  • Ensure successful technology transfer by applying formal processes and tools to manage information exchange, process-related risks, and change control.
  • Resolve process issues that may arise during production, considering all regulatory requirements.
  • Conduct GMP risk analyses for manufacturing processes.
  • Serve as an MSAT process expert in capital investment projects for the construction and commissioning of production units, responsible for delivering all necessary inputs for specific processes (block flow diagrams, media and buffer lists, critical parameter lists).
  • Implement the manufacturing process in the facility.
  • Interact directly with customers during technology transfer, campaign preparation, execution, and closure, including daily reporting on batch status and performance.
  • Ensure timely compilation of process deviations, change requests, and campaign reports.
  • Prepare CMC sections for submission documents and technical content of validation reports.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of standardized MSAT procedures and processes.
  • Drive continuous improvement in process performance.
