- Collaboration is central: you will work closely with Production, Quality, Engineering, R&D, and global partners to resolve shop-floor challenges, support change controls, lead risk assessments, and provide technical insight during supplier evaluations.
- As a people leader, you will mentor and develop MS&T scientists, fostering an inclusive, collaborative environment where expertise grows and accountability thrives. You ensure operational continuity by delegating effectively and building a resilient, high-performing team.

- Your background includes a solid foundation in manufacturing science and technology, experience in technology transfer, and a strong track record in process validation (PPQ, CPV) and lifecycle management. You are well-versed in GMP, ISO 13485, ICH, and global regulatory expectations, and have led investigations, performed root-cause analyses, implemented CAPAs, and contributed to regulatory submissions (IND, BLA, NDA, or variations).
- Core competencies include:

- Designing, executing, and reviewing process validation and revalidation protocols
- Managing deviation investigations and implementing CAPAs
