Use Your Power for Purpose
Our breakthroughs would not make it to the hands of patients without our pharmaceutical manufacturing team. We rely on a team of dedicated and agile members who understand the importance and impact of their role in Pfizer’s mission. Patients need colleagues like you who take pride in their work and always look to improve outcomes. You will help to ensure that patients and physicians have the medicines they need when they need them. Your contributions will be vital in ensuring that our clinical manufacturing processes are efficient, compliant, and innovative, ultimately helping to deliver life-saving medications to those who need them most.
What You Will Achieve
You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team responsible for the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) production of non-commercial size clinical batches supporting the Pfizer Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) small molecule portfolio development. This includes, but is not limited to: supporting the manufacturing operations team, reviewing Standard Operating Procedures, executing batch records, and supporting commissioning and qualification of process equipment. Standard work will involve chemical synthesis of API, which includes these operational tasks: solid / liquid charges to vessels, atmospheric / vacuum distillations, liquid-liquid extractions, phase split, crystallization, filtrations and drying, and milling.
As part of technical operations, you will be a team member who has a strong understanding of procedures, processing techniques, tools, materials and equipment. Your decision making and collaboration with experienced colleagues will help you prioritize workflows based on the available resources. You will follow standard operating procedures to complete tasks, some of which may vary in scope, sequence, complexity and timing. You will contribute to the team’s success by utilizing previously acquired knowledge and experience, acting as a technical resource to others and working with experienced colleagues to support API manufacturing operations.
It is your hard work and focus that will help make Pfizer ready to achieve new milestones and help patients across the globe.
