Description

Head of Quality – QP
We are partnering exclusively with a rapidly expanding advanced pharmaceutical organisation to appoint a senior leader responsible for Quality Assurance across multiple sites. Experience and eligibility as a Qualified Person (QP) is essential.
This position combines strategic oversight with hands-on leadership. While QP status is critical from an experience perspective, this role is not expected to perform as an operational QP.
It is critical to have managed or overseen QP teams and can demonstrate the capability to guide complex operational and compliance challenges. An understanding and capability of working in fast paced settings with the ability to make critical decisions is essential.
The role is fully remote and not tied to a single manufacturing site. However, regular on‑site engagement is essential, with an expectation to visit each UK facility on a regular basis. Flexibility to travel across the UK is therefore critical. A company vehicle or car allowance will be included as part of the overall benefits package.
For further information, please contact Mark Bux-Ryan.
Key Experience Required
* Robust and proven Quality Assurance background within the pharmaceutical sector
* Eligibility and previous experience as a QP
* Deep understanding and practical application of GMP
* Demonstrable people‑leadership capability and genuine passion for leading teams
* Hands-on experience within aseptic or sterile manufacturing environments
* Ability to lead teams effectively in a virtual setting; prior multi-site leadership is beneficial but not essential
