Pharma

Are you ready to significantly influence procurement strategy and impact in a globally recognised and expanding pharmaceutical brand?

We’re expanding a global procurement function that challenges the old ways and delivers real strategic impact. This is your chance to lead a brand-new role at the heart of R&D.

Bringing with you an understanding of CRO pricing strategies, you will be responsible for a small team that is accountable from R&D functions that include Medical and Regulatory, through to Pharmacovigilance and Clinical.

This is both a strategic and hands on implementation position that requires the ability to drive improvement in a business that is continuing to expand pipeline, as well and clinical and commercial activities globally.

 

What You Bring

• Ideally 7+ years in pharmaceutical procurement, with strong team development experience.
• Deep understanding of clinical procurement models and CRO pricing.
• Ability to create and implement strategy, not just follow existing processes.
• Pharma or CRO background preferred (specific therapy area experience not required).
• A passion for developing people and driving change.

Are you a CMC, process development or validation specialist? Maybe a bit of all three?

This is a unique and fantastic opportunity to join one of Europe’s leading healthcare and pharmaceutical businesses as they continue their expansion across the UK and Europe.

Working in a small facility in Greater Manchester, this position will be responsible for helping to establish new processes for product introduction and commercial scale up. In addition to this, there will be responsibility for full life cycle validation activities across a range of laboratory and manufacturing equipment.

Given the site size and business culture, this role requires a hands on, “can do” approach. Strong stakeholder skills are as crucial as your technical capability.

Key experience:

• Experience or knowledge of the radiopharmaceutical industry
• Experience in process development or technical transfer from R&D through to manufacturing
• Validation knowledge and experience
• GMP experience beneficial, although if you have worked within the right technical product categories and have a strong depth of experience across the rest of the role profile, this may not be required
• Strong stakeholder management skills

We are looking for an experienced Qualified Person (QP) to join a Nottingham-based team on a permanent basis. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a global pharmaceutical company that offers a strong benefits package and a collaborative environment focused on quality and innovation.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a Qualified Person in accordance with EU and UK regulations, ensuring compliance with GMP standards.
• Certify batches for release to market, maintaining the highest standards of product quality and patient safety.
• Provide expert guidance on quality systems, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support manufacturing and supply chain operations.
• Contribute to audits and inspections, ensuring readiness and compliance at all times.

 

Requirements

• Current eligibility and registration as a Qualified Person under UK/EU law.
• Strong knowledge of GMP and pharmaceutical quality systems.
• Experience within sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a global, fast-paced environment.

 

What’s on Offer
