- Work with the client's quality representatives on deviation investigations, root cause analysis, and resolution
- Support the client's change management program by authoring proposed changes, running impact and regression assessments, and documenting change results and release
- Evaluate system integrations: how they're designed and built, how data flows from source to target systems, and how to test them

- Mentor and guide less experienced team members
- Communicate requirements, with the reasoning behind them, clearly in writing and in person to all levels of the client's organization
- Spot opportunities to expand the business and pass them to management for follow-up

- Hands-on experience with system design and/or configuration, and familiarity with business processes in areas such as R&D, Clinical, Quality Systems, Supply Chain, or Commercialization
- Experience with lab systems (LIMS, Empower/CDS, HPLC, GC) is a plus
- Advanced Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint skills. Intermediate Microsoft Project skills
