About the roleThe Senior Analyst, Computer Systems Validation (CSV) is an individual contributor within Information Technology responsible for planning, authoring, coordinating, and executing risk-based validation and system lifecycle activities for CG Oncology computerized systems used in regulated GxP operations. The role supports new implementations, configurations, upgrades, integrations, data migrations, vendor releases, periodic reviews, revalidation, and system retirement.
The Senior Analyst partners with IT, Quality Assurance, System Owners, Business Owners, subject matter experts, and external vendors to produce fit-for-purpose, inspection-ready validation evidence while maintaining practical controls and appropriate separation of duties.

- Assess configuration changes, vendor releases, patches, defects, integrations, interfaces, and data migrations to determine validation impact, testing scope, documentation needs, and implementation controls.
- Support software change requests from initiation through closure, including risk assessment, implementation and backout planning, test evidence, deviation resolution, and final approval routing.
- Maintain systems in a validated state through periodic reviews, revalidation assessments, retirement/decommissioning activities, and verification that system and validation documentation remains current.
CSV Governance and Portfolio Oversight
- Maintain the computerized system inventory, validation status, validation schedules, periodic review calendar, open action tracking, and inspection-ready validation repositories.
- Develop and improve CSV templates, procedures, work instructions, standards, and metrics consistent with CG Oncology quality systems and a risk-based GAMP 5/CSA approach.
- Track validation risks, issues, dependencies, resource needs, and milestones across multiple concurrent projects and escalate barriers promptly.
Supplier and Vendor Qualifications
- Support supplier qualification and risk assessment by reviewing vendor quality systems, SDLC practices, release documentation, validation packages, security/compliance evidence, and service controls.
- Coordinate validation deliverables, defect resolution, release impact information, and testing support with SaaS providers, implementation partners, consultants, and other third parties.
Inspection Readiness and Quality Support
- Maintain audit-ready documentation and support internal audits, regulatory inspections, partner audits, due diligence, and health authority requests related to computerized systems.
- Support investigation and remediation of validation deviations, system defects, data integrity concerns, CAPAs, and audit observations, including effectiveness checks where assigned.
- Evaluate controls related to electronic records and signatures, audit trails, user access, security, backup/restore, business continuity, and data migration as part of validation activities.
Cross-Functional Partnership and Training
- Facilitate requirements, risk assessment, test planning, and validation review sessions with business and technical stakeholders.
- Provide practical CSV guidance and training to System Owners, Business Owners, administrators, testers, and project teams; coach contributors on evidence quality and good documentation practices.

- At least three years of direct experience authoring and executing CSV lifecycle deliverables for GxP computerized systems.
- Experience validating SaaS/cloud, configured, and/or custom applications using a risk-based approach.
- Working knowledge of 21 CFR Part 11, GxP data integrity expectations, GAMP 5, SDLC, change control, and good documentation practices.
