Reporting to the Quality Validation Manager within the Quality Systems function in addition to the Heads of Quality for each Internal Manufacturing Site within the Keenova Network, the Computer Systems Validation (CSV) Lead – Global Internal Manufacturing is responsible for leading the implementation, governance, and lifecycle management of GxP computerised systems and automated systems across internal manufacturing sites within the Keenova Network.
The CSV Lead must ensure that all Computerised activities and automated systems are aligned with current Engineering and Quality standards. This includes the implementation of new systems and the reassessment of existing systems within the network.
The role ensures that CSV and Computer Software Assurance (CSA) activities are planned, executed, and sustained in alignment with applicable regulatory expectations and company procedures, supporting inspection readiness, data integrity, and reliable operations.
Roles and Responsibilities
CSV Governance & Strategy (Network)
Act as CSV subject matter expert (SME) for internal manufacturing sites, providing guidance on requirements, deliverables, and evidence expectations.
Establish and maintain a risk‑based CSV/CSA approach across the network (e.g., aligned with GAMP 5 and company CSV procedure).
Define and govern network CSV standards, templates, and best practices; drive harmonisation while allowing site‑specific implementation where justified.
Partner with Quality Systems to ensure CSV processes integrate with change control, deviation/CAPA, supplier management, and training.
System Lifecycle Management (Validation & Sustaining)
Own or govern the network inventory of GxP computerised systems (including automation systems) and ensure systems are appropriately classified and assessed.
Lead validation planning for new implementations and major changes (validation plans, risk assessments, requirements, test strategy, traceability, reports).
Ensure validated state is maintained across the lifecycle via periodic reviews, security/access reviews, audit‑trail review expectations (as applicable), backup/restore verification, and archival controls.
Oversee automation‑related and computerised system change controls, ensuring impact assessments, testing, and documentation are complete prior to release.
Ensure data integrity requirements are defined and met (e.g., ALCOA+ principles; electronic records/e‑signatures compliance where applicable).
Cross‑Functional Partnership & Operational Support
Provide CSV leadership and support to Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, Technical Operations, and IT/OT teams at internal sites.
Support capital projects through all phases (concept, design, procurement, build, commissioning/qualification, handover), ensuring CSV deliverables are integrated into project plans.
Guide system owners and SMEs on intended use, validation approach, and sustaining activities (including SOP/work instruction needs).
Drive timely closure of CSV‑related deviations, discrepancies, and CAPAs using structured problem‑solving and risk‑based decision making.
Supplier / Vendor Oversight
Assess and manage CSV/CSA deliverables from vendors and service providers (benefiting from vendor testing/documentation where appropriate).
Partner with Supplier Management to ensure vendor qualification, quality agreements, and service controls support maintaining validated state.
Ensure outsourced validation activities are appropriately scoped, executed, and documented, with clear roles and responsibilities.
Audit / Inspection Readiness
Maintain inspection‑ready CSV documentation and evidence for network sites; ensure controlled storage and retrieval.
Support internal and external audits/inspections, including preparation of responses and participation as CSV SME.
Track and report CSV compliance status and key risks to Quality leadership, including network‑level trends and recurring issues.
People, Training & Continuous Improvement
Coach site teams on CSV/CSA expectations and sustaining practices; define and deliver role‑based training where needed.
Identify and lead continuous improvement initiatives that improve compliance, efficiency, and quality of CSV deliverables.
Contribute to the development and periodic review of CSV procedures, work instructions, and templates.
Experience, Qualifications And Education Requirements
Master’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences, or equivalent.
Experience
Significant experience in CSV for GxP‑regulated systems in a pharmaceutical/biotech manufacturing environment (typical 5–10+ years, depending on seniority).
Demonstrated experience leading validation strategy and execution across multiple systems and stakeholders (multi‑site experience preferred).
Hands‑on experience with risk assessments, requirements, test strategy, and lifecycle deliverables; maintaining validated state via periodic review and change control.
Experience supporting regulatory inspections and internal audits as CSV/automation SME.
Skills / Knowledge
Strong working knowledge of applicable regulations and guidance for GxP computerised systems (e.g., EU Annex 11, 21 CFR Part 11, GAMP 5) and contemporary CSA principles.
Understanding of IT/OT in manufacturing environments (e.g., SCADA/PLC/PCS/BMS, MES, LIMS, historian/data systems) and data integrity controls (audit trails, access controls, backup/restore, archival).
Excellent technical writing and documentation discipline; able to create clear, inspection‑ready evidence.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; able to influence across Quality, Engineering, Operations, and IT.
Proven ability to prioritise workload, manage timelines, and drive closure of actions to committed dates.
Core Competencies
Quality mindset and strong focus on patient safety, product quality, and data integrity.
