MSAT Material Management e/v/e/r/y/o/n/e

ten23 health is a human-centric and sustainable strategic partner of choice for the pharmaceutical industry and biotech start-ups for the development, manufacture, and testing of tomorrow’s medicines. We support our clients in developing differentiated, stable, usable, and safe injectable treatments for patients.

As MSAT Material Lead is responsible for the quality‑ and risk‑based assessment and continuous monitoring of all materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This includes raw materials, packaging materials, components, and product‑specific materials whose suitability and quality are essential for sterile dosage forms. The role, located within the MSAT department, ensures that materials with their critical attributes are linked  to process performance, all materials comply with regulatory requirements, are correctly maintained in the ERP system, and that appropriate actions are initiated in the event of quality issues — including communication with suppliers and customers.

• Spearhead the complete lifecycle management of materials by defining stringent quality requirements in close collaboration with QC and Development. You will evaluate new materials for aseptic processes, resolve complex quality deviations, and directly link critical material attributes (like purity and composition) to overall process performance, yield, and robustness.
• Act as a key partner to our suppliers by leading the resolution of deviations and complaints. You will actively participate in rigorous supplier qualifications, annual reviews, and audits, ensuring all quality-related communications are clear and that resulting CAPAs are successfully implemented.
• Serve as the central Subject Matter Expert (SME) bridging internal teams—including Production, QC, QA, SCM, and Engineering—with external customers. You will provide critical support on material-related inquiries and ensure that all decisions and deviations are backed by transparent, compliant documentation.
• Take absolute ownership of material-related data within our ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics). You will ensure impeccable data quality, maintain accurate material master records, and expertly coordinate the system onboarding of new materials to guarantee compliant, real-time representation.
• Safeguard our operations by executing thorough root cause analyses and driving CAPA processes to resolution. You will proactively create and maintain comprehensive risk-analytical documents (such as FMEAs) and expertly guide material-related updates through the change-control process.
• Continuously elevate our material management standards by initiating strategic improvement measures. You will develop robust material specification frameworks, contribute to cross-site standardization projects, and drive ongoing enhancements in material quality, supplier performance, and production safety.

We are looking for a dedicated professional who combines scientific expertise with rigorous quality standards to drive excellence in a dynamic pharmaceutical landscape. Here is what you will be bringing to our team:

• Degree in a scientific, technical, or pharmaceutical field (e.g., Pharmacy, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Quality Management, Packaging Technology).
• Solid background in a GMP environment, ideally within Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Supply Chain, or Material Management.
• Deep knowledge of material or supplier qualification and regulatory requirements (EU GMP, FDA, ICH), coupled with a strong inherent awareness of quality and risk.
• Experienced with ERP systems (specifically Microsoft Dynamics) and master data processes, as well as proficient use of core quality tools (Deviation Management, CAPA, Change Control).
• Highly structured and analytical working style with the resilience and competence to solve complex problems in a dynamic environment.
• Confident communicator with internal and external stakeholders, bringing a strong team orientation, assertiveness, and a deep sense of responsibility to the role.
