Overview:

• Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and resolve problems as they arise.
• Ensure accurate data entry, validation, and data integrity within the system.
• Implement data quality checks, reporting mechanisms, and develop custom dashboards and reports.
• Support integration of LIMS with laboratory instruments and other systems.
• Analyze laboratory processes, design efficient workflows, and identify opportunities for automation.
• Train laboratory staff on LIMS functionality and best practices, building user proficiency.
• Act as a liaison between laboratory teams and the global LIMS implementation team.
• Assist in drafting and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Provide ongoing technical support, answer user questions, and ensure regulatory compliance (FDA, GLP, GMP).
• Perform additional lab-related activities as assigned, which may include:
• Environmental monitoring, sampling, sterility testing, aseptic technique qualifications, and process validations.
• Verification, documentation, and filing of test reports and batch records.
• Submitting samples for chemical assays and microbial testing.
• Supporting audits and preparing monthly/quarterly reports.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree required.
• 3-5 years of relevant laboratory or LIMS experience.
• Strong background in chemistry or microbiology highly preferred.
• Direct Labware experience strongly preferred; Certified Labware Administrator credential ideal.
• Previous LIMS-specific experience (training, implementation, SME role) required. Candidates with a mix of LIMS user experience and strong project/implementation management will also be considered.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Extensive knowledge of laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
• Strong understanding of laboratory methods, applications, instrumentation, and quality systems.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements (FDA, GLP, GMP).
