Careers at Wockhardt — Pune

Clinical research roles at Wockhardt in Pune

Wockhardt is a sponsor rather than a services company, with a portfolio that spans global generics, biosimilars, and a well-known new-antibiotic research programme. Its clinical-adjacent hiring around Pune concentrates on two functions. Pharmacovigilance runs product safety surveillance across marketed and investigational products, covering case processing, aggregate reports, and signal support. Regulatory affairs prepares and maintains submissions for India and export markets, including regulated and emerging-market filings and, given the pipeline, biologics and antibiotic dossiers. Because Wockhardt develops novel antibiotics alongside generics, safety and regulatory staff see a broader range of product types than at a pure generics house.

What Wockhardt looks for in freshers

B.Pharm, M.Pharm, Pharm.D, and M.Sc life sciences graduates are the usual entrants. Safety candidates gain from knowing MedDRA coding, case seriousness and causality, and ICSR timelines; regulatory candidates benefit from understanding CTD and eCTD structure and the differences between market pathways. ICH-GCP is a baseline expectation. For the biosimilar and antibiotic work, curiosity about biologics and a willingness to learn complex product safety profiles help a fresher stand out.

Interview process

The typical route is a screening call, one or two technical rounds, and an HR discussion. Safety candidates are asked to classify cases and assess causality; regulatory candidates answer questions on dossier structure and query handling. A scenario round might present a safety signal or a regulatory deficiency and ask for your first steps. HR closes on shift readiness, notice period, and package.
