Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Technical Writer to support manufacturing and quality investigations for a cell therapy manufacturing program preparing for clinical and commercial scale up. This role will focus on authoring high quality, inspection ready investigation documentation in a fast paced, regulated environment with minimal ramp up time. The ideal candidate brings strong GMP investigation writing experience, a solid understanding of manufacturing and/or QC processes, and the ability to translate complex technical inputs into clear, compliant documentation without extensive training or oversight.
This is a highly execution focused role supporting a time sensitive manufacturing program.

Key Responsibilities
Investigation Documentation & Writing
• Author, revise, and finalize manufacturing and quality investigation reports, including deviations, impact assessments, and related documentation
• Translate inputs from Manufacturing, Quality, MSAT, and QC into clear, defensible investigation narratives
• Ensure all documentation meets GMP, regulatory, and data integrity standards
• Maintain consistency, clarity, and compliance across investigations in a high volume environment
Manufacturing & Quality Support
• Support investigations related primarily to manufacturing and process deviations, with potential exposure to analytical/QC investigations
• Understand manufacturing workflows well enough to accurately reflect process events, timelines, and technical context in documentation
• Partner closely with Quality and Manufacturing teams to gather information efficiently and meet aggressive timelines
Execution & Speed
• Manage multiple investigations concurrently while maintaining quality and attention to detail
• Prioritize work based on manufacturing and batch release timelines
• Adapt quickly to evolving processes, templates, and systems
