The Prospect

As our QC Data Specialist, you will own and manage the stability testing program for our cannabis product portfolio, providing the scientific foundation for shelf-life determination, expiry dating, and international regulatory submissions. You will also own tracking, trending, and reporting of all analytical testing data from our internal and external laboratories, including the identification of Out of Trend (OOT) and Out of Specification (OOS) results and regular reporting through meetings, presentations, and formal reports. As the internal subject matter expert on stability science and laboratory data trending, you will work across Research & Lab, Quality Assurance (QA), Regulatory Affairs (RA), and Operations, exercising a high degree of technical judgment, accountability, and independence in a regulated GPP/GACP/EU-GMP environment

What You'll Do

Stability Program Management

- Own and manage the end-to-end stability program for all cannabis product categories (dried flower, trim, extracts, novel formats), including study design, sample scheduling, data collection, trend analysis, and formal reporting; ensure all required studies are planned,



initiated, and executed on the annual schedule
- Design and maintain stability protocols aligned with ICH Q1A(R2), ICH Q1E, and applicable GPP/GACP/EU-GMP requirements, adapting them as new product formats or market requirements are introduced
- Serve as the primary internal subject matter expert on stability science, providing technical guidance to QA, RA, Product Development & Innovation, and Operations on shelf-life, storage conditions, and product performance, and establishing and maintaining expiry dating and retest date rationale for all registered and in-development products
- Identify and escalate OOT/OOS results and lead or support the resulting investigations and CAPAs; prepare and own stability summary reports for batch release, regulatory submissions, and partner/customer requests; and manage stability chambers and storage units (IQ/OQ/PQ, calibration, temperature/humidity monitoring, deviation management)

Sampling & Testing Coordination

- Coordinate and physically prepare samples for stability time-points, GPP/ GACP/EU GMP batch release, compliance and research studies in accordance with SOPs, regulations, and good laboratory practices
- Coordinate with third-party laboratories to ensure testing is accurate, in scope, and on time; manage Certificate of Analysis (COA) receipt, review,



and filing; and review laboratory reports for accuracy, initiating and circulating Laboratory Investigation Reports (LIRs) and tracking resolution
- Maintain accurate records in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and SharePoint, including Chain of Custody (COC) documentation, sampling and requisition forms, and sample labels

Data Management, Trending & Reporting

- Build, own, and continuously improve the laboratory and stability data management system (databases, trackers, dashboards), ensuring data integrity in accordance with ALCOA+ principles
- Track and monitor all analytical testing data generated across the internal laboratory and external / third-party laboratories, spanning stability, batch release, in-process, and research testing, to maintain a consolidated, current view of laboratory quality data
- Trend results over time and identify OOT/OOS patterns across products, cultivars, sites, processing routes, and testing stages; elevate emerging signals to QA, the QAP, and relevant stakeholders; and provide trend context and historical analysis to support investigations and CAPAs
- Build and maintain data visualizations, graphs, and dashboards, and establish and maintain the cadence, format, and content standards for routine reporting, ensuring outputs are traceable, reproducible, and aligned with ALCOA+ principles
- Deliver regular laboratory data reporting through recurring meetings, presentations, and formal written reports to QA, RA, Research & Lab, Operations, and management; maintain SOPs, work instructions, and forms governing stability, sampling, and testing; and support QA and RA during inspections, audits, and technical dossier preparation
