Accountable Leader for the drug product release testing within the GMP Analytics (GA) team at Pfizer's Research and Development Solid Dose Manufacturing (SDM) facility, matrix-managed a department of analytical scientists responsible for release testing and clinical stability checkpoints. Ensured compliance with policies and procedures. Supervised direct reports, managed their performance, career progression and cultivated a motivated team through goal setting, mentorship and coaching. Contributed as a member of the global GA Team Leaders' group, collaborated with peers in the UK and US on capacity planning, talent management, recruitment and strategic business development. • Successfully managed GMP readiness for Process Analytical Technology (PAT) analytical support within Continuous Manufacturing Technology (CMT). Influenced recruitment, budget, equipment commissioning and procedure authoring. Ensuring timely project implementation and effective communication with stakeholders within an accelerated project.• Successfully managed a team through adverse times, supporting the team and providing transparent communication to maintain morale and teamwork whilst continuing to deliver the business portfolio.• Developed a communication tool that standardized information sharing across departments, leveraged previous vendor management expertise to enhance project progression and reduce outsourcing errors.• Led a crossline EHS committee, empowering safety delegates to enhance health, safety and environmental practices, compliance and situational awareness across laboratory, manufacturing, warehouse and office environments.• Identified and led a global operating procedure update, eliminated bureaucratic tasks and allowed analytical method transfers via scientific rationale, enhanced efficiency and productivity.

Versatile project manager, worked independently on complex projects simultaneously to facilitate the timely completion of release testing of clinical drug products. Through collaborative partnerships with global project teams, QA and the SDM department, ensured seamless coordination of essential activities. Additionally, undertook the responsibility of a GMP data reviewer for diverse sample types and analytical techniques which required meticulous attention to detail and provided feedback to colleagues on performance. Utilised report writing skills to author laboratory investigations, procedural deviation investigations and Corrective/Preventive Actions to maintain quality and compliance. • Excellent communication skills required as project lead, communicated complex issues across the global organisation and managed partner and key stakeholder expectations. • Developed electronic Laboratory Notebook (eLN) master experiment templates to improve quality and consistency of laboratory writeups across the department. Reduced the cycle time of experiments writeups and the review.• Improved the partnership with the External Manufacturing Co-ordinators team to improve laboratory productivity. Increased the knowledge of the Manufacturing Co-ordinators and opened effective communication channels.• Improved user experience and efficiency of Labware Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) by supporting and troubleshooting for global Pfizer colleagues and international vendors. Enhanced vendor interfaces and audit history usability for GMP data reviewers.• Chaired the GMP Analytics Quality Forum, enhanced the department's quality culture by introducing key discussion topics, resolving enquiries and coordinating audits, which led to a significant reduction in technical excursions and deviation events through continuous improvement as well as addressing human factors.

• Managed registration stability programmes across the Pfizer Research & Development (PR&D) organisation for Drug Product (Solid Oral, Oral Liquids & Injectables) & Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. All registration stability testing was completed at Contract Research Organisations (CRO) across UK & Europe, which required preparation of stability protocols & documentation to allow bid & award for individual stability programs. • Supervision of 7 CROs across the lifetime of multiple stability programmes at any one time. Including the completion of analytical method transfer, review of CRO data, including oversight of Laboratory Investigations &authoring Regulatory Filings.• Communication of stability programme & analytical requirements to the CROs to ensure testing completed to required procedures &timelines efficiently. • Communication of stability strategies, project progress & issues to the compound project management team.
