Quality Operations Manager (Contract)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a PURPOSE paragraph, then essential duties, then supervisory responsibilities, qualifications, skills/abilities, work environment. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We only include sections that have real specific content. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so omit. About the role: we can use PURPOSE as about the role. Responsibilities: essential duties and responsibilities. Requirements: maybe education/experience? Qualifications: maybe qualifications? Actually they have both QUALIFICATIONS and SKILLS and/or ABILITIES. We could map QUALIFICATIONS to Requirements (education/experience) and SKILLS to Skills. Or we could have Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (skills/abilities). Also SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Probably include under Responsibilities. WORK ENVIRONMENT could be a section? Not in list but we could put under About the role? The instruction says use headings for those specific sections only. It didn't list Work Environment as allowed heading, so we should not create a heading for it. We could incorporate its content into About the role or Responsibilities as prose. Probably better to add a paragraph under About the role describing work environment. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from PURPOSE, essential duties, supervisory responsibilities, qualifications, skills/abilities, work environment. We must use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. The essential duties are a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. Could be turned into list items. The instruction: Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should break duties into list items. Similarly qualifications (education/experience) could be list. Skills also list. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details. Let's extract sections: PURPOSE paragraph: "The Quality Operations Manager reports to Vice President (VP) Quality Operations and is responsible for supporting and as applicable, implementing quality operations initiatives to support the company’s quality management systems. At the request of Sr. Quality management, may be required to collaborate directly with Project Management, Regulatory, Monitoring, Information Technology/Clinical Systems, Data Management, Biostatistics/Programming and/or other operational staff on study document review, data reporting, site management issues, CAPA management, issue resolution, and database build/testing." We can treat as About the role. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: list many items. We'll break each sentence starting with a verb. Let's list them: - Review study documents and provide feedback on protocols, Informed Consent Form templates, study plans, CAPAs, memo-to-files, and others as necessary for the purpose of evaluating compliance to protocol, applicable regulatory requirements, SOPs, and applicable Lotus and sponsor standards. - Provide support with content for Quality Operations newsletters to CRO operational staff. - Responsible for creating (as applicable) quality metrics trackers to support CRO quality initiatives. - Works directly with VP of Quality Operations to establish metrics when necessary. - Support Quality Operations management with sponsor audits, including but not limited to preparation, interviews, creation of quality Operations presentations, review of other functional area presentations, attendance during audit calls/meeting, document retrieval, audit finding responses. - Prepare, perform, and/or support completion of internal eTMF audits. - Prepare, perform, and/or support completion of internal driven functional area system audits. - May include support for contract compliance QA Auditor, preparing audit plans, communication with functional area management, requesting of general and/or study specific documents for review, access and review of documents within the study eTMF, preparing report and/or audit findings table, and issuance/review of finding responses. - Provide support and direct managerial duties for the Quality Operations Associate in preparing and conducting company training as it relates to quality operation initiatives to company personnel and ensuring Company Training Matrix and personnel training files are current, accurate, and complete. - Perform audits of clinical sites and/or clinical third-party vendors in support of quality assurance initiatives and clients contract requirements. - Will report directly to the VP Quality Operations on activities associated with the preparation, conduct, and follow-up related to any audits performed. - Support VP Quality Operations and senior operations staff with FDA Inspections including but not limited to readiness training, attending the inspection, interaction with subject matter experts, document retrieval/review, and acting scribe. - Maintain an up-to-date understanding of issues and changes in regulatory compliance activities at FDA and other regulatory agencies. - Will conduct ongoing research of FDA guidance’s and information correspondence to keep informed and disseminate latest regulatory information. - Will maintain Quality Operations Regulatory Guidance tracking and notifying all CRO personnel of new/updated guidance which may govern CRO contract services - Support quality initiatives as outlined in company Quality Management Plan. - Support quality deliverables associated with company infrastructure including, but not limited to, SOP development/review, Standard Document development/review, company Work Instruction development/review and training development/review. - Maintain a high level of knowledge and understanding of protocols, study plans, and other applicable study documents. - May be requested to provide Quality Operations support to Lotus core study team members as it relates to quality issue escalation, remediation, and/or other support throughout a clinical study, including the review of study protocols, Informed Consent Forms, and Clinical Study Reports. - Support the facilitation of and management of vendor audits. - May be required to collaborate with consultant QA Auditors on vendor qualification/assessments if not performing the audit directly. - Maintain good working knowledge of Clinical Research procedures and guidelines.
