  • Working knowledge of state Board of Pharmacy, DEA, and applicable FDA / GMP requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with internal audits, CAPA, deviation / complaint investigations, and supplier qualification.
  • Experience with a QMS / eQMS (e.g., TrackWise or similar) including change control, document control, training, and CAPA workflows.
  • Zendesk or comparable ticketing / case-management platform experience for issue intake, triage, and customer-impact documentation.
  • Strong attention to detail; clear written / verbal communication; ability to influence cross-functionally under time pressure.
  • Desired Attributes
