audit readiness Challenge and redesign how training is delivered - accelerating time-to-competency for operators working in complex, technically demanding biological manufacturing environments Lead the digital transformation of training - LMS evaluation and implementation, automation, data-driven KPIs, and increasingly AI applied to learning Act as a strategic partner to Manufacturing, QA and People - not an executor of someone else's plan What we're looking for You'll have a strong manufacturing or operations background - ideally in pharma, biotech, or a similarly regulated environment - and you'll have built up genuine training, qualification or capability-building experience alongside it. The strongest profiles tend to come from: Production Manager or Operational Excellence Manager who has owned training/capability-building as part of the role Continuous Improvement Manager with a qualifications or validation background Manuf
