Governance & Compliance

• Ensure platforms meet GxP, data integrity, and audit requirements
• Define and enforce standards for platform configuration, integration design and data management
• Support and oversee validation (CSV) activities in alignment with Takeda’s SDLC and regulatory expectations
• Proactively manage risks, dependencies, and cross-system impacts

Requirements
