I am the Head of Information for a South African not-for-profit pharmaceutical company. I am a pharmacist by profession and started the Information department in the company 6 years ago. Some of my functions include:
- runinng a drug information centre for health professionals/medical information activities
-competitive intelligence
-knowledge management
-project management
-clinical trials management
-pharmacovigilance (adverse event monitoring)
-information resource management
I am in the process of having my job description and salary reviewed. My boss has asked me to try and benchmark my job against others in the industry so as to provide our human resource consultants some relative information so that they know where to place my job in the grading scale that we use.
What I would like to know from you is:
1) Is the information function in your company delegated to a specific department or are the functions spread across departments? If so, which departments?
2) What job titles are given for any or all of the above functions in your company?
3) Would you be willing to share your job descriptions with me?
4) In pharmaceutical companies, are the drug information and pharmacovigilance activities, in separate departments, the same department or as part of regulatory affairs?
Any assitance with regard to the above, will be greatly appreciated.
