The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Sr. Specialist of QA for QC (QAV) to provide critical quality oversight for a major operational milestone: the physical move, decommissioning, and subsequent re-qualification of our Quality Control (QC) laboratory equipment across our Norwood site buildings.

While our internal execution teams will handle the hands‑on decommissioning, commissioning, qualification, and validation (CQV) tasks, you will be the final line of defense.

  Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Engineering, or a related scientific field.
• Experience:
  
  3 to 8 years of solid CQV/Validation experience within a biotech, biopharma, or highly regulated GMP environment—ideally with a direct background in Quality Assurance or Quality Control.
• Technical Familiarity:
  Deep understanding of analytical or microbiological QC testing instruments, method validation, and method transfer.
• Digital Quality Systems:
  Proficiency with modern digital quality platforms—Kneat experience is highly preferred, alongside familiarity with change control and deviation software.
• Regulatory Knowledge: solid working knowledge of FDA, EU, and ICH guidelines.

• Quality System Oversight:
  Identify, assess, and approve deviations, change controls, CAPAs, and work orders tied directly to the instrument relocation and setup.
• Data Integrity & GDP:
  Audit QC logbooks and ensure all execution teams are strictly adhering to Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and Data Integrity guidelines.
• Compliance Leadership:
  Make real-time quality decisions to keep the project aligned with FDA, EU, and ICH regulations, as well as internal SOPs and work instructions.
