Quality Assurance Operations Manager

We're partnering exclusively with a global CDMO to appoint a QA Operations Lead at one of their flagship drug product manufacturing sites in Germany.

This is an opportunity to join a site undergoing significant investment and expansion, taking ownership of key quality operations activities across a GMP-regulated sterile manufacturing environment, with a particular focus on deviations, CAPAs and investigations.

The Role

As QA Operations Lead, you'll be responsible for:

• Leading and overseeing deviations, CAPAs and root cause investigations.
• Driving timely resolution of quality events and ensuring effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Supporting shopfloor QA activities and maintaining GMP compliance across manufacturing operations.
• Reviewing quality trends, identifying recurring issues and driving continuous improvement.
• Supporting batch record review, documentation and quality oversight.
• Working closely with Manufacturing, MSAT, Engineering and QC to resolve quality issues and strengthen compliance.
• Supporting audit readiness and ensuring robust quality systems are maintained across the site.

Why this opportunity?

• Join a global CDMO with an established international manufacturing network.
• Work within a state-of-the-art large-molecule sterile fill/finish facility.
• Be part of a site undergoing significant investment, capacity expansion and long-term growth.
• Take ownership of critical quality processes and make a tangible impact on GMP compliance and operational performance.

We're looking to speak with QA professionals from biologics, sterile manufacturing or CDMO environments who have hands-on experience managing deviations, CAPAs and investigations within GMP-regulated manufacturing.
