Facilitate technical and programmatic discussions, ensuring decisions, assumptions, requirements, interfaces, and resulting actions are clearly documented and driven to closure.
Establish program structures—including scope, priorities, schedules, responsibilities, dependencies, metrics, and management reporting—for complex cross-functional initiatives.

Maintain visibility and accountability for document priorities, assigned actions, dependencies, due dates, approvals, and implementation requirements, and drive actions to completion.
Lead cross-functional efforts to develop, reorganize, and standardize Operations procedures, forms, and related documentation to improve clarity, usability, consistency, and alignment with applicable quality requirements.
Work with subject matter experts and functional teams to translate technical and operational needs into effective documentation solutions, using available tools and technologies to improve efficiency and document quality.

Key Qualifications & Skills:

Bachelor’s degree in a technical, scientific, knowledge management or related field.
Three or more years of progressively responsible experience in technical program coordination, engineering or scientific operations, information management, document systems, project management, procedure development, or another function requiring organization of complex technical work.
Experience in a regulated, quality-controlled, or similarly structured environment with a clear understanding of controlled-document lifecycles, revision and version control, records retention, and good documentation practices is preferred. cGMP experience is a plus.
Demonstrated ability to quickly understand complex scientific, engineering, manufacturing, or operational subject matter and organize that information into logical systems, plans, requirements, or documentation.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive technically complex activities to completion, including situations where the position does not have direct supervisory authority over team members.
Strong systems-thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to recognize relationships among technical requirements, processes, organizations, information, and supporting systems.
Ability to work effectively with highly accomplished scientists, engineers, and technical specialists; ask thoughtful questions; challenge assumptions constructively; and facilitate resolution of differing technical perspectives.
Strong organizational and program-management capability, including establishing priorities, defining responsibilities, managing interfaces and dependencies, tracking commitments, and communicating status and risks to management.
High technical aptitude and demonstrated curiosity regarding new technologies, software platforms, automation, artificial intelligence, and information-management methods.
Strong technical writing, editing, and proofreading skills, including the ability to identify apparent inconsistencies, conflicts, or missing information in technical material.

Strong project management mindset to manage multiple document workflows, track actions and due dates, and drive activities to completion.
Proficient with Microsoft Office and SharePoint. Experience with Confluence, Jira, electronic document-management systems, or quality-management systems is preferred.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
