Position Brand Description: 

The Lilly Scientist - API/Dry Product Network is rapidly expanding to meet the demand for new products, and several new greenfield sites are under construction and will be starting up in the coming years. The new sites are staffed based on full-scale, steady state production, however additional surge capacity is needed to support the site start-up and help quickly ramp to full capacity rates.  

The Scientist - ADN RAMP (Rapid Access to Medicines for Patients) team is a cross-functional team that will bring deep manufacturing expertise and will support each site start-up through Operational Excellence knowledge, rapid troubleshooting and problem-solving capability, and surge capacity resources. This unique opportunity will enable team members to work at our new sites, create a larger Lilly network, build and use their technical skills, and learn leadership skills through formal training and on-the-ground experiences. This team will also build strategies to help other new Lilly sites to start up faster, helping to accelerate Lilly’s vision of serving more patients.  

Success in this challenging role will require supporting the sites through startup, through direct technical execution, coaching next employees, and strong collaboration – and development of the local technical and operational teams to be ready for full operation. 

The team will directly report through their respective functions but will be coordinated by the Ramp Team Sr. Director.   

Key Objectives/Deliverables: 

Responsible for support of site star-up within TSMS through documentation preparation and review; monitoring of the processes through start-up/validation and on-going manufacture and establishing strong deviation investigation support and technical writing, as follows: 

• Work with the Process Teams in support of start-up of processes – providing hands-on support of documentation preparation, review and approval. 

• Understand the electronic batch record, process flow document (PFD) and validation of the process of process/product being supported. Ensure the PFD accurately describes the process, control strategy, process parameters, CQAs and references to supporting material.
