Description Job Description



The goal⠀of Product⠀Development⠀within⠀Global⠀Product⠀Supply⠀(GPS) is⠀to develop⠀new drug⠀candidates⠀and the⠀processes⠀to⠀manufacture⠀them into⠀commercial⠀realities.⠀This is⠀achieved⠀by⠀designing⠀and⠀conducting⠀a variety⠀of⠀experimental⠀studies⠀using the⠀latest⠀scientific⠀methods⠀and state⠀of the art⠀equipment⠀and⠀instrumentation.⠀The⠀development⠀process is⠀very⠀dynamic⠀with⠀performance⠀in both⠀laboratory⠀and⠀process⠀scale-up⠀facilities.⠀Scientific⠀rigor,⠀timeliness⠀and⠀compliance⠀with all⠀GMP and⠀federal/state/local⠀regulations⠀are a⠀necessity.

In⠀order for⠀the⠀development⠀process to⠀be⠀successful,⠀there must⠀be⠀excellent⠀collaboration⠀between⠀the⠀professional⠀and union⠀staffs.⠀Often, the⠀professional⠀staff will⠀need to⠀take a⠀hands-on⠀approach⠀during the⠀course of⠀an⠀experiment⠀as⠀necessary⠀based on⠀sound⠀scientific⠀judgment.⠀Involvement⠀of the⠀union⠀staff in⠀the⠀various⠀experimental⠀studies⠀and other⠀processes⠀is⠀determined⠀by the⠀professional⠀staff on a⠀case-by⠀case basis⠀because of⠀the⠀non-routine,⠀dynamic⠀nature of⠀the⠀development⠀process.

Daily⠀assignments⠀will be⠀based on⠀demonstrated⠀technical⠀competence⠀of the⠀individual⠀operator⠀and the⠀demands of⠀the⠀process.⠀Priorities⠀will be⠀set based⠀on the⠀needs of⠀the⠀business.⠀Both⠀written⠀procedures⠀and verbal⠀instructions⠀by a⠀supervisor⠀will be⠀executed⠀with⠀strict⠀attention⠀to safety⠀and⠀quality.⠀Accurate⠀and timely⠀execution⠀and⠀documentation⠀of⠀activities⠀and⠀results⠀are a⠀requirement.⠀Strict⠀adherence⠀to GMP,⠀federal,⠀state and⠀local⠀regulations⠀is⠀required.⠀Collaborative⠀work with⠀other⠀employees⠀is a⠀necessity⠀to achieve⠀departmental⠀and⠀company⠀goals
