Quality Assurance Manager

QA Manager

I am partnered exclusively with an established and fast-growing pharmaceutical contract services provider that has invested significantly into growth over the past 10 years. They are working in a contract manufacturing, packaging and distribution capacity with clients on a global level. Given the success of the company across its different sites, it is now in the exciting position to add a key member to their largest facility, in the heart of Wiltshire.

The role of QA Manager will take on diverse responsibilities across operational duties (batch review, production liaison, labelling oversight etc.) as well as wider activities relating to auditing, supplier management and QMS implementation.

Crucially, this role will lead the site based Quality Assurance team across goods in, QC and operational activities. Line management responsibilities will present from the start and you will work closely with the Chief Quality Officer to support the growing workload and demand on site.

The site hours are 42.5hrs per week between 8am-5pm – being site based is critical given the size of the team and the operational responsibilities associated with the role.

For further information, please contact Mark Bux-Ryan.

• Experienced in a Quality Assurance capacity covering diverse responsibilities
