About the Position

You will work closely with the exciting and dynamic production and be present “where it happens.” Daily, you will participate in cross-functional discussions at the production line and make balanced decisions on how production should proceed based on quality aspects. Approving protocols from manufacturing and thus being responsible for ensuring our products meet the right quality and requirements is also part of your everyday work.

The work is independent and the tasks are broad, giving you great opportunities for personal learning, and as a representative for your area, courage, commitment, determination, and integrity are needed.

We have close cooperation within our groups as well as with other support functions such as quality control, microbiology, process engineering, and maintenance, therefore high demands are placed on flexibility and good communication skills. Your position may be challenged, and you need to be able to justify your decisions well with both conviction and humility.

Who Are You?

• Scientific university or college degree of at least 4 years including a course in Microbiology 7.5 credits.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Experience in manufacturing, microbiology, quality control, quality assurance of pharmaceuticals, regulatory inspections, or validation/qualification is meritorious. Knowledge of LEAN is also beneficial. We would like you to have an interest in technology, systems, and processes.

To succeed in the role, you are a positive and solution-oriented person who enjoys a large network and broad collaboration across different functions.
