  • Support new customer onboarding, technology transfers, and implementation of new packaging capabilities required to support future business growth and evolving customer requirements.
  • Ensure packaging areas maintain inspection readiness and meet safety, housekeeping, and environmental requirements.
  • Ensure all employees are appropriately trained and qualified for assigned responsibilities and that training documentation is maintained in accordance with organizational and regulatory requirements.

  • Proven ability to drive operational excellence, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) environment.
  • Strong leadership, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, drive accountability, and effectively interact with customers, regulators, and all levels of the organization.
