safety subject-matter experts (SMEs) from the pharmaceutical and biotech industry to bring deep drug safety expertise and elevate the quality of our AI training data. This is a full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.

This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Guide research and engineering teams to close knowledge gaps and improve AI model performance in pharmacovigilance, signal detection, benefit-risk assessment, and global safety reporting.
• Design challenging, realistic drug safety tasks, such as case causality assessments, signal evaluation scenarios, aggregate report questions and risk management problems, and write accurate, well-structured solutions.
• Evaluate AI model outputs on drug safety questions for accuracy against ICH E2 guidelines and FDA and EU GVP requirements, and provide clear, written feedback.
• Develop guidelines and detailed rubrics to assess causality reasoning, MedDRA coding judgment, and benefit-risk conclusions across tasks.
• Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in training data.

3. Core Qualifications

• 7+ years of dedicated professional experience in Pharmacovigilance or Drug Safety within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry at a recognized, top-tier organization (e.g., a top-25 pharmaceutical company such as Pfizer, Merck, Roche, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Bristol Myers Squibb, Sanofi or GSK; a major biotech such as Amgen, Gilead, Genentech, Regeneron, Vertex or Biogen; a leading CRO such as IQVIA, ICON, Parexel, Syneos Health, PPD/Thermo Fisher, Labcorp/Fortrea or Medpace; or a regulator such as the FDA or EMA).
• Hands-on experience with signal detection and management, and authoring or leading aggregate safety reports (PSUR/PBRER, DSUR, PADER) and risk management plans.
• Working knowledge of a safety database (e.g., Argus, ARISg or Veeva Vault Safety), MedDRA, and ICH E2 and EU GVP requirements.
• Current or most recent role at Senior Manager or Associate Director level or above, with demonstrable career progression (e.g., Drug Safety Scientist → Senior Safety Scientist → Associate Director, Pharmacovigilance → Director, or Safety Physician → Medical Director → Senior Medical Director).
• Ability to engage reliably for at least 40 hours/week during weekdays.
• Experience with AI training or evaluation work, or hands-on use of AI tools in drug safety work, is a plus.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex safety and benefit-risk judgments clearly.
