QC Scheduler

About the role

Responsibilities

• Govern the baseline central schedule across six QC laboratories and plan testing for patient demand, release, stability, raw materials, validation, and manufacturing.
• Coordinate scheduling inputs across HPLC, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Raw Materials, and Sample Control.
• Assess method, equipment, reagent, material, analyst, sample-readiness, and operational constraints with QC teams.
• Report and analyze schedule adherence, turnaround time, backlog, capacity utilization, cycle time, and other performance measures.
• Coordinate priorities and schedule constraints with Sample Control, Manufacturing, Planning, Warehouse Operations, and QC laboratories.
• Create scenario plans and respond to manufacturing changes, expedited or repeat testing, equipment downtime, analyst constraints, and sample-readiness changes.
• Maintain scheduling master data and refresh or reconcile data from SAP, LabWare LIMS, MODA, Veeva/V8, Databricks, and other approved sources.
• Configure Smartsheet scheduling inputs and review schedules, dashboards, and alerts for risks, overdue work, expiries, conflicts, and review-step flags.
• Document and communicate manual overrides with laboratory managers and subject-matter experts.
• Account for quality-system and compliance constraints, including SOP changes, deviations, investigations, change controls, validation, method transfers, equipment changes, and regulatory commitments.

Role requirements

• Coordinate planning across six QC laboratories and work with QC operations and laboratory subject-matter experts.
• Understand operational factors affecting schedule feasibility, including execution needs, method and equipment constraints, and reagent or material readiness.
• Maintain QC scheduling data and coordinate data refreshes from approved laboratory, business, and analytics systems.
• Maintain Smartsheet settings, review scheduling outputs, and document necessary manual overrides.
• Incorporate quality-system and compliance constraints into scheduling.
