This is how you can imagine a typical day in the role

A typical day involves starting the morning reviewing ongoing project statuses and preparing for meetings with business stakeholders to gather new IT system requirements or clarify existing ones. Midday might include a cross-functional workshop or call with Corporate IT to align on solution design, timelines, or issue resolution. The afternoon is spent updating documentation (e.g., user requirements, validation plans), tracking project progress, and following up with vendors or internal teams. Throughout the day, the Business Partner ensures compliance with GxP standards and keeps communication flowing across all parties to keep IT initiatives moving forward.
