Job description
Help build the digital backbone of next-generation biopharma. As our System Manager, you will own and elevate core Product Technology platforms-PDLM, ELN, and Risk Management-that power Process Development and MSAT. You'll translate real-world science into robust, compliant digital solutions, weave data integrity through every workflow, and enable a new, standardized way of working across global teams., If you're passionate about turning complex requirements into elegant, validated systems-and you thrive in a collaborative, matrixed environment-this role is your opportunity to make a visible impact on tech transfer timelines, batch right-first-time performance, and regulatory readiness.
Why you'll love it here
- Shape how development knowledge (DoE, QbD) flows into manufacturing execution and CPV
- Own high-value platforms with direct line of sight to business outcomes
- Partner across PD, MSAT, Automation/Engineering, QA/Validation, and IT/OT
- Drive standardization at scale with class-based, globally reusable configurations
- Operate with autonomy while influencing best practices across sites

Preferred Requirements
- Experience in manufacturing or process development systems preferred (MES/LIMS/QMS/data platforms)
- Preferred experience in pharmaceutical industry, IT CSV
- Familiarity with ISA-88/ISA-95 standards and digital recipe/data modelling
- Certifications: GxP/CSV (e.g., ISPE/GAMP), Agile/Scrum, ITIL, PMP/PRINCE2, or data integrity.
What you'll bring
- Deep understanding of PDLM/PLM and ELN platforms and their application to Process Development/MSAT
