Good practical understanding of GMP computerized or automated systems (such as DCS/SCADA, MES, ERP/SAP, historians or laboratory systems) and biopharma manufacturing processes

Strong leadership presence and the ability to influence credibly in a matrix environment

An excellent mindset: resilient, collaborative, accountable, and solution-oriented

Clear, concise communication and the ability to bring structure to complex topics

Full professional fluency in French and English
