    • People Leadership: Build and develop a high‑performing manufacturing team with a strong safety‑ and quality‑first culture.
    • Audit Readiness: Act as manufacturing SME during inspections, maintaining constant audit readiness.
    • GDP & Controlled Drugs: Support GDP and controlled drug compliance where applicable, working with the Responsible Person.
    • Quality Partnership: Work in close partnership with Quality leadership to oversee compliance, documentation approval, supplier performance, batch review, and audits.

    Experience & Credentials

    • Degree in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Microbiology, Engineering, or related discipline.
    • 7+ years' experience in GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing, including 3–5 years in senior operational leadership.
    • Proven delivery of production targets with improvements in yield, right‑first‑time performance, and deviation reduction.
    • Strong background in investigations, CAPA, change control, and cross‑functional leadership.
    • Experience in small‑batch or patient‑specific manufacturing is desirable.

    Leadership Profile

    • Decisive, composed, and patient‑focused under pressure.
    • Deep technical credibility in GMP manufacturing operations.
