The Analytical Technical Steward in API External Manufacturing Quality Control is a technical position helping to ensure that the analytical testing of products at multiple sites meets both Lilly and external requirements and is executed consistently to predetermined standards. The Analytical Technical Steward reviews data released by contract manufacturers according to API EM Risk Based Oversight Governance to ensure it meets internal integration and data integrity expectations, reviews deviations for trends, reviews and/or releases stability data, and leads resolution of laboratory related manufacturing issues by performing in-depth problem solving, proactively identifying opportunities for continuous improvement, and completing thorough investigations of aberrant data and results.

They may perform non-routine lab work in support of this. Additionally, the Analytical Technical Steward represents the quality laboratories on cross-functional internal and joint process teams, as well as APLOT. The Analytical Technical Steward works closely with development counterparts and GQL to ensure robust analytical control strategies are established for molecules they support.

• Technical review, interpretation, and release of data including data released from CM, stability, process validation, and reference standard characterization.

• Utilizes technical skills to lead or perform in-depth investigations for out of specification results and aberrant data. Draws conclusions and performs root cause analysis investigations and recommends solutions to prevent reoccurrence.

• Develop investigational testing protocols and perform testing as required.

• Contribute to APR, tech transfer, and process validation as required.

• Communicate effectively in both written and oral formats within the API EM organization as well as with external customers and business partners.

• Participate in internal/external audits as needed
