  • Quality Assurance and Risk Management:
    • Collaborate closely with QA/QC teams to ensure robust quality systems are in place and adhered to at all times.
    • Identify potential risks in the production process and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) to mitigate them.
  • Team Leadership and Development:
    • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing production team, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and collaboration.
    • Conduct regular training sessions to ensure the team is proficient in GMP, ISO 13485, LEAN practices, and other relevant skills.
    • Set clear performance goals, provide constructive feedback, and support professional growth within the team.
  • Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance:
