Major accountabilities:

• Technical Transfer Lead -Review and update Quality Risk Assessment (QRA) prior to transfer and prior to validation, adapt control strategy if needed.
• Review first APQR after transfer to ensure adequate product performance -Ensure that all relevant technical information and documentation for validation is available.
• Define pre-validation / validation strategy incl. process, cleaning, packaging and supportive studies (e.g., hold times).
• Coordinate technical, regulatory and validation batches at site.
• Support Validation Lead / Validation Expert in creation of validation protocol and report.
• Product Steward And -Maintain the oversight and knowledge for entire manufacturing process performed on site and throughout the entire commercial lifecycle, since transfer from development to date, act as SPOC.
• Create and maintain a product specific Quality Risk Analysis (QRAs).
• Monitor all critical variables and key variables as appropriate using statistical analysis and conducting regular product specific data trending.
• Review APQR and decide on state of control.
• Technical Steward -Act as the SPOC for the interface with global MSAndT network and with technical development organization, for the corresponding global activities, to define and implement new technical standards for existing and new technologies and equipment.
• Owns the knowledge of specific pharmaceutical manufacturing process technologies, locally, including any pilot scale, scale up or down, and Design of Experiments (DoE).
• Provide technical expertise for validation activities around technologies within area of responsibility.
• Harmonize and optimize technical processes across the site.
• Validation Lead -Support Product Steward in maintaining the process control strategy.
• Provide technical expertise and facilitate establishment of Quality Risk Assessment (as needed).
• Define and implement validation strategy (process, cleaning, ongoing verification) and defend to authorities.
• Overall responsibility for establishment, prioritization, execution and tracking of Validation Master Plan for process, cleaning, packaging validation and ongoing process verification (OPV), ongoing cleaning verification.
• Senior Scientist MSAndT -Complex projects with deep understanding of development process requirements -Difficult to solve topics (eg.
• new by-product investigation, complex deviations) -Cross product alignment in support approach (larger sites) -Reporting of technical complaints / adverse events / special case scenarios related to Novartis products within 24 hours of receipt -Distribution of marketing samples (where applicable)

Key performance indicators:

• Cost, C-Sat and productivity targets -Achievement of project plans & milestones -Internal customer satisfaction with quality of services provided -Validation Master Plan (VMP) completed and up to date.
