Are you energized by the challenge of designing innovative ways to use Engineering, Process Analytics Technologies, Automation and Modelling to develop medicines for patients? If so, this Technology Development and Process Engineering opportunity could be an exciting opportunity to consider.

GlaxoSmithKline is a world leading research-based pharmaceutical company that combines both individual talent and technical resources to create a platform for the delivery of strong growth in a rapidly changing healthcare market. Our mission is to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.

Drug Product Development (part of the wider Medicine Development and Supply organization) is a highly experienced Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) organization accountable for delivering robust, cost effective and competitive products and manufacturing processes spanning the full life-cycle of asset development from discovery through commercialization. These activities are delivered through state-of-the-art internal facilities as well as strategic external partners. Collectively, the team is accountable for CMC activities encompassing both small molecule and biopharm drug product/ device development and packaging. We also pioneer innovative technologies to improve robustness, reduce cost of goods, and improve the patient experience.

As a Scientific Leader, you will employ knowledge and experience of drug product unit operations, Process Engineering, and modelling to assess, develop and implement new manufacturing platforms and support scale-up, technology transfer and manufacture of Biopharmaceutical drug product through to commercialization. You will work very closely with automation experts and data scientists to enable efficiencies across all drug product development work packages. The role may require management of a direct report or reports.

This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career, these responsibilities include some of the following… (comes from key responsibilities on job eval)

Work as process engineering and analytics (PE&A) lead in a multi-disciplinary development team, liaising efficiently with Formulators, Modellers, Process Analytical Technology (PAT) Scientists, automation experts, data scientists and device engineers, to deliver the work packages required to understand drug product unit operations and scale these-up effectively.
Actively participate in technical reviews on projects, lead the technical transfer of processes, prepare functional project plans, and ensure timely execution. Contribute to CMC and MPD team planning and objective setting, agreeing priorities and coordinating PE&A activities that support delivery of objectives.
Ensure proper Process Engineering decisions are taken at appropriate milestones within the project plan to accelerate early phase formulation and process design and minimize number of DOE’s for scalability assessments and API consumption throughout the development life-cycle.
Author sections of regulatory documents relevant to Process Engineering platforms (IND / IMPD submissions, marketing applications, CMC briefing etc.).
Make innovative contributions to the department by leading platform development workstreams to assess, develop and implement new manufacturing platforms and establishing control strategies. Be accountable for platform robustness across the portfolio.
The job holder may act as an expert in specific unit operations. As such, they will be expected to master a body of knowledge for that unit operation and use this to act as the functional expert in the department. This expertise will be focused on platform and process primarily within the sterile biopharm portfolio
Be technically persuasive both within GSK, for example, at project governance, with peers in other departments, or externally, with the academic community. Ensure appropriate scientific review is in place throughout development and prior to key Project milestones. Prepare and deliver Process Engineering and Analytics-relevant sections of technical and governance presentations and respond to resulting questions. Identify and escalate Process Engineering and Analytics-related risks at scientific reviews and through governance processes.
Advance scientific understanding and improve current ways of working in field of expertise by actively championing deployment of new automation and PAT tools and models for drug product development, participating in internal or external technical focus networks, external collaborations with academics, and applying knowledge of the current literature.
Enable sound decisions by your influence in matrix teams and technical governance, through depth of technical knowledge and effective communication, to collaborate actively with R&D Pilot Plants and Global Supply Chain manufacturing sites
Deliver the above in a precise and timely manner, adhering to safety and quality expectations. Comply with the requirements of Quality, Safety and GSK policies and procedures and ensure that GSK intellectual property is protected.
