• Familiarity with deviations, CAPAs, audits, risk assessments, and quality systems.
• Experience using electronic GxP training or Learning Management Systems (LMS) is advantageous.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and coaching skills.
• Ability to analyse trends and translate findings into practical process and behavioural improvements.
