Job Description & How to Apply Below

Scotland | GMP | Step-Change Opportunity

This is not a “steady-state” quality role.

This is a career-defining opportunity to step into a site that is evolving, fast.

🔥 The Opportunity

A well-established, high-volume manufacturing site is entering a major transformation phase
.

  • New customers
  • Increasing complexity
  • Higher regulatory expectations
  • A clear shift toward pharma-level quality standards

And they need the right person to lead that step change
.

👉 This is your chance to move from “managing quality”…

👉 …to shaping what great quality looks like for the future of the site

💥 Why This Role Stands Out
  • Step up into a bigger, more strategic role
  • Take ownership of site-wide quality across multiple operations
  • Be at the forefront of building more robust systems, processes, and culture
  • Work in a business that is growing, evolving, and investing
  • Join a collaborative, no-ego leadership team where quality is respected

This is a role where you can genuinely make your mark
.

🧪 What You’ll Be Doing
  • Leading QA & QC functions across a busy manufacturing site
  • Driving improvements to the Quality Management System (QMS)
  • Managing frequent customer and regulatory audits
  • Embedding a stronger, more structured quality culture
  • Partnering closely with Production to balance quality and output
  • Supporting the site as it moves toward more complex, higher-value products
  • Strong background in GMP, ISO quality environments
  • Experience leading quality within a manufacturing site
  • Proven ability to improve systems and raise standards
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • A hands-on leader who can influence, challenge, and collaborate
💡 You don’t need to come from pure pharma

…but you must be able to think at that level

🚀 Who This Is Perfect For
  • A Quality Manager ready for their next step up
  • Someone who wants more ownership, more impact, more visibility
  • A leader who thrives in change, not comfort zones
  • Someone ambitious, driven, and ready to build something better
💬 The Bottom Line

Opportunities like this don’t come around often.

A blank canvas
, real backing from leadership, and the chance to play a key role in the next phase of the site’s evolution.

👉 If you’re ready to step up and make an impact, let’s talk.
