Duties/Responsibilities
Build and maintain a master CMC project plan (MS Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent), identifying task interdependencies, critical path, and monitoring mechanisms for schedule risk.
Design and implement AI-assisted or automated tools (e.g., dashboard automation, natural-language status summarization, predictive risk flagging) to reduce manual reporting effort and increase real-time visibility into program health.
Publish recurring dashboards and executive-ready reporting to align the team on progress, critical path changes, and emerging risks.
Actively participate in CMC team meetings — set agendas, capture minutes, track action items, and drive follow-through.
Maintain the CMC risk register; apply a structured framework for risk identification, scoring, mitigation, and escalation, and facilitate risk review forums.
Partner with Regulatory, Process Development, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality representatives to ensure RtQ/PAC commitments are clearly defined, assigned, and tracked.

Establish scalable, repeatable processes and tooling standards that improve transparency, accountability, and execution speed across CMC programs.
Lead or contribute to special projects involving process improvements, change management, and operational efficiency.
