* To define appropriate CAPA(s), and associated Effectiveness Checks, as solutions to correct deviations and prevent future recurrence.
* Ensure cGMP compliance through the investigation process, and to drive their quality records to completion and timely closure.

* Technical writing & presentation/communication skills are key for the role. Demonstrated previous experience is a strong advantage.
* Structured, focused and well-organised working attitude. Open-minded for new ideas and suggestions; agile, highly motivated and dynamically driven.
* Ability to work with and lead a team of SMEs without formal authority, as well as to deliver projects working independently.
Company products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. We respect and protect our people and our environment. Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.
People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.
