I am partnered with an international advanced pharmaceutical and medical device business that is investing seriously into expanding their quality and operational activities, especially across various sites within the UK.

This is a brand new appointment for one of their facilities in Manchester.

Working as a form of QA head for their own respective site, this position will manage a small team and remain fully hands on in all areas of quality. This includes systems oversight, operational delivery and validation activities.

A core aspect of the role will be leadership – leading a small team through hands on coaching, mentoring and training.

If you are looking for a varied position that offers you a chance to make a real impact on your own site and play a significant part in the way that quality assurance is adopted and implemented business wide, please apply below or contact Mark Bux‑Ryan for further information.

Key experience

• Experienced within a QA capacity, working in a GMP environment.
• Ideally working experience of a sterile/aseptic environment – working within a terminally sterile setting would be helpful – these are not essential.
• Leadership and management experience is preferred.
• Strong hands on experience of a range of quality activities, especially in relation to QMS oversight.
• Auditing experience essential – if you have been a lead auditor, this would be advantageous.
• Knowledge and experience of validation activities.
