• Conduct local data cleansing to ensure high data quality and accuracy across the laboratory platforms.
• Develop clear and concise local work instructions to detail the execution of global data processes at the site level.
• Collaborate with global and local Quality Control (QC) stakeholders to align master data structures.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in data management, specifically around master data setup, migration, and loading processes.
• Direct knowledge of QC laboratory operations, testing methods, and related data requirements.
