​Validation Manager


I am working exclusively with an expanding, multi-site European pharmaceutical business that has demonstrated exceptional growth over recent years. As part of this growth, the business has increased their operational delivery, as well as update equipment and facilities across Europe.


This specific hire further supports that expansion and is a brand-new appointment for a new site being launched in Manchester.


As a Validation Manager you will be accountable for the execution of the validation plan on the facility and how this links to the wider business. This will be a hands-on position and therefore it is critical that you are comfortable in writing validation protocols and spending time within manufacturing and laboratory settings.


The focus will be across the full spectrum of validation activities including equipment, process, cleaning and CSV. Whilst the position has a focus on the Manchester facility, some minimal travel may be required to other sites across the UK.



Please apply below or contact Mark Bux-Ryan for further information.


Key experience:

  • Extensive pharmaceutical validation experience in a GMP capacity

  • Strong knowledge and experience across the full validation lifecycle

  • Hands on commissioning and qualification experience

  • Knowledge of CSV would be strongly beneficial

  • Experience in new system development and launching new laboratory or manufacturing sites would be beneficial
