What this role is
An experienced individual contributor who supports complex chemistry, manufacturing, and controls activities with a high degree of technical proficiency and independence.

Mentors and coordinates the support team.
What this level does
- Adapts documentation and data-handling procedures for unprecedented situations — new sample types, unfamiliar study designs, or unusual health-authority information requests — determining the appropriate method where no standard exists
- Handles a wide variety of non-routine CMC records issues and conflicts, such as reconciling contradictory batch documentation across internal and CDMO/CMO partners during technology transfer
- Assembles complex CMC submission packages (marketing applications, post-approval supplements, registration renewals, responses to health authority questions) and resolves cross-document inconsistencies before scientist/regulatory sign-off
- Acts as a working lead on documentation-heavy CMC deliverables, guiding less experienced associates on filing conventions, GMP record expectations and data-entry practices
- Knowledge applied
- Extensive knowledge of CMC documentation procedures and their administration, enough to adapt them in unprecedented situations.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Understands implications of record/data issues, resolves a wide variety of non-routine conflicts, and recommends new approaches; determines methods for new assignments.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Interfaces across internal functions and CDMO/CMO partners; may informally guide less experienced associates as a working lead on deliverables.
- Typical experience
- 4–6 years; advanced CMC support experience.
Skills at this level
- CMC Documentation Compilation
- — Assembles, formats and files CMC records — test protocols, batch worksheets, stability records, IND/IMPD support sections and submission packages — per naming, filing and completeness conventions.
- GMP/GLP Records Practice
- — Maintains and reviews controlled documentation to GMP/GLP standards, checking records for completeness, correct sign-off and data integrity in a regulated manufacturing environment.
- Sample Logging & Stability Handling
- — Prepares, labels, stores and logs test samples and maintains stability pull schedules and inventories across concurrent CMC studies following handling procedures.
- Data Entry & Discrepancy Reconciliation
- — Records testing and manufacturing data into logs, spreadsheets and lab systems, and investigates and reconciles discrepancies across batch records, worksheets and log entries.
- Statistical and Trend Analysis Support
- — Collects CMC data and compiles/formats statistical and trend analyses of stability and manufacturing results to support resolution of OOS, OOT and manufacturing observations.
- Technology Transfer Documentation Coordination
- — Tracks and routes technology-transfer and manufacturing-readiness documents between internal lab/QA and external CDMO/CMO partners against project timelines.
- Regulatory Submission Support
- — Compiles data and support sections for marketing applications, post-approval supplements, annual reports, registration renewals and responses to health authority questions, resolving cross-document inconsistencies.
- Luminata (ACD/Labs) CMC Decision-Support Software
- — Uses Luminata to organize and connect analytical, process and impurity data across CMC development stages so records and justifications can be compiled and traced for submissions.
- CMC Procedure Development
- — Contributes to the creation and standardization of documentation procedures, templates and data-capture standards for CMC records within the group.
- Working-Lead Guidance
- — Guides and trains less experienced associates on CMC filing conventions, GMP record expectations and documentation workflows while leading the work rather than managing people.
- Cross-Functional Coordination
- — Works within a matrix environment to move CMC documentation and data between R&D, Manufacturing and Quality teams and external partners.
