You are a scientific or engineering professional with a degree in a relevant discipline and at least 5 years of experience in validation or product development within the diagnostic, pharmaceutical, or biotech industry. Beyond your strong technical expertise, here’s what makes you stand out : Extensive knowledge of process validation, pFMEAs, and statistical techniques for sampling plans and process capabilities. Exceptional skills in preparing and reviewing validation plans, protocols, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Practical experience in validation studies, including Process, Cleaning, Equipment Qualification (IQ, OQ, PQ), and CSV. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams with emotional intelligence and communicate effectively at all levels, both verbally and in writing. Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills combined with attention to detail and the ability to independently manage changing priorities. Keen organizational capabilities and understanding of project management principles, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met. Open-minded and adaptable, with a strong work ethic and the ability to thrive in a constantly evolving environment. Accountable, team-oriented, and flexible, with an eagerness to train and mentor colleagues while also learning from them. Previous experience in product development, coupled with the ability to work in ISO-regulated Quality Management Systems, will further strengthen your application. Administrative / Management jobs
