| Description |
As a Production Team Lead, you will be responsible for the daily production of personalized cell therapies for both clinical and commercial use in a sterile cGMP environment. You will coordinate the different units within the CAR-T process and ensure that all activities are carried out safely and in full compliance with cGMP requirements — while steering and organizing the operations from your office-based workspace, keeping a strong overview of the production flow and acting as the central point of coordination for the team. If you don't have prior leadership experience yet, that is also okay. What you can expect: - Coordinate and supervise operational units within the CAR-T manufacturing process, including component preparation, production support, CAR-T processing, filling & finishing, and cryopreservation.
- Act as the first point of contact for production issues and collaborate closely with Manufacturing Operations, QC IPC, Quality, Facilities & Engineering, MS&T/Manufacturing Excellence, Training, Planning, and Supply Chain.
- Serve as a domain expert for Quality and Operations in cGMP environments and play a key role during GMP inspections and external audits.
- Manage all quality-related production aspects, including procedures, work instructions, logbooks, transfer forms, batch record review and release, and overall cGMP compliance.
- Coordinate quality system activities such as Change Controls, Deviations/Events, and CAPA.
- Ensure proper training of team members and promote a culture of continuous learning.
- Drive operational excellence by initiating improvements that increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall quality.
