  • In partnership with the CMC team, review and approve CDMO executed batch records, protocols, and quality documentation, confirming that all GMP requirements are met and that the quality record supporting each batch release decision is complete and traceable.

  • Support technology transfer and process validation activities performed at CDMO sites, including protocol/report review and approval to ensure manufacturing readiness for commercialization.

Clinical & Nonclinical CRO Oversight

  • Draft, negotiate, and maintain Quality Agreements defining roles, responsibilities, and quality standards between the company and each vendor.
  • Maintain the approved vendor list and associated risk assessments.

Quality Management System (QMS)

  • Working across internal functions and with external clinical/nonclinical QA consultants, drive the development of the internal QMS, including SOPs governing vendor oversight, deviations, CAPA, change control, document control, clinical operations, data management, pharmacovigilance, biostatistics, and training, and continuously improve it to support scaling clinical pipelines.
  • Maintain document control systems for controlled documents, quality agreements, and vendor quality records.
  • Training & Quality Culture
  • Develop and deliver GxP yearly training for internal staff, and champion a strong, risk-based quality culture across a small, cross-functional organization.
