Auditor - GLP

GLP Auditor

Quality in preclinical development is a matter of operational resilience as much as regulatory mandate. This role serves as a GLP Auditor within our Research & Development Quality audit program, responsible for executing the global audit plan to ensure the accuracy of non-clinical safety/toxicology studies trial data and compliance with legal and corporate standards. By conducting audits of our external vendors (GLRP, GLP and GcLP) and internal trial management processes, you identify the findings and non-compliance trends that could impact the integrity of our non-clinical research. We are looking for an experienced auditor who can navigate complex pre-clinical environments and work collaboratively with stakeholders to develop corrective actions that ensure long-term systemic stability.

• Reporting & Risk Categorization: Develop and issue comprehensive Audit Reports, categorizing findings by risk level and providing recommendations for corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) related to trial conduct and data integrity.
• Trend Analysis: Identify non-compliance trends and systematic risks within the Non-clinical (GRLP/GLP/GCLP) discipline, communicating these findings to line management and clinical functional leads to ensure trial robustness.
• Continuous Improvement: Support initiatives to improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) for audit conduct and partner with stakeholders to develop risk-based, compliant solutions for non-clinical trial management.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of global GLP regulations (ICH Safety Guidelines) and industry trends, identifying new requirements to ensure a high level of quality is maintained across all non-clinical development programs.
