Regulatory Affairs Managers - Working Conditions

In a typical work setting, regulatory affairs managers:

Interpersonal Relationships

  • Have a high level of social interaction. They interact with managers, scientists, and specialists throughout the day.
  • Regularly work as part of a team.
  • Communicate by phone, e-mail, and in person on a daily basis. Sometimes write letters and memos.
  • Are occasionally placed in conflict situations.

Physical Work Conditions

  • Almost always work indoors.
  • Usually have either a private or shared office space.

Work Performance

  • Must be very exact and extremely accurate in their work. Errors could significantly delay a product approval or even cause a product to lose its regulatory status.
  • Usually set their daily tasks and goals or make decisions without consulting a superior first. Their work is dependent on what scientists do and by upcoming deadlines, so working together is very important.
  • Make decisions that strongly impact their coworkers and their company.
  • Must meet strict weekly deadlines that may make the work environment somewhat stressful.
