Role Overview
This is a strategic hire for a Senior Quality Manager, positioned to play a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s Quality function.
This position offers a unique blend of hands-on operational responsibility and strategic influence within a dynamic, growth-oriented business.
Company Information
This fast-growing pharmaceutical company has evolved from a consulting-led operation into a fully commercial pharmaceutical business with a global footprint. Since 2022, the company has launched around 20 products and maintains an active development pipeline of approximately 50 more.
Operating across multiple international markets – including the UK (supplying the NHS), Africa, Kosovo, CIS countries, the Middle East, and Vietnam – the organisation combines entrepreneurial energy with scientific rigor.
The company’s culture values passionate, results-oriented professionals who thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership of their work, and are motivated by seeing the tangible impact of their contributions.
Role Requirements
Act as the Responsible Person (RP) under GDP requirements.
Review batch manufacturing documentation to support QP release.
Manage and continuously improve the Quality Management System (QMS), ensuring full MHRA compliance.
Liaise with approximately five Contract Manufacturing Organisations (CMOs), providing oversight on technical matters, investigations, and technology transfers.
Serve as a backup for regulatory submissions, utilising Freya software.
Focus areas include batch release and QMS oversight; laboratory management is not required, as the internal lab team operates independently.
Person Specifications
Qualified Responsible Person (RP).
Strong background in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) – depth of GMP experience is more critical than the recency of RP qualification.
Proven experience preparing for and confidently defending during MHRA inspections.
Demonstrated ability to interpret manufacturing data and identify root causes of technical or process issues.
Package
Competitive Salary.
