• Ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across Quality, Clinical, Regulatory, and IT to gather requirements, drive decisions, and deliver compliant solutions.

• 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.
