• Ensure delivery and validation documentation is complete, audit-ready, and stored appropriately; manage formal change control for any scope changes
• Lead and develop direct reports through monthly performance feedback meetings, ensuring training requirements are met and team capabilities continue to grow
• Demonstrated experience applying SDLC and Computer Software Assurance (CSA) methodologies, including risk-based approaches to validation of GxP computerized systems
• Experience delivering MES programs including electronic batch records, recipe management, and integrations with automation/SCADA, ERP, LIMS, and historian systems preferred
