- Own your department’s budget and capacity plan
- Act as Production Approver for investigations and nonconformance reports, representing the operation with internal and external auditors and regulators
- Identify and lead continuous improvement projects targeting quality, reliability and cost
- Set performance standards and drive results through delegation, feedback and goal setting
What you’ll bring:
- 4–6 years’ leadership experience in a regulated manufacturing environment
- Working knowledge of EU GMP Annex 1 and aseptic manufacturing standards
- A proven track record of delivering results through large, diverse teams
- Competency in financial analysis and budget management
- Lean Management or Six Sigma experience (a plus)
- Bachelor’s degree in life science, business management or engineering — or equivalent experience
