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
Requirements
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

critical care, or anti-infectives; direct experience hosting an FDA-PH, PDEA,
or NPC inspection; PMAP or PHAP membership.
Benefits
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.
