  9. Hosting and participating in process groups and presenting the process during audits.

Qualifications

  1. A master’s degree and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in drug and/or medical device development.
  2. A solid understanding of drug GMP and advantageous design control.
  3. A continuous improvement process mindset and drive for improving and leading the change.
  4. Experience in container closure development as part of drug product or combination product development will be considered an advantage.
  5. High flexibility, as tasks vary, and project priorities may change.
  6. Excellent communication and presentation skills in both spoken and written English.

Personal characteristics:
We are seeking a motivated individual with strong interpersonal skills who can connect effectively with process experts and users. The candidate should be able to achieve success collaboratively, take initiative when required, and manage conflicts efficiently.

The preferred work location is in the office to stay close to process users and stakeholders.
