Job Summary

As Advanz Pharma continues to strengthen its position as the partner of choice for specialty, hospital, and rare disease medicines, we are seeking a Manager, Artwork Development QC to join our Medical Office team.

The Manager, Artwork Development QC provides end-to-end management of quality, compliance, and timely delivery of artworks of products in the Advanz Pharma portfolio.

• Oversee multiple concurrent artwork projects and portfolios, managing scope, timelines, dependencies, stakeholders, risks, implementation dates, and workflow completion to meet business deadlines.
• Drive project performance and continuous improvement through metrics such as cycle time, right-first-time performance, review turnaround, rework, deviations, and on-time delivery.
• Serve as a pharmaceutical artwork and regulatory SME, providing expertise in packaging, labelling, compliance requirements, documentation practices, controlled change management, and implementation of evolving regulations and standards.
• Strengthen governance, systems, and process excellence by maintaining SOPs, improving artwork management systems, implementing risk-based QC approaches, identifying automation opportunities, and leading root-cause analysis and preventive actions.
• Lead and develop the Artwork QC team and stakeholder relationships, including people management, capability building, performance monitoring, vendor oversight, cross-functional collaboration, audit support, and representation in senior management reviews and inspections.
• Thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and take accountability for results.
• Embrace challenge and change, applying a growth mindset approach.
• Have a bias for action and fast decision-making.
