• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field.
• Proven track record and experience in industrial operations and embedding Quality Management into daily activities.
• Experience in internal and external audits.
• Strong teamwork and stakeholder collaboration skills, with the ability to plan and prioritise work, drive initiatives forward and influence across functions, countries and organisational levels.
