Ensure end-to-end design, execution and risk mitigation activities across Process, Formulation and Analytical work packages from FIH through commercialization.
Identify process, analytical development, and control system risks - then develop mitigation plans and enable effective and timely decisions through collaboration with Technical Development Teams and PDM partners.
Prepare annual revisions to the technical strategic plans for the products.
Take relevant decisions to direct the product team or, for decisions outside the teams' scope, escalate and steer through the appropriate PDM governance mechanisms.
Accountable for clear and timely communication to senior leadership on product activities throughout the enterprise against deliverables, timelines, and resources.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE / SKILLS
Strong influencing skills to effectively lead in a highly matrixed environment with minimal positional authority within the enterprise product teams and across PDM.

Ability to work in a dynamic environment with multiple products and modalities.
Strength in coaching and mentoring scientists and engineers across functional areas.
Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills with the ability to synthesize complex situations, illustrate conceptual paths, and facilitate discussions leading to resolution on key issues.
