• Lead cross‑functional teams to complete deviations, CAPAs, and change controls.
• Approve all stages of quality documentation (complaints, SCARs, CAPAs, deviations, audit findings).
• Analyze quality metrics to identify trends and implement corrective/preventive action.

• Lead regulatory inspections and customer audits.
• Manage the internal and external audit program, ensuring timely CAPA closure.
• Facilitate product recalls and support returns as required.

• Demonstrated business planning and execution abilities.
• Collaborative and supported leadership (4 direct reports).
• Work closely with suppliers and CMOs to ensure quality expectations are met.
• Collaborate with the Quality team and senior leadership on priorities and improvements.
• Promote a culture of efficiency, teamwork, and shared success.
• Contribute to business planning and execution.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Occasional travel within Canada
• Required participation in meetings and presentations
• Overtime as operationally required

• 3–5 years of experience in a Health Canada or FDA‑regulated industry (Food, Pharma, Cosmetic, Cannabis or similar)
• Post‑secondary education in a related field; B.Sc. preferred
• Strong experience interacting with regulatory agencies
• Knowledge of Health Canada Regulations, FDA GMP, and EU GMP
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, SharePoint, and Visio
