Oegstgeest, Zuid-Holland, Nederland International Flavors & Fragrances Voltijd

At International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), we are a leader in the industrial biotechnology sector, developing innovative products to advance sustainable solutions for the bio-based economy. Our regulatory function facilitates market access of enzyme products, with product safety assessments playing an integral part. In this role, you will develop and maintain up-to-date microbial strain documentation in support of strain risk assessment needed for manufacturing and regulatory approval dossiers for our Health & Biosciences division.

  • Monitor biosafety guidelines and regulations applicable to IFF's microorganisms
  • Organize and maintain strain safety documentation
  • Conduct strain risk assessments according to business needs within allotted timeframes

  • Support production strain-related compliance matters and biosafety information needed within the strain risk assessment team
Job Requirements:Required Background and Skills:

  • Strong attention to detail
  • Team player mindset

  • Affinity with sequencing data
  • Ability to thrive in a multidisciplinary and multicultural global matrix environment
  • Strong analytical mind with the ability to interpret laboratory study results and see connections

Preferred Background and Skills:
  • PhD degree in Biosciences: e.g., molecular biology, microbiology
  • Excellent planning, timekeeping, and organizational skills
  • Affinity with document organization
  • Understanding of risk assessment methodology and ability to interpret study results
