• Plan, organize, and prioritize daily QC activities to ensure efficient workflows, timely data review, and on-time batch release.
• Monitor and maintain GMP compliance of QC systems in line with SOPs, regulatory requirements, and safety standards.
• Identify, propose, and implement continuous improvement and Lean initiatives to enhance QC efficiency and robustness.
• Represent QC Microbiology in cross-functional and site-wide projects related to QC systems and laboratory operations.
• Lead and support deviations, investigations, change controls, and CAPAs, driving root cause analysis and sustainable solutions.
• Author, review, and implement controlled documentation including SOPs, specifications, analytical methods, and work instructions.
• Prepare, review, and execute validation and qualification documentation (VMP, URS, risk assessments, IQ/OQ/PQ, data flow diagrams).
• Support QC data integrity and software systems, including vulnerability assessments, system improvements, and user management.
• Perform audit trail reviews, system parameter checks, and periodic access reviews in line with data integrity requirements.
• Act as an SME during internal audits, regulatory inspections, and health authority interactions.
