VP Quality

Officers Full-time Regular Reading, OH, US

Set the Standard. Lead the Network. Own the Outcome.

At GTC, quality isn’t a site-level function — it’s an enterprise commitment. The Vice President of Quality is the executive who owns that commitment across every facility, every certification, every customer relationship, and every person on the quality team. Reporting directly to the President and serving as a key member of the executive leadership team, you’ll set the QMS strategy, lead site quality leadership across the network, and build the kind of unified quality culture that makes GTC increasingly formidable with every program we win.

This is an executive role with real scope — multi-site QMS governance, AS9100/ISO 9001 Management Representative responsibilities, major customer and regulatory relationships, budget ownership, and a succession pipeline to build. If you’re a quality executive who thinks at the enterprise level and leads with both strategic clarity and floor-level credibility, this is the seat built for you.

This position is eligible for GTC’s Management Incentive Bonus Plan — because executives who drive enterprise-wide quality performance and support business growth should share directly in the results they create. And through our Ownership For All program, that philosophy runs even deeper. Every eligible full-time employee receives an ownership stake in GTC. From day one, you’re not just joining the executive team.

You’re becoming an owner. Your wins aren’t just good for the company. They’re good for you.
