Executive - Manufacturing Quality Compliance

We have built and operationalised a small-scale GMP-capable mRNA foundry in Hyderabad to produce clinical doses for this trial, as well as others in our pipeline. We are looking to hire a new member for our Process Development Manufacturing team to help adapt cutting-edge technologies from the lab to the rigours of a cGMP-compliant production process.

All candidates must possess:

• A master s or bachelor s degree in pharmaceutical sciences, biology, biotechnology, or any other life sciences field.

• Proficiency in communicating and drafting documents such as SOPs, QMS documentation, protocols, and reports in formal English.

• Strong applied mathematical skills, including basic statistical analysis.

• A proactive learning attitude with high attention to detail.

• Ability to manage multiple documentation tasks accurately and efficiently.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• A minimum of 1 year of documentation experience in a cGMP environment within vaccines or other biologics is preferred. Specific experience with nucleic acid or nanoparticle-based products would be a significant advantage.

• In-depth understanding of cGMP requirements and regulations, along with the core principles underlying them. Experience in drafting GMP SOPs, batch manufacturing records (BMRs), production reports, and other related documents.

• Strong knowledge of pharmaceutical QMS principles, with direct experience in handling and documenting deviations, change control, CAPA, OOS, and OOT investigations.

Role Responsibilities:

• Continuously evaluate documentation processes to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to enhance efficiency and quality.

• Develop, execute, and document validation protocols in accordance with QA requirements. Prepare validation reports, investigation reports, root cause analyses, and conclusions.

• Prepare, review, and update SOPs to enhance manufacturing and quality documentation systems.

• Manage and document deviations, change controls, Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), Out-of-Specification (OOS), and Out-of-Trend (OOT) investigations.

• Collaborate with Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and other departments to ensure accurate documentation supports product development, regulatory submissions, and business objectives.

• Actively participate in internal and external audits by providing necessary documentation and ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations.

• Apply basic statistical analysis to support investigations and reporting within the QMS documentation framework.

We offer very competitive compensation, comprehensive health insurance covering immediate family (including pre-existing conditions), and, most importantly, a collaborative work environment focused on solving the cutting-edge multidisciplinary challenges of our novel mRNA platform.
