Develop stability protocols, technical reports, and regulatory documentation: Create, review, revise, and approve stability protocols and reports within the scope of assigned responsibilities. Contribute to the preparation and review of stability-related sections for regulatory submissions, ensuring scientific accuracy, data integrity, and alignment with current regulatory requirements. Coordinate external laboratory testing and data management: Organise and execute stability sample shipments to external testing laboratories, supporting appropriate sample tracking and documentation. Request, retrieve, and review stability testing data and reports from external vendors and shared repositories, ensuring internal stability binders, databases, and study records remain accurate and complete. Maintain laboratory operational readiness: Perform essential laboratory support activities, including reagent preparation, sample management, routine equipment maintenance, laboratory housekeeping, and the ordering, stocking, and management of QC consumables and supplies. Help maintain a safe, organised, and inspection-ready laboratory environment. Support analytical troubleshooting and technical development: Assist with investigations into analytical assay performance, method-related issues, and laboratory equipment problems. Share technical knowledge with colleagues and support more junior laboratory staff through data review, training, and troubleshooting activities. Contribute to quality investigations and continuous improvement: Participate in the preparation and execution of quality system records, including investigations, deviations, change controls, and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs). Author and revise SOPs, technical protocols, and reports while identifying opportunities to improve laboratory workflows, analytical reliability, and stability program execution. Uphold GMP compliance and data integrity: Execute laboratory and stability activities in accordance with applicable GxP regulations, internal policies, SOPs, and work instructions. Apply Good Documentation Practices and data integrity principles to ensure analytical results, electronic records, and supporting documentation are accurate, complete, traceable, and readily available for regulatory audits and inspections. Explore digital innovation in analytical quality control: Contribute to opportunities to enhance stability data management, analytical trending, scientific knowledge sharing, and laboratory efficiency through digital tools, advanced analytics, and appropriately approved Generative AI-enabled technologies, while maintaining strict GxP compliance and data integrity requirements. Maintain training and technical competency: Complete all assigned training within defined timelines, including required requalification activities. Continuously strengthen technical knowledge of analytical methods, laboratory systems, regulatory expectations, and evolving scientific practices. Foster collaboration and scientific excellence: Work collaboratively across Quality Control, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and external testing partners to support effective analytical testing and stability program delivery. Promote a positive, inclusive culture that values scientific curiosity, innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement. Contribute to special projects and broader QC priorities: Support additional scientific, analytical, quality, or stability-related projects as assigned, bringing technical expertise, flexibility, and a proactive approach to delivering results.
