  • Build and input all initial required master data components, including consumables, sampling plans, specifications, parameter lists, test methods, and Laboratory Execution System (LES) templates.

  • Conduct local data cleansing activities to guarantee high data quality, accuracy, and overall data integrity.

  • Develop local work instructions (SOPs) detailing the site-level execution of global master data processes.

  • Support local data management structures and assist with ongoing software transitions and long-term user support.

What we are looking for:

  • Proven experience in data management with direct familiarity with master data setup and bulk loading processes.

  • Proficiency in using LIMS or similar data management systems; direct experience with Laboratory Execution Systems (LES) is a major plus.

  • Strong understanding of Quality Control (QC) laboratory operations, workflows, and associated data requirements.

  • Strong technical writing skills with the ability to develop clear, concise, and structured local work instructions and procedures.

  • Excellent analytical precision, high attention to detail, and problem-solving skills to enforce strict data accuracy and quality standards.
