This internship offers exposure to healthcare regulations, pharmaceutical compliance, due diligence, and international trade laws. You’ll contribute to research, internal policy development, and cross-border regulatory projects that are essential to ensuring we meet the highest standards as we expand access to medicines in low- and middle-income countries.

Roles and Responsibilities:

Regulatory Research: Support the legal and regulatory team with research into pharmaceutical, medical, and health-related regulations across multiple jurisdictions (e.g. medicine trade regulations, import/export laws, healthcare compliance) and be a pivotal member in the mapping and execution of the Geographic Expansion of Axmed.

Due Diligence Support: Assist with conducting due diligence checks on suppliers, distributors, and partners — including gathering and analyzing regulatory documentation.

Policy Development & Tracking: Help draft internal policy documents and regulatory guidance memos and maintain trackers across countries and compliance topics.

Legal Landscape Monitoring: Stay current on relevant regulatory changes and help flag developments that may impact our global operations.

Internal Resource Management: Organize and maintain regulatory databases, templates, and knowledge-sharing tools to support internal efficiency and compliance.

Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with compliance, operations, and supply chain to ensure that internal processes align with local and international regulatory frameworks.

Exposure to Global Regulatory Systems: Work across healthcare regulations from multiple regions, gaining real insight into what it takes to operate compliantly in LMICs and other jurisdictions.

Practical Legal Skill-Building: Build your skills in legal research, risk analysis, and healthcare regulatory interpretation.

Mentorship and Learning: Work directly with legal and compliance professionals who are designing frameworks that support access to medicines.

Purpose-Driven Work: See the tangible impact of your work — helping ensure that medicines reach patients through safe, lawful, and scalable pathways.

Fast-Paced Learning Environment: Join a supportive and mission-led team where you'll grow quickly and be trusted to take ownership.

Career Development: Gain experience that will serve you in health law, regulatory affairs, compliance, or legal operations — and build a network within a growing global health company.
