As Associate Director, Packaging Tech Transfer Lead, you will drive the transfer of packaging technologies across AstraZeneca's diverse product portfolio, working with pioneering products and cross-functional teams around the world. This is a unique opportunity to influence strategic decisions, shape future ways of working, and deliver medicines safely and reliably to patients!\n \nYour role and accountabilities\nIn this role, you will:\nLead packaging technology transfers for vials, APFS, and autoinjector presentations across internal and external manufacturing sites.\nOwn end-to-end transfer activities, including labelling, secondary packaging, device assembly, documentation, readiness, and implementation.\nAssess site capabilities and readiness, including equipment, process fit, capacity, technical maturity, materials, and operational risks.\nDevelop robust transfer plans in collaboration with Technical Operations, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Regulatory, Device teams, Drug Product, Engineering, and external partners.\nEnsure GMP and regulatory compliance by embedding quality, risk management, and inspection readiness into transfer activities.\nProvide oversight of packaging process readiness, including line readiness, process validation considerations, comparability, material readiness, and transfer documentation.\nSupport device and combination product transfers, considering the interfaces between the primary container, device components, assembly operations, packaging configuration, and market requirements.\nConsider drug product requirements and their impact on packaging configuration, handling, process conditions, product protection, and transfer strategy.\nContribute to shipping qualification and distribution readiness, including transport validation, distribution conditions, and product protection requirements.\nLead risk and issue management by identifying critical risks, defining mitigation plans, and calling out decisions when needed.\nInfluence strategic decisions related to transfer approach, site selection, execution priorities, and risk management.\nDrive continuous improvement by simplifying, standardizing, and improving packaging transfer processes, governance, and ways of working.\nChampion digital enablement, including the use of Digital TT and other digital tools to improve visibility, data quality, knowledge management, and execution efficiency.\nLead through a matrix organization, creating clarity, aligning stakeholders, and maintaining momentum across functions, sites, countries, and external partners.\n\n Essential requirements\nYou will bring:\nSignificant experience (typically 5-10 years) within CMC, pharmaceutical packaging, technology transfer, manufacturing science and technology, technical operations, or a related field, supported by a Bachelor's or equivalent in a relevant scientific or engineering field.\nProven experience leading packaging technology transfers involving vials, APFS, autoinjectors, or similar presentations, with a strong understanding of labelling and packaging operations, device assembly where applicable, and associated transfer requirements.\nStrong technical knowledge of GMP, quality systems, regulatory expectations, and manufacturing environments, including line readiness, validation, change control, process performance, material flows, and operational risk management.\nExperience assessing manufacturing site capabilities and readiness, including technical fit, operational capacity, execution risk, and the successful planning and delivery of manufacturing transfers.\nA solid understanding of drug product considerations relevant to packaging transfers, including the relationship between formulation, primary packaging, process conditions, product protection, shipping qualification, and distribution requirements.\nDemonstrated leadership, influencing, and communication skills, with the ability to lead through ambiguity, engage stakeholders without direct authority, and explain complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.\nStrong collaboration skills and experience working across functions, cultures, geographies, and organizational boundaries to deliver business outcomes.\nAn improvement attitude with the ability to simplify processes, develop scalable ways of working, and embrace digital tools and digital ways of working, particularly Digital TT.\n\n \nDesirable requirements\nExperience with combination products, biologics packaging, or other complex pharmaceutical product environments, including device-related manufacturing and assembly operations.\nExperience leading transfers across internal manufacturing sites and external contract manufacturing organizations, supporting global supply networks, product launches, and lifecycle change management.\nExperience working with Global CMC teams and translating CMC priorities into practical transfer plans, supported by experience using digital technology transfer tools or similar systems to manage transfer activities, data, actions, and documentation.\n\nWhat's next\nOwn the transfers that keep medicines on shelves and
