Job Title: Manager MSAT Device Injectables

Location: Uppsala, Sweden (Hybrid)

Job description:

In this exciting leadership role, you’ll manage a skilled team of scientists working with Device Injectables – focused on both new product implementation (NPI) and commercial production support.

Together, you’ll turn cutting-edge technologies into real-world manufacturing capabilities by applying science, solving problems, and driving continuous improvement.

You'll play a key part in bridging innovation and production – ensuring that what’s developed in R&D can be scaled, validated, and successfully transferred to manufacturing.

Key responsibilities:

As Manager MSAT Device Injectables, you and your team will:

• Lead NPI activities – from early prototyping to full-scale manufacturing

• Ensure smooth tech transfer from R&D into commercial production

• Own and optimize end-to-end assembly and packaging processes

• Ensure design solutions from engineering teams support manufacturing efficiency, reliability, and quality

• Develop and validate processes for bulk and fill-finish manufacturing of injectable device products

• Drive process validation (PV), trending, and continuous process verification (CPV)

• Provide expert technical support for daily operations, audits, and regulatory submissions

• Own change controls and ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory frameworks (LoRR, MDR, etc.)

• Be responsible for process material specifications and post-validation documentation

• Own design control documentation after product transfer to production

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with QA, Engineering, R&D, Regulatory Affairs, and external partners – helping to solve complex challenges and enable seamless production.

You’ll also serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, guiding them on best practices, systems, and process strategies to ensure high performance across functions.

Skills & Qualifications

We're looking for a pragmatic, hands-on leader with a deep understanding of injectable manufacturing — someone who thrives where science meets execution and isn't afraid to take technical ownership.

You bring experience from the shop floor to senior decision-making, and you know how to drive products from R&D into full-scale production — efficiently, compliantly, and collaboratively.

You’re likely a great match if you have:

• 8+ years in biopharma or medical device manufacturing, especially with injectables

• Solid knowledge of bulk formulation, sterile filtration, fill-finish (syringes, vials), visual inspection, and sterilization

• Strong background in tech transfer, process validation (IQ, OQ, PQ, PPQ, FAT, SAT), and commercial manufacturing

• Hands-on experience managing CAPA, deviations, audits, and documentation ownership

• Proven ability to lead process implementation, equipment qualification (including URS), and supplier collaboration — ideally with CAPEX exposure

• Familiarity with GMP, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11, and MDR

• End-to-end process responsibility: from design input to commercial readiness

• Leadership experience with at least 2 direct reports

• Excellent communicator, confident across functions like QA, R&D, Production, and Engineering

• Fluent in English (Swedish is a plus)

Bonus points if you bring:

• Skills in problem-solving frameworks (e.g. 5 Whys, FMEA, Ishikawa)

• Experience in global or matrix-driven organizations

• A project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent)
