Bioprocess Analytical Technology Deployment Scientist

Randstad, as the EMEA Johnson & Johnson talent acquisition partner, is responsible for finding and contracting talent for the contingent roles at Johnson & Johnson. If you are selected for a role you will be engaged or employed by one of the Randstad recruitment companies in EMEA and will not be an employee of Johnson & Johnson.

Role: Bioprocess analytical technology deployment scientist.

Location: Leiden, hybrid.

Duration: 12 months. Imagine your next project collaborating with local and global functions to drive the adoption and local execution of advanced manufacturing technologies across a leading biotherapeutics network. The role resides in the Global MSAT Biotherapeutics Strategy & Deployment (S&D) team. The S&D team is responsible for the implementation of advanced technologies and innovations into our manufacturing processes. S&D coordinates and manages the deployment of advanced manufacturing technologies and innovations with site functions and product teams, is accountable for deployment strategy, drives the value proposition and value capture, and supports the long-term adoption of mature technologies across the Biotherapeutics network.

The team structure is based on a boots-on-the-ground principle, with team members locally present at our key manufacturing sites. In this role, you will be a Leiden representative of the S&D team, collaborating with local and global functions to implement advanced manufacturing technologies at the Leiden site. Current technology deployments include inline UV for protein determinations, automated column integrity testing, Raman-based process monitoring and automated feeding solutions.

These technology projects are globally managed and locally executed, and you will play a key role in ensuring successful local implementation while aligning with the global deployment strategy. A significant part of the role will focus on advancing Raman and inline UV capabilities across the Leiden manufacturing site. You will collaborate with site subject matter experts, product teams, and technology vendors to enable successful deployment, drive adoption, and identify opportunities to maximize business value from these technologies.

Roles and responsibilities: - Act as a Leiden representative of the S&D team, collaborating with local and global functions to implement advanced manufacturing technologies at the Leiden site. - Coordinate and manage the deployment of globally managed and locally executed technology projects, including inline UV for protein determinations, automated column integrity testing, Raman-based process monitoring, and automated feeding solutions. - Play a key role in ensuring successful local implementation while aligning with the global deployment strategy. - Focus significantly on advancing Raman and inline UV capabilities across the Leiden manufacturing site. - Collaborate with site subject matter experts, product teams, and technology vendors to enable successful deployment, drive adoption, and identify opportunities to maximize business value from these technologies. - Drive the value proposition and value capture, supporting the long-term adoption of mature technologies across the Biotherapeutics network.

How to succeed: - Degree: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. pharmaceutical, engineering, technology etc.) and 3 years work experience. - Change and Stakeholder Management: The candidate is a change agent who can drive the adoption of new technologies while effectively collaborating with and influencing diverse local and global stakeholders. Strong communication and alignment skills are essential. - New Technology Introduction: The candidate has experience introducing new technologies, preferably PAT and advanced process control solutions, into a GMP manufacturing environment.

Experience with Raman spectroscopy, inline UV, or similar technologies is an advantage. The candidate understands how to define value propositions, implementation strategies, and value capture plans. - DS Manufacturing Processes: The candidate has a strong understanding of Drug Substance (DS) manufacturing processes and how advanced technologies can be applied to improve process robustness, operational efficiency, and process understanding. - Project management: The candidate has strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks, manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines.

Strong strategic thinking and ability to develop and execute deployment strategies that align with business objectives. - Technical writing: The candidate has proficiency in authoring technical documents and providing guidance on technical matters.
