Director, Process Modelling

About CSL With operations in 35 nations and 22,000 employees worldwide, CSL is driven to develop and deliver a broad range of lifesaving therapies to treat disorders such as hemophilia and primary immune deficiencies, and vaccines to prevent influenza.

Our therapies are also used in cardiac surgery, organ transplantation and burn treatment.

CSL is the parent company of CSL Behring and Seqirus.

CSL Behring is a global leader in the protein biotherapeutics industry, focused on bringing to market biotherapies used to treat serious and often rare conditions.

CSL Behring operates CSL Plasma , one of the world’s largest collectors of human plasma, which is used to create CSL’s therapies.

Seqirus is the second largest influenza vaccine company in the world and is a transcontinental partner in pandemic preparedness and a major contributor to the prevention and control of influenza globally.

We invite you to take a look at the many career possibilities available around the globe and consider building your promising future at CSL by becoming a member of our team Job Description The Global Owner of Process Modelling role is accountable for developing a global center of excellence for modelling and scale-up of processes and systems based on CSL Behring engineering standards, current regulations, and industry standards and practices for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

This leader will be responsible for developing capabilities for process modelling and simulations enabling optimization of biopharmaceutical production at multiple sites across a global network.

This role will have a wide focus requiring an understanding of how to integrate the activities of numerous areas of technical, operational, and business expertise and align them toward accomplishing common goals.

1 Develop and maintain a global center of excellence with best practices, strategies and framework enabling modelling, simulation and scale-up of processes and systems (within the scope of technology transfer and validation) based on current regulations, industry standards and industry practices for biopharmaceutical products.

Through collaboration with R&D and Process Engineering, apply a science-based approach to process modelling with an understanding of how the systems and equipment enable and control the process.

Enable data-based evaluation of options to implement process robustness improvements, innovative technologies and new processes/systems at commercial facilities Apply Lean Six Sigma approaches, in alignment with the End-2-End Operational Excellence framework, to drive efficiency biopharmaceutical processes by establishing practices that enable process and system optimization.

Lead the staff who will conduct process scaling and optimization simulations based on current process and facility knowledge to support supply chain network strategy decisions and subsequent technology transfers.

Identify and evaluate innovative technologies to enable digital transformation of CSL Behring systems and processes in parallel to capital projects and tech transfers.

Establish a recipe approach (e.g., ISA-88) to process definition to enable standardization, process platforms and right-first-time technology transfers and validations.

Collaborate with partners such as IT, Enterprise Systems, Data Analytics, and Automation to evaluate and implement technologies and procedures to enable a globally harmonized approach to data collection, modelling, simulations, system qualification and optimization of biopharmaceutical production that will enable successful technology transfer and validation.

Establish process performance metrics and provide progress reports to senior management.

Enable continuous process verification 2 Management: Directly oversee staff at multiple international sites.
