Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

- Produce timely, detailed and technically correct reports following assessments/audits with appropriate references cited against each observation
- Escalate identified deficiencies and compliance risks to appropriate business, operations and quality heads and, if appropriate, feed into the Operations team for inclusion into Gap Analysis
- Advise and support the sites in devising and executing remediation actions to ensure compliance to regulatory and Lonza expectations and requirements
- Approve proposed CAPA/ remediation plans, regularly review progress & effectiveness, and continue to give support in all compliance matters
- Complete and maintain the corporate internal audit/assessment documentation and follow-up/tracking system where applicable
- Perform Supplier Quality assessments/ audits of critical Suppliers and Contractors to annual plan and follow up on agreed upon CAPAs.

Key requirements:

- University/academy degree in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Microbiology, Biotechnology or equivalent
- Extensive auditing experience in GMP regulated environments, with experience specifically in some/all of:

- cell and gene therapy, aseptic product, biologics and medical device manufacture
