At Life Science Outsourcing (LSO), we help bring life-saving and life-improving medical devices to the patients who need them. Before a device can reach a hospital or clinic, its sterilization process has to be validated, and our Sterilization Validation Services (SVS) team makes that happen for medical device companies across the industry. As our SVS Coordinator, you'll be the person who keeps those validation projects organized, on schedule, and within budget.

If you love keeping many moving pieces in order, take pride in documents that are right the first time, and enjoy being the person customers count on for a clear update, you'll thrive here. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build hands-on experience in medical device sterilization and regulatory work inside an FDA-registered, ISO 13485-certified company.

• Follow approved protocols and work instructions for each project.

Coordination & Resource Planning

• Coordinate the resources and day-to-day activities needed to complete validation projects.
• Partner with LSO departments and outside vendors, such as testing laboratories and sterilization providers, to keep work on schedule and within budget.

Customer Communication

• Maintain accurate project status reports and distribute them to customers every week.
• Communicate clearly and promptly when timelines, results, or requirements change.

Documentation & Quality
