Pharmaceutical packaging, clinical trial supply, and sterile manufacturing services
Sharp operates a global pharmaceutical services business spanning packaging, clinical trial logistics, and small-batch sterile manufacturing across four GMP facilities. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-first operation: design tools (ArtiosCAD, Solidworks), legacy QAD ERP, Veeva compliance platform, and PLC automation — with early-stage adoption of DMAIC (lean process discipline). Hiring is heavily skewed to manufacturing and operations (32 of 46 open roles), reflecting their core scale challenges around production efficiency and quality consistency rather than technology modernization.
Sharp is a contract manufacturer and service provider for pharmaceutical and biotech clients, supporting clinical development through commercial-scale production and lifecycle management. The company operates 2,200+ employees across facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Service areas include packaging and labeling, clinical trial supply chain logistics (storage, distribution, returns, destruction), sterile manufacturing, analytical and formulation development, and QP (Qualified Person) regulatory services. The business is organized around manufacturing, operations, and quality functions with selective investment in engineering and marketing.
Sharp uses ArtiosCAD and Solidworks for design, QAD for ERP, Veeva for compliance and serialization, PLC for manufacturing automation, Microsoft Office suite, and Google Analytics. Early adoption of DMAIC indicates process improvement focus.
Sharp is actively hiring in the United States, Belgium, and Brazil. Current open roles emphasize manufacturing (23), operations (9), and engineering (4) positions across junior, mid, and senior levels.
Production efficiency, quality control consistency, equipment performance, compliance database maintenance, and streamlining manufacturing processes. Lead generation and ROI measurement are secondary challenges.
