For our Client, a leading global pharmaceutical company committed to innovation and regulatory excellence, we are currently seeking a highly experienced and visionary expert in the field of IT Quality, Validation, and Testing. This is a unique opportunity to join a strategic digital transformation initiative that impacts critical systems across global operations.
The role is designed for a senior-level individual contributor with a proven track record in regulated environments (e.g., pharmaceuticals, medtech), who combines deep hands-on expertise with strategic thinking. This is not a people management position, but a highly autonomous role focused on defining and delivering end-to-end quality and compliance strategies in IT.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders, including board-level decision-makers and global regulators, to shape the future of quality engineering and compliance frameworks across complex, enterprise-level environments.
If you thrive at the intersection of technology, business, and regulation – and you're ready to lead by doing – this role offers both challenge and long-term impact.
Resposibilities
Strategic Leadership: Define and drive the long-term vision for IT Quality Engineering, integrating innovative testing methodologies, validation frameworks, and proactive compliance practices in line with evolving global regulations and business priorities.
Transformation Initiatives: Lead and architect large-scale transformation programs that revolutionize quality engineering tools, practices, and methodologies across the enterprise.
Executive Oversight: Guide key cross-functional initiatives with strategic alignment, efficient resource planning, and measurable business outcomes.
Innovation & Automation: Introduce cutting-edge technologies, automation strategies (including AI/ML), and disruptive approaches to maximise quality, efficiency, and risk mitigation.
Compliance Expertise: Influence global compliance strategies, advising senior leadership on regulatory matters and preparing for future industry trends.
Stakeholder Engagement: Build trusted partnerships with internal stakeholders and external experts to foster collaboration, innovation, and best-practice adoption.
Performance & Analytics: Design advanced measurement frameworks to showcase the ROI and business value of quality initiatives.
Talent Development: Define future organisational needs, mentor senior professionals, and cultivate a high-performance culture centred around continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making.
Requirments
Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Pharmacy, or a related field.
15+ years of progressive experience in IT quality engineering, testing, validation, and compliance, particularly in highly regulated industries.
Proven track record leading enterprise-wide quality transformations and delivering strategic outcomes at scale.
Deep knowledge of international regulatory standards (e.g., GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 1 & 11, MHRA) and global compliance expectations.
Expertise in building advanced testing and validation strategies using modern technologies and automation.
Strong executive presence, with the ability to influence and align diverse stakeholders at all organisational levels.
Skilled in translating complex concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership and regulators.
Experience applying Agile and DevOps methodologies in regulated environments.
Fluent in English at a professional business level. (min. C1)
