- Lead end-to-end project management for peptide manufacturing technology transfers, process implementation, and startup activities.

- Develop, maintain, and execute detailed project plans, timelines, milestones, and risk mitigation strategies across multiple programs.

- Coordinate the transfer of peptide manufacturing processes, including SPPS, purification, and lyophilization, from R&D or external manufacturing sites into commercial operations.

- Partner with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, and Process Development teams to ensure successful process validation and GMP manufacturing readiness.

- Serve as the primary cross-functional project lead, coordinating activities across Operations, QA/QC, Engineering, Supply Chain, and global stakeholders.

- Facilitate project meetings, drive accountability, resolve cross-functional issues, and communicate project status to leadership.

- Partner with Quality to ensure all project activities comply with cGMP requirements and support the development of SOPs, batch records, validation protocols, and other controlled documentation.

- Support facility startup activities, including equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), operational readiness, and execution of initial GMP manufacturing campaigns.

- Help establish scalable project management processes, governance, and best practices to support a growing manufacturing organization.

- Collaborate with global teams and external partners to align technical requirements, project timelines, and key deliverables while effectively managing communication across multiple time zones.
