Job Description

This role is perfect for someone who loves owning instrumentation, leading a small team, and keeping a GMP lab running smoothly — without being pulled into method development or deep‑dive engineering repairs. You’ll be the person the team relies on for instrument readiness, troubleshooting, documentation, and client interaction, while vendors handle the complex fixes.

You’ll gain broad exposure across QC operations, clinical supply workflows, audits, and client partnerships — a rare blend of technical oversight and leadership.

What You’ll Do

Instrumentation Ownership

Oversee and document instrument qualifications (HPLC, GC, KF, UV‑Vis)Manage instrument moves, change controls, and scheduled maintenancePerform basic troubleshooting and minor repairs to keep instruments runningCoordinate all advanced or in‑depth repairs with external vendorsRun instrument test checks to confirm readiness (no method development)Maintain instrument files, archives, and audit‑ready documentation

Leadership & Team Development

Supervise a team of five; train, coach, and develop staffSupport hiring, onboarding, and succession planningServe as the internal go‑to for instrumentation questions — reducing client escalationsBuild a positive, collaborative, high‑trust team culture

Operational & Workflow Management

Coordinate daily tasks to meet turnaround timesManage training records and ensure documentation accuracySupport protocol reviews and complete first‑level sign‑offs before client approvalHelp monitor plate readers and other QC systems

Client & Vendor Interaction

Act as a highly client‑facing representative for instrumentation and data managementWork with internal partners and external vendors to schedule maintenanceEnsure vendor documentation is complete, accurate, and compliantConfidently answer equipment‑related questions during audits

Compliance & Systems

Enter data into GMARS and other quality systemsSupport change controls, investigations, and service‑level reportingMaintain GMP/GDP compliance and inspection readiness

Why This Role Stands Out

Leadership with technical influence — guide people and instrumentation strategyNo method development — ideal for someone who prefers operational and technical oversightAdvanced repairs outsourced — you coordinate, vendors executeBroad exposure — clinical supply, audits, client interactions, and cross‑functional operations
