Regulatory Affairs Officer

Are you looking to work for a rapidly growing UK Pharmaceutical company, who are passionate about improving patients’ lives across the world?

Aspire Pharma is an asset-light pharmaceutical manufacturer. It licenses and develops niche pharmaceutical products that offer innovative formulations, value for money for payors, and reliable supply arrangements in markets which are often underserved. The business has a highly diversified portfolio of more than 250 products across a number of categories, including branded specialty products and unbranded niche generics in therapeutic areas such as urology, ophthalmology, CNS and dermatology.

In October 2022, Aspire Pharma and H.I.G. Capital completed the transformational acquisition of Morningside Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare who has a diversified portfolio of more than 100 products across a range of therapeutic areas.

As these two successful businesses continue the integration process, it is a truly exciting time to join this growing business. This acquisition will create a clear leader in the UK specialty pharmaceuticals market and a platform ready to drive rapid international expansion through both organic and inorganic approaches.
