Outreach Specialist

Would you like to contribute to the safe use of medicines and vaccines worldwide? We are looking for a driven and curious Outreach Specialist to support UMC’s external engagement work. Through events, email campaigns, projects, and close collaboration with our user communities, you will help strengthen the reach and impact of UMC’s products and services in global pharmacovigilance.

Since 1978, Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) has been dedicated to developing, supporting, and expanding the field of pharmacovigilance science and practice.

As a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre, we support work around the world to examine the potential adverse effects of medicines and vaccines and contribute to safer, more informed care of patients.

We are a diverse, international group of pharmacists, physicians, data scientists, system developers, communicators, and many other professionals motivated by a deep belief that the work we do matters.

About the role

We are seeking an Outreach Specialist to support and further develop UMC’s work with engaging and supporting current and potential users of UMC’s products and services, as well as other stakeholders worldwide. This includes planning and delivering outreach activities that help users understand, adopt, and make effective use of UMC’s products and services within global pharmacovigilance, including products such as UMC’s Drug Dictionary, WHODrug Global.

You will contribute to a broad range of outreach activities, such as webinars, face‑to‑face events, conference coordination, content creation, and digital engagement initiatives. The role combines hands‑on operational work with participation in more strategically planned initiatives and projects, and involves close collaboration with colleagues across UMC as well as regular interaction with external user communities and other stakeholders.

You will report to the Head of Outreach.
