We are partnering with a thriving South Manchester business in the medical supplies sector to support its ambitious growth plans in the coming years. It is a stable company with over thirty years of expertise and a strong reputation among its clients.
  
The company provides high-quality, non-pharmaceutical medical consumables to a diverse range of clients, including healthcare providers, research institutions, and veterinary practices across the UK and Europe.

Reporting to senior management, you would be instrumental in overseeing compliance and quality across both the UK and EU regions. Working independently, you will collaborate cross-functionally to champion the importance of compliance and quality throughout the organisation.

Maintaining and updating all compliance documentation and producing monthly reporting data
Upholding ISO 9001 and 14001 standards

A self-motivated individual with the ability to work autonomously, take initiative and assume ownership within the compliance function
Adaptability and resilience to thrive in a dynamic and rapidly growing business environment
Ability to undertake some short European trips periodically   In return you can expect:  

A competitive salary of circa £50k
25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
The opportunity to join a forward-thinking company during an exciting period of expansion
A newly created role where you can make a significant impact and shape the compliance strategy
A supportive and inclusive work environment that values its employees and encourages career development
