Summary:
We are currently seeking a GxP Systems Lead SME who is experienced, but equally important, very hands-on, execution-focused, and able to work with a strong sense of urgency.

• Strong expertise in Computer System Validation (CSV)
• Must have GCP (Good Clinical Practice) and R&D expertise

Responsibilities:

• Proven hands-on experience supporting a portfolio of GxP systems, including Veeva Vault (RIM and Clinical modules such as eTMF and CTMS), as well as non-Veeva systems/platforms (e.g., Egnyte, DOT Compliance, etc.) in regulated environments.
• Strong expertise in Computer System Validation (CSV), including risk-based validation and end-to-end ownership of validation lifecycle deliverables (URS, FS, IQ/OQ/PQ, TM, etc.) from initiation through closure.
• Strong knowledge of global GxP regulations (FDA, EMA, ICH), GAMP 5, and their practical application to IT systems, with a focus on maintaining audit and inspection readiness.
• Demonstrated project management experience, including planning, execution, risk management, and delivery of system implementations and enhancements.
• Ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across Quality, Clinical, Regulatory, and IT to gather requirements, drive decisions, and deliver compliant solutions.
• Experience managing system configurations, releases, integrations, and enhancements across both Veeva and non-Veeva systems, including change controls and impact assessments.
• Strong understanding of data integrity principles (ALCOA+), system governance, SOP development, and vendor management for GxP applications.
• Experience performing gap assessments against current SOPs and regulatory requirements and executing the subsequent remediation work would be a plus.

Qualifications:

• A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent work experience) in IT, Engineering, or related science and math discipline with a Technology emphasis.
• Expertise in managing a portfolio of GxP systems, including Veeva Vault (RIM and Clinical modules such as eTMF and CTMS) ITSM tools (SNOW)
• Strong expertise in Computer System Validation (CSV)
• Strong knowledge of global GxP regulations (FDA, EMA, ICH), GAMP 5, and their practical application to IT systems.
