Quality Process Lead Auditor

The Quality Management System (QMS) department creates, supports, and oversees the companys global quality processes that affect both the product and the customer experience. The QMS applies to all value streams of the companys operations. The QMS North America team is expanding to build a dedicated group that will make sure our quality processes are clearly defined, properly rolled out, consistently followed, and effectively executed.

This helps reduce quality issues and customer risks, while also improving key performance indicators (KPIs).

The Quality Lead Auditor is responsible for creating and carrying out detailed quality audit plans across several areas of the business, including design, engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, supplier quality, supply chain, sales/after-sales, and other cross-functional domains.

The Lead Auditor identifies potential risks to Stellantis by assessing whether teams are following required quality processes and standards, and by evaluating how gaps could impact customer quality.

They perform complex audits in multiple domains that include:

• Conducting audit activities
• Analyzing findings
• Supporting development and approving action plans
• Ensuring actions are completed and effective
• Documenting audit report / results

They will build and maintain strong working relationships with quality stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and transparency with respect to audit status and findings.

This role requires strong collaboration skills, as the Lead Auditor will interact with shop-floor operators, team members, and all levels of management to gather information through both formal reports and informal conversations.

The Lead Auditor will lead complex audit activities that evaluate quality risks and process execution by using data analysis, research, interviews, and investigative techniques. The Lead Auditor will support other team members and help with special projects, such as department initiatives, training programs, and recruiting activities.
