Organization Overview
Lilly recently announced a $4.5 billion investment to create the Lilly Medicine Foundry, a new center for advanced manufacturing and drug development in Lebanon, Indiana. The first-ever facility of its kind combining research and manufacturing in a single location, the Medicine Foundry will allow Lilly to further develop innovative solutions to optimize manufacturing processes and increase capacity for clinical trial medicines, while also reducing costs and environmental impact.
In the Foundry Construction and Project Delivery/Startup Phase (2025 to 2028), roles will be fluid and dynamic as we build a new organization, design and implement the necessary systems and business processes required to enable operational readiness, support project delivery, and build the site culture.

This period presents a unique opportunity for learning, growth, and making a lasting impact.

Assist in the development and submission of Requests for Proposals and support vendor evaluation and onboarding processes in partnership with Quality Assurance and analytical leadership.
Partner with internal analytical functions to anticipate outsourcing needs and proactively manage external testing capacity in alignment with LMF manufacturing run schedules.
Learning, Development & Training

Partner with documentation and Quality Assurance functions to ensure timely training completion when SOPs and controlled documents are updated or newly introduced.
Support digital and technology training efforts as the LMF scales, helping the team build skills aligned with new analytical workflows, systems, and instrumentation.
Serve as a connection point to broader organizational learning and development programs and initiatives.
Documentation & Method Readiness
Support analytical documentation systems to ensure SOPs, analytical methods, and controlled documents are current, compliant, and audit-ready.
Coordinate document reviews, approvals, and lifecycle updates in alignment with applicable regulatory guidelines, partnering with Quality Assurance to ensure documentation meets compliance requirements.
