- Design and oversee process validation, qualification, and monitoring strategies, implementing master validation plans for processes, equipment, and facilities in collaboration with Subject Matter Experts.
- Build and manage a multi-site organization that supports the product portfolio, ensuring efficient processes, knowledge exchange, and integration of lessons learned.
- Oversee resource allocation and make strategic "make vs. buy" decisions based on project priorities and technology strategies, adhering to CTO CGT governance processes.
- Drive innovation by integrating internal and external expertise, incorporating the latest technologies, and leading digital programs aligned with CTO CGT strategies.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations (e.g., ISEC, GMP, HSE), and manage regulatory submissions, including the creation of source documents and dossier modules.
- Provide technical leadership for developing new and improved processes for high-quality cell therapy production.
- Author and review regulatory CMC packages for IND filings and approval applications (BLA/MAA/NDA).
- Address process development inquiries from health authorities during global product filings and approvals.
