  • establishing and maintaining a trustful and professional relationship with the different stakeholders from other departments within the company as well as with external partners;
  • the technical content of the registration dossier, by guaranteeing availability of source documentation and raw data;
  • leading and/or participating in specialized committees, as appropriate to ensure continuous improvement on departmental and project level.
