Job description

Description Quality and Continuous Improvement LeadAbout Astellas : At Astellas we are a progressive health partner, delivering value and outcomes where needed. We pursue innovative science, focussing initially on the areas of greatest potential and then developing solutions where patient need is high, often in rare or under-served disease areas and in life-threatening or life-limiting diseases and conditions. We work directly with patients, doctors and health care professionals on the front line to ensure patient and clinical needs are guiding our development activities at every stage. Our global vision for Patient Centricity is to support the development of innovative health solutions through a deep understanding of the patient experience. At Astellas, Patient Centricity isn’t a buzzword - it’s a guiding principle for action. We believe all staff have a role to play in creating a patient-centric culture and integrating an awareness of the patient into our everyday working practices, regardless of our role, team or division. We work closely with regulatory authorities and payers to find new ways to ensure access to new therapies. We deliver the latest insights and real-world evidence to inform the best decisions for patients and their care-givers, to ensure the medicines we develop continue to provide meaningful outcomes. Beyond medicines, we support our stakeholder communities to drive initiatives that improve awareness, education, access and ultimately standards of care. The Opportunity : In this role, you will manage and oversee key business and operational processes and systems within the Functional Unit, including budget and contracts management, resource allocation, departmental information management, and tracking metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs).

Additionally, you will support LMS governance by overseeing the consistency and execution of LMS assignments internally and with vendors, represent Functional Unit training activities in various forums, and facilitate stakeholder reviews of quality documents and training curricula. Throughout, you will work independently while aligning with established processes, standards, and the Strategic Business Operations and Execution (SBOE) strategy. Hybrid Working : At Astellas we recognize that our employees enjoy having balance between their professional and home lives.

  • Knowledge of Learning Management Systems (LMS).
  • Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to multi-task and a high-level understanding of clinical study process flow from protocol creation to final clinical study report (CSR).
  • Preferred Qualification :

  • Demonstrated ability to clearly communicate goals and expectations to internal teams and external stakeholders, ensuring alignment and fostering cross-functional collaboration.
  • Proven experience in defining project goals, timelines, milestones, and managing interdependencies while holding stakeholders accountable for delivering on time and within budget.
  • Strong negotiation skills with the ability to influence decisions positively by considering diverse viewpoints and identifying alternative solutions.
  • Skilled in building consensus among stakeholders with differing perspectives, effectively resolving conflicts, and escalating issues when necessary.
  • Sound decision-making based on systematic analysis of relevant information, with the ability to provide clear rationale and avoid assumptions or premature conclusions.
  • Education / Qualification :

  • Bachelor’s Degree with relevant work experience in related fields or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in business English is essential for effective cross-country collaboration.
