Key Responsibilities: 

• Assisting with the development of product development training materials to support the onboarding of new quality representatives.  

• Collaborating with department (QA) and cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., R&D, regulatory, manufacturing) to support quality initiatives and process improvements. 

• Attend department meetings.

• Engaging in training sessions and team meetings to learn about product development quality systems and regulatory compliance.  

• Create a proposal for endorsement and an implementation plan
