About the Role

In this role, you will be part of global IS/IT organization and act as a key resource in securing regulatory compliance across enterprise systems – with a primary focus on the new ERP program. You’ll be responsible for system validation (CSV), audit readiness, change control, and risk management, with a strong emphasis on maintaining compliance with GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5.

You will work closely with Global QA, IT, regulatory affairs, and external vendors to ensure that the new ERP platform and other digital systems are inspection-ready, properly documented, and aligned with pharmaceutical regulations and expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute validation strategies for GxP-relevant systems in accordance with GAMP 5 and biotech/pharma industry standards.

• Author and review validation documentation such as validation plans, IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, traceability matrices, and summary reports.

• Ensure systems comply with electronic records and signature regulations (21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11).

• Perform risk assessments for new systems, upgrades, and system changes, and integrate validation into the change management process.

• Maintain audit-ready documentation and support both internal and external audits, including regulatory inspections.

• Address audit findings and contribute to corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs).

• Collaborate with QA, regulatory, manufacturing, and IT stakeholders as well as external vendors to align on compliance and validation requirements.

• Provide training and guidance on validation procedures, regulatory expectations, and documentation standards.

Your Profile

We are looking for a structured and proactive specialist who thrives in a regulated environment and enjoys collaborating across functions.
You bring:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Life Sciences, Engineering, Computer Science, or similar.

• 5+ years of experience in IT compliance, system validation, or QA in biotech, pharma, or another regulated industry.

• Solid knowledge of GxP, GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11, and EU Annex 11.

• Experience with computerized system validation (CSV) and quality documentation.

• Familiarity with enterprise platforms like ERP, MES, LIMS, or QMS.

• Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.

• Proficient in English, both speaking and writing.

As a person, you are detail-oriented and accountable – and you take pride in building systems and documentation that stand up to inspection and support safe, efficient operations.
