• Participate in batch scheduling, readiness checks, material availability reviews, and daily Operations activities.
• Support Material Readiness by coordinating bills of materials (BOMs) and maintaining tracking tools.
• Contribute to Campaign Summary Reports and process data trending to support continuous improvement.

Serve as the Operations Point of Contact

• Represent Operations in internal and external project meetings.
• Provide timely production updates to clients and help maintain strong communication throughout each project.
• Assist in managing process deviations, amendments, SOP updates, and other quality-related activities.

Contribute to a Culture of Safety & Compliance

• Uphold cGMP, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Good Documentation Practices, and internal procedures.
• Ensure accurate, timely documentation and escalate any incidents or concerns.

Participate in On-Call Support (as per rotation)

• Provide after-hours support to resolve processing issues, report IPCs, and collaborate with QA, R&D, and Ops leadership when needed.

Qualifications

• A degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, life sciences, or a related discipline.
• Ability to work effectively in a regulated environment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety and compliance.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
