Senior QA Manager | GDP | Clinical Trial Supply
UK – Northwest England
Hybrid / EU travel – 2 days in office per month
I’m currently working with a specialist clinical trial supply organisation that is expanding its European operations and looking to strengthen its Quality function with a Senior QA Manager.
This is a great opportunity for someone with strong GDP experience who wants to play a key role within a growing international business, supporting its expanding presence across EU.
The Role
Working closely with the existing Quality team, you’ll act as a senior point of reference for GDP, quality systems and EU regulatory requirements, while supporting the organisation as it continues to expand its European footprint.
You’ll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact rather than simply maintaining an established QMS, working closely with colleagues across the business and providing guidance on quality and compliance matters.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide senior QA and GDP expertise across the European business
- Support and advise on EU GDP compliance and regulatory requirements
- Act as a senior sounding board for the Quality Manager and wider team
- Support audits, inspections and quality-related site visits
- Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of the QMS, SOPs and training
- Support the business as it expands its licences and operations across Europe
- Work with internal teams and external partners to maintain high standards of quality and compliance
- Help develop and strengthen the company’s overall Quality function
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience within Good Distribution Practice (GDP)
- Pharmaceutical / medicinal products experience
- Understanding of EU regulatory and quality requirements
- Experience within clinical trial supply would be highly advantageous
- Experience across pharmaceutical distribution, wholesale, sourcing or supply chain is also relevant
- Confident communicating with stakeholders and providing quality guidance
- A proactive, intelligent and collaborative approach
- Ability to operate independently within a growing organisation
GMP experience is not essential for this position — the key requirement is strong, relevant GDP expertise.
We’re open to a range of experience levels. Whether you’re an experienced senior QA professional with 10+ years in GDP or a highly motivated quality professional ready to take the next step, the right attitude and relevant experience are what matter most.
Why Consider It?
- Join a growing international clinical trial supply specialist
- Opportunity to have genuine influence within the Quality function
- Exposure to an expanding European operation
- Work alongside an experienced Quality team
- Varied role covering GDP, audits, QMS and EU compliance
- Flexible hybrid working, with initial office training before moving to a more flexible model
