- Define and execute business acceptance criteria for AI-generated CMC content, including accuracy, completeness, consistency, source alignment, and traceability
- Participate actively in solution-design decisions, challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and recommend practical solutions rather than simply documenting requirements

Candidate should understand how scientific and manufacturing information progresses from source data and technical documentation into CMC regulatory submission content
- Experience working with CMC scientists, engineers, analytical scientists, and/or Regulatory CMC stakeholders
- Ability to translate complex scientific/regulatory processes into implementable technology requirements
- Demonstrated ability to analyze issues, evaluate alternatives, challenge assumptions, and influence solution decisions
