Regulatory Affairs Manager salary by seniority
Median advertised pay at each level, with the middle half of adverts beside it. The step between levels is usually the number worth negotiating over.
How to read a regulatory affairs manager salary range
The middle half of regulatory affairs manager adverts sits between £42,500 and £67,500 — the top of that band is 1.6× the bottom. Where you land inside it is decided less by the job title than by three things: the level the role is pitched at, the employer's size and the city. On this board Belfast pays most for the role at £100,000 on average.
An advert quoting a wide range is usually a level range in disguise: the bottom is what they would pay someone they have to train, the top is what they would pay someone who can run the work unsupervised. Ask which end the role is really budgeted at before you anchor on the top figure.
The figures on this page are advertised pay, which runs a little ahead of what people in post earn. If an offer sits below the median here for the level, that is a fair thing to raise; if it sits above the 75th percentile, it is a good offer for this market.

Figures are medians and averages of salaries advertised on BOQQS, not a survey of what people are paid — advertised pay leads actual pay. Day and hourly rates are annualised at 260 working days and 37.5 hours a week. Nothing below £28,000 a year is carried on this board, so these figures describe the specialist market rather than all jobs in the UK. How the figures are worked out
