Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a collaborative life sciences technology and Quality organization expanding the use of ServiceNow across regulated business operations. This initiative will establish ServiceNow as a validated platform supporting Quality processes, incident management, asset management, and configuration data. The program brings together Information Technology, Quality, Computer System Validation, business-process leaders, technical vendors, and subject-matter experts in a highly visible enterprise initiative.

The environment is detailed, compliance-driven, and cross-functional. Success will require a senior leader who can establish structure, rebuild the delivery plan, manage competing priorities, and keep a large group of stakeholders aligned toward a targeted first-quarter 2027 launch.

What's In Store For You:

Engagement: W2 only (no C2C/1099)

• Establish clear ownership and accountability across internal teams and external partners.
• Facilitate working sessions, leadership updates, testing events, and decision-making meetings.
• Ensure project activities and documentation align with GxP requirements and applicable validation standards.
• Support readiness activities leading to a targeted first-quarter 2027 go-live.
