Coordinate with network sites to assess change impacts and implement controls.
• Training and Compliance Support: Develop and deliver training programs for manufacturing personnel on quality procedures, GMP requirements, and network-specific protocols. Foster a culture of quality and compliance across all PET manufacturing sites by providing ongoing support and guidance.
• Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Conduct risk assessments to identify potential quality issues in PET manufacturing processes, including those specific to decentralized operations. Propose and implement mitigation strategies to ensure product safety and regulatory adherence across the network.
• Collaboration Across Teams and Sites: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, quality control, and regulatory affairs, both locally and within the decentralized PET network, to support product release, process improvements, and network-wide quality initiatives. Facilitate communication to ensure alignment on quality objectives.
• Validation and Qualification Support: Oversee and support validation and qualification activities for manufacturing equipment, processes, and systems, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Coordinate validation efforts across decentralized sites to maintain consistency and quality.
• Quality Metrics and Reporting: Monitor and report on key quality metrics for PET manufacturing operations, including network-wide performance. Identify trends and recommend improvements to enhance quality and efficiency across all sites.

• Experience: Minimum of 3-5 years of quality assurance experience in pharmaceutical, radiopharmaceutical, or a related GMP-regulated manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge: Strong understanding of GMP, FDA regulations (e.g., 21 CFR Part 211, 212), and ICH guidelines. Familiarity with PET manufacturing processes and decentralized manufacturing networks is a plus.
• Skills:
  • Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective documentation and collaboration across multiple sites.
