The Operations Associate will be responsible for providing leadership within the area’s process team, managing projects and process improvements, acting as a liaison between operations and multiple functional groups to drive injury reduction, ensure right first time execution, and improve operational efficiency. The OA will also assist the operations team in the day to day management of the production floor and serve as acting manager when the role is absent. This is a hands-on, floor-facing role with cross-functional accountability, including on-call availability to support 24/7 manufacturing operations.
Build Safety Culture
Drive injury reduction by conducting B-safe observations at the frequency set by site targets and closing assigned corrective actions within agreed timelines.
Participate in safety patrols and contribute at least one safety improvement initiative per performance cycle.
Build a culture where safety is a personal commitment?measured in observations completed, actions closed, and initiatives launched, not incidents avoided.
Lead Quality Resolution
Lead root cause investigations when events occur on the floor: define scope, conduct structured analysis, author corrective and preventive actions, and verify their effectiveness.
Own change controls from initiation through approval, coordinating impact assessments across QA, Engineering, and Regulatory Affairs.
Maintain processes in a validated state; identify and escalate any drift from validated parameters before batch release is at risk.
Reinforce GMP and Good Documentation Practice standards through active floor presence and team coaching.
Drive Continuous Improvement in Operations
Collect, analyse, and act on metrics (cycle time, yield, OEE, cost per batch) via MSOE; own at least two improvement metric trends per quarter.
Apply Lean methodologies?value stream mapping, kaizen, standard work?to eliminate non-value-added steps in operations.
Support batch record review and product release activities, escalating technical holds with documented justification.
Serve as the technical point of contact during shift for equipment and process troubleshooting.
Represent and Connect
Engage with a cross-functional team?finding out what is coming, engaging with others, and ensuring operational requirements are integrated into project and change activity before decisions are made.
Act as the voice of the process team in capital project reviews, functional meetings, and cross-site benchmarking conversations.
Step into the Supervisor or Manager role when those positions are absent, maintaining continuity across all ongoing commitments.
Connect with equivalent roles at other Lilly sites to import best practices and share improvements.
Support 24/7 Manufacturing Operations
Be available for on-call duties to support unplanned events, emergency response, and critical production activities outside normal hours.
Provide leadership on shift when Supervisors are absent, ensuring the production floor runs safely and to schedule.
Capital Projects
Represent Production in local and major capital project teams: contribute operational requirements, review designs for GMP impact, and validate new equipment before handover.
