This role offers significant ownership and visibility across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

Own validation documentation from initial draft through review, approval, and implementation.
Coordinate with stakeholders to incorporate feedback while maintaining document accuracy, consistency, and integrity.
Identify documentation gaps, project risks, and process improvement opportunities, escalating concerns when necessary.
Ensure all documentation meets internal quality standards and is inspection- and audit-ready.
Manage multiple documentation projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines in a dynamic environment.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in a scientific, engineering, information systems, technical communications, or related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.
2+ years of experience authoring validation documentation within a regulated industry.
Proven experience developing validation documentation from technical discussions rather than simply processing existing drafts.
Hands-on experience creating and maintaining:
User Requirements Specifications (URS)
Validation Protocols
Test Cases and Test Scripts
Validation Reports
IQ/OQ/PQ Documentation
Qualification Documentation
Experience working directly with technical SMEs and translating complex requirements into clear, compliant documentation.
Strong understanding of validation methodologies and documentation practices within regulated environments.
Experience utilizing eQMS, PLM, document control, and change-control systems.
Excellent technical writing, editing, and communication skills.
Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
Ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining quality and compliance standards.
Self-directed professional capable of working independently with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience within the medical device, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, or other regulated life sciences industries.
Familiarity with:
Arena PLM/eQMS
Agile PLM
SAP
Comparable quality and document-management systems
Experience supporting Computer System Validation (CSV) and software validation projects.
Knowledge of ISO-regulated environments, including document control and quality management practices.
Experience supporting change-control and CAPA-related documentation activities.
Strong problem-solving abilities and experience working across multidisciplinary teams.
Ability to quickly learn new systems, processes, and technologies.

What Success Looks Like

Independently gather requirements and translate technical discussions into validation documentation.
Support document revisions, SOP updates, and change-control activities.
Build strong working relationships with Quality, Engineering, Validation, and IT teams.
Successfully manage validation deliverables through review and approval cycles.

Why Apply?

Opportunity to own critical validation and compliance documentation from concept through implementation.
Exposure to quality systems, validation programs, and regulated product development environments.
Collaborative culture that values technical expertise, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Opportunity to make a measurable impact on compliance, quality, and operational excellence.
