Project Sparks - ETN PROtect Workstream Lead

This position is responsible for being the new Workstream Lead for a medical device dip coating process. The device is a product that slowly releases Gentamicin after implantation. This role focuses on building a focused team that will deliver a network transformation project against aggressive timelines. The role is being built out of a currently existing team who are already well underway with another pillar of the technology transfer but this product presents specific technical and regulatory challenges that are deserving of its own focused lead.

To deliver on this the role will have a supporting team available to cover the validation, project, design, and testing aspects of the transfer.
