About Us

We support our clients in developing differentiated, stable, usable, and safe injectable treatments for patients.
Your mission
We're expanding our capabilities, and we need someone with deep expertise in aseptic operations, isolator technologies, and leading cross-functional teams through major capital projects. If you're driven by the challenge of bringing a new manufacturing line to life while ensuring "right first time" quality, this role is for you. Join us and help shape our new chapter.
Your responsibilities will include,
  • Proven QA leadership experience in a GMP-regulated sterile manufacturing environment, with direct oversight of aseptic operations, isolator-based technologies, and sterile drug product filling.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting major capital projects and facility expansions, specifically the installation qualification, operational qualification, and startup of new sterile manufacturing equipment and filling lines.
  • Strong technical expertise in isolator technologies (design, qualification, and aseptic behaviors), including knowledge of decontamination cycles, transfer systems, and integration with filling and lyophilization operations.
  • Experience in validation oversight: process validation, cleaning validation, aseptic process simulations (media fills), and equipment qualification activities.
  • Solid background in contamination control strategy and environmental monitoring program design, ensuring compliance with Annex 1, FDA, EMA, and PIC/S expectations for isolator-based operations.
  • Skilled in regulatory and client audit preparation, with ability to represent QA and operations readiness during inspections of new facilities/startups.
  • Hands-on experience with tech transfer and batch release readiness during new facility qualification, ensuring compliance without delaying project milestones.
  • Strong knowledge of quality risk management principles (ICH Q9) and ability to apply them to new line startup activities, balancing compliance and operational execution.
Your profile
We are looking for someone with:
  • Demonstrated ability to lead QA operations through large-scale expansion projects, aligning quality requirements with engineering, validation, and manufacturing timelines.
  • Proven success in building cross-functional collaboration with engineering, validation, QC, manufacturing, and project management teams to ensure a “right first time” approach to startup.
  • Strong leadership in change management, helping teams adapt to new technologies, isolator operations, and new ways of working.
  • Creates an environment where compliance and project delivery are balanced — ensuring timelines are met without compromising quality standards.
  • Coaches and develops QA professionals to become trusted partners during new facility qualification and startup.
  • Capable of engaging effectively at all levels: shop floor, project team, site leadership, and external stakeholders (clients, regulators, suppliers).
  • Highly effective communicator, able to influence decision-making and ensure quality is embedded in every stage of the expansion.
  • Analytical and decisive — able to review complex data packages (qualification, validation, EM trending, media fills) and make timely, risk-based QA decisions.
