• Managing deviations, CAPAs, change controls and quality risk activities.
• Supporting supplier qualification, internal audits and self-inspections.
• Working closely with the MHRA during inspections and regulatory activities.
• Promoting a strong quality culture across the wider business.

• Eligible to be named as a Responsible Person (RP).
• Strong GDP Quality Assurance experience within pharmaceutical wholesale distribution.
• Good working knowledge of UK GDP guidelines and experience dealing with the MHRA.
• A collaborative approach with the confidence to build relationships across the business.
• An interest in continuous improvement and technology, with AI experience being a definite advantage.

Why join?

• Established pharmaceutical business with an excellent reputation.
• Supportive Head of Quality, experienced Quality team and collaborative culture across wider business.
• Hybrid working (1-2 days working from home).
• Genuine opportunity to influence the Quality function and drive improvements.
