• Lead structured change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, communications, training, and change readiness

• Oversee process redesign, documentation reduction, workflow optimisation, and technology enablement

• Support global site rollouts to ensure solutions are scalable, consistent, and practical to implement

• Define, track, and report KPIs to monitor progress, risks, and business impact

• Provide clear, transparent reporting to senior leadership and programme sponsors

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years’ experience in project or programme management within Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Operations, or R&D

• Proven experience leading large-scale, global transformation programmes, ideally in regulated industries (pharma, biotech, medical devices, cosmetics, etc.)

• Strong knowledge of QMS frameworks, ISO standards, GxP requirements, and Quality processes

• Demonstrated ability to simplify complex systems and drive adoption across global organisations

• Experience working with digital Quality tools and platforms (eDMS, TrackWise, reporting/analytics tools, collaboration platforms)

• Project management or continuous improvement certification (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, Lean, Six Sigma) is an advantage

• Fluent English (additional languages are a plus)

What we offer in return

• You will be working for an organization that embraces diversity & inclusion and believe we will deliver better outcomes by reflecting the perspectives of our diverse customer base.
