  • Develop and maintain procedures, business processes, work instructions, and training programs related to sterile packaging and sterilization activities.
  • Provide leadership and technical oversight for creation and approval of protocols, reports, technical justifications, and validation documentation.
  • Ensure packaging validation programs remain current, effective, and compliant at all applicable facilities.
  • Lead design transfer activities and ensure critical process parameters are defined, documented, transferred, and controlled based on process capability and risk.
  • Partner with Operations to optimize sterile packaging equipment, manufacturing processes, and production readiness while providing technical consultation to contract manufacturing partners and customers as needed.
  • Manage sterile packaging project timelines, priorities, and resource allocation to support business objectives and product launch commitments.
  • Lead investigations and corrective actions associated with post-market surveillance signals, nonconformances, and quality events related to sterile packaging.
  • Represent sterile packaging functions during customer, internal, regulatory, and certification audits.
  • Supervise, coach, and develop assigned team members and provide leadership to cross-functional project teams.
