• Contribute to the digital transformation strategy of the facility, including MES, batch review by exception, and SMART factory initiatives.
• Ensure timely and effective communication and escalation of quality issues to appropriate levels of management.
• Develop, update, and promote Sanofi Global Quality Documentation, IFF GOPs, and global procedures.
