- Maintain document retention and availability for audits and inspections.
Required Qualifications:
- Direct, hands-on experience in document control within a regulated (GMP/GxP) manufacturing environment.
- Proficiency with EDMS platforms, especially Veeva Vault.
- Demonstrated ability to manage full document workflows, including initiation, review, approval, and periodic review processes.
- Strong attention to detail and understanding of documentation compliance standards.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with additional EDMS platforms (e.g., Qumas, Documentum).
- Background in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, or biotechnology.
