Compliance & Quality
- Ensure full compliance with FDA regulations, GMP standards, BD Quality Systems, and internal procedures, maintaining an always audit-ready environment.
- Lead inspection readiness and actively support regulatory audits (FDA, internal, and external).
- Drive timely and effective resolution of deviations, non-conformances (NCRs), and audit findings through robust CAPA processes.
- Reinforce a strong quality culture with accountability at all levels, grounded in the principle:
"Follow the process exactly and prove every batch meets specification." - Maintain focus on critical pharma risks including dose accuracy, potency, and contamination control.
People Leadership & Engagement
- Lead, coach, and develop supervisors and production teams to build a high-performing, compliant, and accountable organization.
- Ensure adequate staffing, capability building, and succession planning for business-critical roles.
- Demonstrate discipline, rigor, and a zero-tolerance mindset for deviations.
- Foster a culture of strong governance, documentation excellence, and audit readiness.
- Balance operational performance with compliance priorities by:
- Driving compliance discipline and deviation reduction
- Accepting structured, deliberate decision-making processes
- Maintaining focus on contamination control, batch release, and inspection readiness.
- Promote BD Values, a strong Speak Up culture, and an inclusive, respectful work environment.
Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement
- Lead Lean and BD Excellence initiatives, including Kaizen events, process standardization, and waste elimination.
- Deliver productivity improvements and cost targets aligned with the Cost-to-Win (CTW) strategy.
- Leverage KPIs and data analytics to drive performance, with particular focus on deviation reduction, batch release efficiency, and right-first-time execution.
- Support Factory Blueprint implementation and sustain standard work practices across the unit
Safety & EHS
- Ensure compliance with EHS standards and promote a zero-incident safety culture.
- Address risks proactively and lead investigations for safety incidents.
- Partner with EHS to drive preventive actions and regulatory compliance.
Cross-functional Collaboration

- Align resources to meet production and business priorities.
BD Excellence, TMS, and Continuous Improvement
- Lead the TMS cycle and set the 24-hour direction for the Manufacturing Unit.
- Sustain BD Excellence through Daily Tier Meetings (DTM), Clean/Inspect/Lubricate (CIL/CL) standards, and loss elimination practices.
- Drive short- and long-term improvements aligned with SQDCP (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, People) objectives.
Other Responsibilities
- Perform additional duties as required to support the needs of the business and site operations.
Education and Experience:
- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, or related field required. Master's Degree preferred
- 5+ years of manufacturing experience in Pharma is required.
- Minimum 3-5 years in people leadership roles
- Strong experience with FDA regulations, GMP compliance, and audit management
