“My work as a member of the ISPMA team is unpredictable and dynamic as we manage a wide range of complex strategic initiatives, from initial idea to implementation. These include greenfield investments in new production plants, potential acquisitions, strategic partnerships for contract manufacturing and development, preparing project applications for EU grants, and introducing innovative manufacturing segments and business models.

As a member of the team, I am responsible for discovering and evaluating new ideas and project managing the complex development of value-added drugs. It allows Alkaloid to differentiate itself from other generic companies. With an agile approach and teamwork, we coordinate projects with internal and external stakeholders to achieve faster adaptation to changes and to realize the company's goals,” Dora Dimovska, Innovation, Strategic Project and M&A Coordinator, Pharmaceuticals Department.

“As a Project Management team member at 'Alkaloid' AD Skopje, I am privileged to work alongside cross-functional teams and outstanding colleagues.

Every day in Project Management presents a unique challenge and an opportunity to acquire new knowledge.

My main focus is on effective planning, teamwork, and communication, which are fundamental to achieving our ultimate goal of delivering various projects on time and with the highest quality possible, thereby enabling the expansion of the company's product portfolio,” Despina Jovanova, Senior Project Specialist at Pharmaceuticals Project Management.

“To achieve sustainability, we need to plan and monitor the development of new generations daily. Our company aims to cultivate talented individuals who contribute to a better future. Working in a modern and dynamic Human Resources department is both a significant challenge and an excellent opportunity for personal growth within the company,” Tane Murgoski, Projects, Training, and Education Specialist.

“My day is dynamic and full of challenges that provide me with continuous improvement, education and growth. My responsibility is to ensure the constant organization and control of the entire manufacturing process, from obtaining raw materials to creating a finished product ready for the market. Each day presents new challenges, but the ultimate goal is always the same: to produce medicines of the highest quality, safe and effective for end users,” Maja Stojanoska, Junior Shift Manager at the Cephalosporins Manufacturing Department.

“As a shift manager in Liquids Manufacturing, I must be highly aware of all aspects of the product preparation process. Effective coordination and organization are essential for a smooth workflow. Every employee is expected to respect and follow established procedures and protocols daily. I particularly appreciate the department's structure, where everyone understands their responsibilities and collaborates towards a shared goal.

The most rewarding moment is, undoubtedly, at the end of the shift when we see the final product, be it a solution, syrup, or suspension,” Emilija Cvetanoska, Junior Shift Manager at the Liquids Manufacturing Department.

“Organizing and controlling manufacturing processes is my favourite task and primary responsibility as a shift manager. At the start of each workday, I collaborate with the operators to discuss and assign tasks. Predicting the workday and completing tasks on schedule is a significant challenge, but effective communication and organization enable my colleagues and me to succeed. In a small sector like Liquids Manufacturing, maximizing every minute is crucial. I take great pride in achieving precise, efficient, and timely completion of tasks within the allotted timeframe,” Maja Jovanoska, Shift Manager at the Liquids Manufacturing Department.

Alkaloid is a working environment where every process is designed with success in mind. It makes the selection, education, motivation, and enabling each employee to reach their potential crucial aspects of our approach.

“I see myself as a process facilitator. I aim to inspire with my vision while keeping our focus on results and deadlines. One strategy I often employ is always providing accurate and precise information to minimize risks and potential conflicts. Ultimately, if we cooperate, trust each other, recognize the urgency of our work, and remain mindful of our organization, we will inevitably be success-oriented," Viktorija Veljanoska, Head of the Semi-Solid Forms Manufacturing Department.

"Each working day starts with a brief agreement with the team. We share opinions and ideas, both for the day itself and for the pace of work in the forthcoming period. Organizationally, we distribute strictly defined tasks among ourselves, with a high degree of control, but also with flexibility and with coordination with each member of the team, in order to achieve the required effectiveness and productivity of the entire department. Of course, the cooperation with other services with which we are part of the complex chain in one production is also very significant, so that all the challenges that arise in the work can be perceived and overcome. For a well-formed team, a team with great trust among the members and with a good working atmosphere, there are no challenges that cannot be overcome", 

"Production is a dynamic and multidisciplinary activity, which will ultimately result in that finished box. The workplace, as well as the tasks and responsibilities that come with it, set the dynamics of the day. The working day begins with setting goals for what is expected to be accomplished and planning the daily activities. During the shift, the work of each segment is continuously controlled, which implies control of the correct and safe handling of the equipment, materials and products by the employees, in accordance with the prescribed rules and instructions given in the established standard operating procedures (SOPs), procedures and guidelines. Following the strict GMP-norms and the quality policy are the basis on which the entire process is based in order to obtain a quality, safe and effective product - medicine. At the end of the day, when one looks at the pallet with a packaged, finished product, ready for delivery, it creates a positive feeling of a successfully achieved goal. At that moment, all the activities that we have carried out before, seemingly, remain in the background, but they define the value and meaning of the feeling of satisfaction"

"My working day in Production - cephalosporins is filled with dynamics, great responsibility and constant challenges. For me, each new day represents a new experience, with an additional motivation to learn even more tomorrow. The complexity of all production processes that take place in Production - cephalosporins require, first of all, teamwork and a multidisciplinary approach. I would describe the course of my working day as a chained interdependent system, in which, through coordinated and strictly defined procedures and actions, together with my colleagues, I implement and control production processes and systems through clearly assigned tasks. In accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) norms and in coordination with colleagues from other departments, I perform validation of new production processes, new equipment, cleanliness of equipment and premises, as well as investigation of deviations, risks... Even though on a working day, the professionalism and full dedication to my work tasks are always my priority, there is more than enough time left which I use for my family and friends, as well as for my hobbies and leisure activities outside working hours"

“My job in the Manufacturing Department is very dynamic, which usually brings different outcomes and tasks during the working week. My workday is not monotonous at all, which requires good organizational skills. My role as a Responsible Pharmacist in Production is to properly and timely organize and control the production processes, which are compliant with the company's quality control system and GMP norms.

“The production processes through which we get final products are diverse and depend on the predefined characteristics of the product at the early development stage. Each production process is composed of several different technological procedures, usually wet granulation, homogenization, tablet formation, and film coating.

"My workday is dynamic, always different than the one before, filled with numerous challenges. Complying with the highest-standard quality requirements applicable to various product groups within the Alkaloid Integrated Management System is imperative in my day-to-day work.

"My working day is very dynamic, and I always face different challenges. Our top priorities are the commitment to quality, compliance with the highest standards, and continuous improvement of the Pharmaceutical Quality System that is part of the Alkaloid’s Integrated Management System.

"Holding one of the key positions at a pharmaceutical company such as Alkaloid is a great privilege. It is also an obligation for permanent work, learning, and coping with daily challenges. The responsibility and commitment to quality, our company’s recognizable brand over the years and is shared among all colleagues within the Alkaloid’s Quality System, is proven with customer satisfaction and confirmed by numerous and regular regulatory and partner inspections and audits. 

"My workday at the Department of Quality Assurance – Environment is full of tasks and activities with one primary goal – to protect and continuously improve our environmental performance.
