Position Overview

This position provides critical support for federal-regulation-mandated documentation and quality control/assurance necessary to operate and maintain NIH's Aseptic Processing Facilities (APFs) and Biosafety Level (BSL) containment facilities. The Regulatory Document Coordinator and Training Manager will manage the full lifecycle of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), and Training Modules for DFOM's APF and BSL operations — from initial drafting through periodic review, revision, approval routing, controlled distribution, and eventual retirement or archival. The role maintains detailed version control, authorship, revision history, and approval-status records within NIH's document control system, and monitors document expiration timelines to proactively trigger review or archival.

The position also coordinates cross-functional document reviews with relevant subject matter experts to verify content accuracy and alignment with DFOM policy and applicable regulatory and industry standards, and oversees controlled distribution so that only current, approved document versions remain accessible. In addition, the Coordinator tracks and manages personnel training status in direct linkage with the document control system — linking training modules to their supporting SOPs/WIs, monitoring completion against required timeframes, maintaining auditable training records, generating compliance reports, and supporting internal and external audits with documentation of employee qualifications and training adherence.
