Ethics & Compliance Manager

Philcare Pharma, Inc. (PPI) now in its 15th year of operation is an established mid-size pharmaceutical company with nationwide operations, expanding aggressively in niche, hospital-based critical care solutions. We bring to the Philippine market specialty medicines and devices in critical care, cardiovascular, anti-infectives, anesthesia and pain, and advanced wound care — therapies chosen because they address unmet clinical needs and because few others can supply them.

Our business model is built on scientific depth and clinical partnership with the medical community. Our field teams work alongside intensivists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and infectious disease specialists in the country's leading hospitals, supported by a dedicated Medical Affairs function, structured training, and a performance-driven culture that values integrity and competency in every interaction.

We are growing on every axis: new molecules, new therapeutic areas, new hospital channels, and a national field force organized for depth of engagement. Our ambition is to be the most trusted specialty healthcare partner to Philippine hospitals and clinicians, and we are building the organization, systems, and governance to match that ambition. The Ethics & Compliance Manager is central to that build.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created position with a direct line to the General Manager and standing access to the Board on compliance matters. You will own two mandates as one integrated Ethics & Compliance function: Employee Compliance (Code of Progressive Discipline, disciplinary due process, Employee Relations Committee) and PRCM — Promotions, Regulatory & Compliance Management (PHAP Code of Practice, FDA-PH, PDEA/DDB, Data Privacy).

Few compliance roles in Philippine pharma offer this breadth. You will safeguard PPI's licence to operate, protect the integrity of our engagement with healthcare professionals, and set the ethical tone under which our commercial ambition is pursued. You will have the mandate, the budget, and the independence to build a compliance function that stands up to any scrutiny — from the FDA-PH, the NPC, the NLRC, or our multinational principals.

What You Will Own

• Enforcement of the Philcare Employee Code of Progressive Discipline, including due process coaching for supervisors and secretariat role on the Employee Relations Committee (ERC)
• The Company's inhouse compliance program— HCP interactions, gifts and hospitality, sponsorships, congresses, speaker programs, and promotional materials review
• Field audits of medical representatives, key account specialists, and district managers for call-report integrity, sample handling, and PHAP adherence
• Regulatory compliance under FDA-PH Good Distribution Practices, PDEA S2 and DDB rules for controlled substances, and Data Privacy Act (R.A. 10173) requirements
• The Company's Speak-Up / Whistleblower channel and investigation function — intake, investigation, resolution, and non-retaliation oversight
• Compliance training and awareness for the entire organization; onboarding compliance module for new hires

Who You Are

• 10+ years in Ethics & Compliance, HR/Employee Relations, or Regulatory Affairs, ideally in a Philippine pharmaceutical, medical device, or healthcare organization; 3+ years in a compliance leadership role
• Deep in both mandates — Employee Compliance (Labor Code Art. 297, DOLE D.O. 147-15, twin-notice due process) and PRCM (PHAP Code, IFPMA Code, FDA-PH GDP, PDEA/DDB rules, R.A. 10173, R.A. 3019, R.A. 8203, R.A. 9502)
• A writer capable of drafting NTEs, NOCs, investigation reports, and audit findings that hold up in front of the NLRC and the FDA-PH
• An investigator, comfortable interviewing witnesses, evaluating evidence, and reaching evidence-based conclusions
• Personally courageous — the value of a Compliance leader is the difficult conversation, not the easy one
• A licensed Pharmacist, Attorney (Juris Doctor), or holder of an equivalent bachelor's degree with strong compliance credentials

Strong pluses: SEC-recognised Compliance Officer certification, CHRP, CIA, or equivalent; prior Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI) experience; hospital-channel background in cardiovascular, critical care, or anti-infectives; direct experience hosting an FDA-PH, PDEA, or NPC inspection; PMAP or PHAP membership.

What We Offer

Management-level compensation (PHP 100,000–150,000 gross monthly) with performance bonus; HMO, group life, and statutory benefits; direct line to the General Manager and standing Board access on compliance matters; certification and training budget; and the authority and resources to build an ethics & compliance function from the ground up in a company that hires a Compliance leader because it wants one, not because it has to have one.
