  • Partner with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Process Development teams to ensure successful process validation and GMP manufacturing readiness.
  • Serve as the primary cross-functional project lead, coordinating activities across Operations, QA/QC, Engineering, Supply Chain, and global stakeholders.
  • Facilitate project meetings, drive accountability, resolve cross-functional issues, and communicate project status to leadership.
  • Partner with Quality to ensure all project activities comply with cGMP requirements and support the development of SOPs, batch records, validation protocols, and other controlled documentation.
  • Support facility startup activities, including equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), operational readiness, and execution of initial GMP manufacturing campaigns.
  • Help establish scalable project management processes, governance, and best practices to support a growing manufacturing organization.
  • Collaborate with global teams and external partners to align technical requirements, project timelines, and key deliverables while effectively managing communication across multiple time zones.
