Experience with key quality system elements such as validation, shop-floor quality support, batch record review, deviation management, CAPA management, and inspection readiness.
Working experience in parenteral, aseptic, and/or biologics operations, particularly in a manufacturing or quality oversight capacity.
Ability to review and assess change controls and deviations, with the capability to author such documentation when required.
Strong understanding and practical application of Quality Risk Management principles in a GMP environment.
Proficiency in interpreting and applying regulatory requirements and internal quality standards to external operations.
Ability to analyze metrics, trends, and audit outcomes and translate them into meaningful quality and performance improvements.
Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with internal stakeholders and external quality counterparts.
