QA Associate

at  Johnson Johnson

Project Pollux is the establishment of a new Janssen Supply Chain Lentiviral Vector (LVV) production facility in Sassenheim, the Netherlands, as part of Janssen Biologics B.V.
This Business Unit will become a key supplier for commercial LVV in support of the global Janssen BCMA CAR-T program for multiple myeloma, a disease affecting ~160,000 patients annually!

The Pollux business unit has been designed and has currently the following landmarks in the long-lead project plan:

• Facility construction and building, and the Commissioning and Qualification of the facility, utilities, automation, and production equipment
• Tech Transfer, introduction of process and product controls, producing PPQ batches, site approval, start routine production.

For this project we want to strengthen the Pollux Quality Department with a QA Specialist specifically to provide QA oversight over the completion of the Tech Transfer process, and start-up of the manufacturing process.
To be successful as a Quality Specialist, we need candidates who demonstrate strong communication skills, a risk-based mindset, ability to zoom out and in, and great attention to details. Ultimately, an outstanding leader who engages, is well organized and drives Quality decisions. It is an exciting opportunity to have an impact to the health of patients worldwide!
