Location: Remote / Hybrid

Duration: 3 months (with potential for extension or full-time conversion)

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced L&D Operations professional to support our Commercial Learning & Development (CL&D) team during a temporary leave of absence. This role is critical to ensuring BioMarin remains fully compliant with all digital training requirements across our global Commercial organization. The contractor will manage day-to-day Learning Management System (LMS) operations, oversee training assignments and completions, maintain accurate, audit-ready training records, while partnering closely with cross-functional teams, including Compliance, Medical and Brand teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong LMS expertise, ideally in ComplianceWire, and a solid understanding of pharma regulatory, compliance, and validation requirements across multiple markets, with a primary focus on Europe. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where accuracy and compliance are paramount.

Key Responsibilities

Training Operations & Compliance

• Ensure accurate and compliant recordkeeping for all completed commercial training activities.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation aligned with internal SOPs and regulatory expectations (21 CFR Part 11, EMA, GDPR, etc.).
• Monitor training completion and follow up with learners, managers, and regional partners to close outstanding actions.
• Track and manage overdue, upcoming, and recurrent training requirements to ensure 100% compliance.

LMS Administration

• Manage training assignments, curricula updates, and digital learning assets within the LMS (ComplianceWire required; Veeva/other LMS experience a plus).
• Upload, test, validate, and maintain digital learning content to ensure assets function as expected and remain compliant.
• Troubleshoot LMS issues and coordinate with IT, Quality, and vendor support as needed.
• Maintain metadata, version control, and archival processes for digital learning materials.

Compliance & Governance Collaboration

• Work closely with Commercial Compliance to interpret regulations and establish rules around required training for field-based, office-based, and global roles.
• Support training assignment logic for new hires, role changes, and product updates (including label expansions).
• Assist in remediation planning and CAPA-related training activities when required.

Process & Documentation Management

• Maintain SOPs, work instructions, and process documentation related to L&D operations and LMS administration.
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce manual work, and enhance operational efficiency.
• Support data pulls, dashboards, and reporting for internal stakeholders, leadership, and auditors.

Qualifications

Required

• 3+ years of experience in L&D Operations, Training Administration, or LMS Management within a pharma/biotech or highly regulated environment.
• Hands-on experience with ComplianceWire (strongly preferred); experience with other validated LMS platforms also acceptable.
• Strong understanding of pharma regulatory and compliance requirements related to training (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, audit trails, validation).
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities with precision.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to follow up professionally with global stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and maintain strict confidentiality and accuracy.

Preferred

• Experience collaborating with QA/Compliance teams.
• Familiarity with Veeva PromoMats, LMS validation, or digital learning publishing tools.
• Experience in Commercial, Medical, or Field-based learning environments.

What Success Looks Like

• Zero compliance gaps or overdue training risks during the contract period.

• Smooth continuity of operations while the full-time employee is on leave.
• Strong partnership with Compliance, HR, and regional stakeholders.
