Sample management and team coordination: Lead a small team of 2–3 staff members, supervise daily sample management activities, and coordinate workloads, staffing coverage, and priorities. Oversee sample receipt, accessioning, labeling, reconciliation, storage, distribution, shipment, retention, and disposition in accordance with approved procedures. Maintain sample traceability, chain of custody, and accurate inventory and location records throughout the sample lifecycle.

Coordinate study initiation, sample placement, scheduled pulls, testing submissions, and study closure in accordance with approved stability protocols. Track time-point completion and documentation status, communicate upcoming milestones, and promptly escalate missed pulls, storage excursions, or other discrepancies.
Sampling plans and testing specifications: Generate, revise, and maintain sampling plans and testing specifications in collaboration with relevant manufacturing functions and Quality Assurance. Define sample types, quantities, containers, sampling points, storage and shipping conditions, required tests, and applicable acceptance criteria based on approved requirements. Coordinate review and approval, maintain version control, and ensure current documents are available before sampling and testing activities begin.
Stability protocols and records: Generate, revise, and maintain stability protocols defining study design, storage conditions, time points, sample quantities, testing requirements, and applicable acceptance criteria in alignment with approved program requirements. Coordinate protocol review, approval, and amendments; maintain study records; and compile testing results and supporting documentation for review by designated technical and quality personnel.
GMP documentation and systems: Author, revise, and review SOPs, forms, and records supporting sample management and stability administration.

Cross-functional and client coordination: Serve as a primary contact for sample logistics and stability administration. Coordinate sampling requirements, testing submissions, external laboratory shipments, turnaround times, and documentation deliverables with internal departments, clients, and contract laboratories. Communicate clear status updates, track outstanding actions, and follow through to closure without assuming responsibility for execution of analytical testing.
Deviations, training, and continuous improvement: Lead or support investigations related to sample handling, inventory discrepancies, storage conditions, stability scheduling, and documentation errors.

Quality focus: Strong quality mindset and meticulous attention to detail, with knowledge of GMP documentation, data integrity, and sample traceability requirements. Ability to identify discrepancies, support investigations and CAPAs, and maintain complete, accurate, inspection-ready records.
Organization, multitasking, and leadership: Experience leading a small team of 2–3 staff members is required. Exceptional organizational, planning, and time-management skills, with demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple projects, maintain detailed schedules and trackers, and meet competing deadlines without compromising accuracy.

Communication and collaboration: Effective verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear sampling plans, testing specifications, stability protocols, and status updates. Ability to coordinate requirements with clients, internal teams, and external laboratories, communicate changing priorities promptly, and resolve scheduling and documentation issues collaboratively.
