Provide upstream and downstream technical expertise and leadership across the biologics portfolio, including lifecycle initiatives to enable supply continuity, risk management, line extensions/discontinuations, tech transfers, global expansions/contractions, and regulatory activities. Ensure technical continuity of biologics drug substance manufacturing processes over time and across multiple manufacturing sites. Serve as a subject matter expert in commercial biologics drug substance processes, including mammalian cell culture and antibody production. Lead complex technical investigations and multi-site process improvement projects that span products, sites, and functions. Partner with site Manufacturing Sciences (MS) teams on process improvement and Life Cycle Management (LCM) projects. Collaborate with Biologics Process Development on process improvements and other LCM projects, providing technical input to translate development knowledge into commercial robustness. Shape and align CMC content for multi-site products, including authoring and reviewing regulatory filings and maintaining control strategy documents. Drive process knowledge sharing across sites to support consistent execution, strong control strategies, and effective LCM. Apply industry trends and innovation in bioprocessing to propose and implement practical process improvements and LCM initiatives. Represent Bio Process Sciences on cross-functional and product governance teams, influencing decisions and aligning on effective product lifecycle strategies. What you bring to
