- Experience in product development, formulation development, or process implementation within pharmaceutical NRT or smoke-free product industries.
- Knowledge of NRT products, oral dosage forms, extruded chewing gum, lozenges, tablets, or nicotine delivery platforms is considered a strong advantage.
- Understanding of pharmaceutical development requirements, including formulation robustness, process control, quality documentation, and regulatory expectations.
- Experience with or interest in FDA, EMA, GMP, ICH guidelines, and/or PMTA requirements.
