- Support validation deliverables and change control processes for regulated systems.
- Ensure accuracy, security, and compliance throughout the label lifecycle.
- Provide hands-on support during transitions, system upgrades, and site enablement projects.
- Assist with troubleshooting high-priority incidents and participating in cross-team triage.
- Identify opportunities to improve labeling processes, tooling, and documentation.
Requirements: - Expert-level proficiency with Bartender, including design, automation, and server components.
- Strong Visual Basic / VBScript skills applied to label automation and dynamic behavior.
- Strong troubleshooting skills in complex labeling ecosystems involving MES, ERP, and printing hardware.
- Experience in biotech, pharma, or cell therapy supply chain, with familiarity in materials management, batch/lot control, serialization, and regulated operations.
- Ability to collaborate with global cross-functional teams and translate requirements into technical label specifications.
- Experience supporting systems and processes within a GMP-regulated environment.
