Job description

Quality Assurance Specialist

Ontario, California

Up to $90,000 + Career Progression + Professional Development

Looking for a Quality role that will accelerate your development rather than limit you to one product line, one process, or one part of the business?

Want the opportunity to help shape a growing QA function while building expertise across medical devices, OTC products, cosmetics, and consumer healthcare?

On offer is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing consumer healthcare products company where you'll gain exposure to multiple regulated product categories, take ownership of key quality and compliance activities, and play a visible role in the growth of the business.

This is a rare chance to accelerate your development by working across a broad product portfolio while building specialist expertise in quality, regulatory compliance, supplier management, audits, and product launches.

This company is a growing consumer products organization with an innovative portfolio spanning oral care, health, hygiene, OTC, cosmetic, and medical device products. Their brands and private label products are sold through major retailers, making quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction central to everything they do. With ambitious growth plans and a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture, they offer an environment where individuals can make a genuine impact and grow alongside the business.

In this role, you will act as a key quality and compliance specialist, overseeing product quality, regulatory compliance, supplier management, audits, laboratory testing, and retailer requirements across a diverse product portfolio. You'll work closely with suppliers, laboratories, product development, operations, purchasing, and commercial teams to ensure products meet FDA, GMP, customer, and retailer expectations while supporting new product launches and continuous improvement initiatives.

The ideal candidate will ill have at least 12 months of post-graduate experience within Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Supplier Quality, or a related quality function within medical devices, cosmetics, OTC products, pharmaceuticals, consumer healthcare, personal care, or other regulated industries. You'll be highly organised, proactive, and eager to broaden your experience across multiple quality disciplines while developing your career in a growing business.

This role is ideal for someone who feels restricted by a narrow quality remit and wants broader exposure across quality systems, supplier quality, audits, compliance, regulatory affairs, laboratory testing, and project management. It's an excellent opportunity for an ambitious QA professional looking to develop faster, take on greater ownership, and position themselves for future progression as the company continues to grow.

The Role

• Own and support key Quality Assurance activities across medical devices, OTC products, cosmetics, oral care, and hygiene products


• Manage supplier qualification, audits, laboratory testing, CAPA activities, and ongoing compliance initiatives


• Support FDA registrations, regulatory submissions, and retailer compliance requirements


• Partner with Product Development, Operations, Purchasing, Sales, suppliers, and laboratories on new product launches

Who We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Engineering, or a related field


• 1+ years of post-graduate experience in Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Supplier Quality, or a related quality function


• Experience within medical devices, cosmetics, OTC products, pharmaceuticals, consumer healthcare, personal care, or another regulated industry


• Knowledge of GMP, FDA regulations, ISO 9001 and/or ISO 13485

What's On Offer

• Salary up to $90,000


• Exposure to multiple regulated product categories, providing far broader experience than most QA roles


• Opportunity to help shape and grow the US Quality function as the business expands


• Clear progression, development, and earning potential as the team and company continue to grow


• Fun, collaborative culture and the chance to work on innovative products that positively impact consumers' everyday lives
