  • Ensure timely disposition of starting material, intermediates, drug substance and drug product.
  • Serve as Quality point-of-contact for client programs.
  • Provide on-the-floor QA oversight and support in the cleanroom suites to ensure compliance to cGMP regulations throughout the manufacturing process.

  • Perform review of Quality records including Batch Records, Test Records, GMP protocols/reports, lab investigations, work orders, and change controls.
  • Identify compliance risks and escalate the issues to appropriate levels or management for timely resolution.
  • Develop and coach team members for fostering a Quality Culture and enabling performance.

Requirements:
  • Minimum Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Science, or related field.
  • At least 8 years of experience in a Manufacturing, Technical Operations, Quality or GMP environment supporting complex products. At least 5 years in a Quality Assurance role. At least 3 years managing individuals or project teams.
