Freelance Process Transfer Consultant (Vaccines)

Hybrid 3-4 days on site (Lyon, France) | Pharma/Animal Health | 9 month contract

Bien que l'expérience professionnelle et les qualifications soient essentielles pour ce poste, assurez-vous de vérifier que vous possédez les compétences non techniques souhaitables avant de postuler, si nécessaire.

We're supporting a large global animal-health business on a contract engagement running through mid-2027. A vaccine is moving to a new manufacturing site, and the analytical methods that release and monitor every batch have to move with it, fully documented and ready for the receiving site to run. That’s where you come in.

You'll be the external technical authority on the process transfer : authoring the packages, running the compliance work, setting your own timetable, with minimal oversight.

What you'll work on

• Building the technical transfer frameworks that define manufacturing execution parameters for the receiving site

• Drafting structured instructions across the fill-finish and freeze-drying steps to set clear process parameters

• Running technical interviews with subject-matter experts to capture critical process parameters and undocumented know-how

• Authoring the core transfer documentation: equipment requirements, sampling methodology, gap analyses, process validation plans

• Executing GMP compliance reviews and specification alignment with QC, Engineering and Supply Chain

• Consolidating SOPs and procedural documents into a controlled master repository, with progress reporting and handover for approval

What you'll bring:

• 5-10 years in MSAT, technical transfer, validation or GMP manufacturing, with hands-on analytical method transfer

• Strong sterile drug-product manufacturing knowledge - filling and freeze-drying especially, plus visual inspection and packaging

• Proven GMP technical authoring: transfer protocols, gap analyses, validation plans, progress reports

• Comfortable evaluating xuezdbg process data, manufacturing history, deviations/CAPA, process risks and validation evidence

• Sound project management: work-package planning, action tracking, risk management, concise reporting

• Fluent French and English

Bonus experience:

• Vaccines or biologics (animal-health a plus)

• Experience on the receiving / CMO side of a transfer, not only the sending side

• EU GMP Annex 1 / Annex 15 and ICH method-transfer literacy
