In this role, you will:
• Define and drive testing and quality engineering strategy across programs, including GxP, lean validation, risk‑based testing (CSA/RBT), automation, and quality metrics.
• Lead GxP validation and compliance activities, including change management, audit readiness, and regulatory documentation support.
• Embed quality engineering within SDLC and SAFe Agile, guiding scenario‑based discussions, test estimation, and release readiness.
• Manage and govern automation solutions (UI, API, data, regression) integrated with CI/CD pipelines and Agile/SAFe delivery frameworks.
• Provide leadership across key enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, SAP, Veeva Vault, LIMS, Patient Engagement systems, and Pharmacovigilance solutions.
• Define, track, and communicate Agile and quality metrics—including velocity, predictability, defect trends, and automation ROI—to senior stakeholders.
• Develop and deliver executive‑level presentations, manage multiple concurrent workstreams, and quickly adapt to shifting priorities.
