Your Role
Quality is not a checkpoint — it is the foundation on which scientific progress is built. As Director of Quality, you will own and shape the full quality agenda for a dynamic Life Science manufacturing site, driving both strategic direction and day-to-day execution across quality assurance and quality control. In this pivotal leadership role, you will set the quality vision, embed a proactive quality culture across the site, and serve as a senior member of the site leadership team. You will lead a team of quality professionals, oversee regulatory compliance, manage the quality budget, and champion digital initiatives that strengthen data integrity and operational efficiency. You will partner closely with production, technical services, and commercial functions to ensure that quality is integrated into every stage of operations — from supplier qualification and environmental monitoring through to product release and customer complaint resolution. Your leadership will directly influence site performance metrics, audit readiness, and the continuous improvement agenda, making a measurable impact on both compliance outcomes and customer satisfaction.
