The Role We’re looking for a highly experienced and driven Global Quality Manager to take ownership of our global quality assurance function across our medical device portfolio. This is not just a senior role—it’s a fundamental pillar within our business, with the opportunity to make a real and immediate impact. You’ll be at the heart of ensuring our products meet international regulatory standards, exceed customer expectations, and uphold the highest levels of safety and quality. Your leadership will shape the future of our quality strategy, driving excellence across every stage of the product lifecycle. In this pivotal position, you’ll develop and implement global quality strategies, lead audits, support site managers, and champion continuous improvement initiatives. Your expertise in ISO 13485 and regulatory compliance will be essential, but equally important is your ability to lead from the front, inspire cross-functional teams, and embed a culture of quality throughout the organisation. Key Responsibilities: * Lead global quality assurance strategies aligned with ISO 13485 and other relevant standards. * Oversee and support internal and external audits (MDSAP, GMP, ISO 13485). * Oversee ETO sterilization processes and batch release protocols across product classifications (medical devices, biocides, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals). * Maintain and improve quality management systems across product lifecycles. * Collaborate cross-functionally with NPD, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and procurement. * Manage supplier quality and ensure compliance of incoming materials. * Lead CAPA processes and root cause analysis using Six Sigma/Lean methodologies. * Support site managers globally to ensure consistent quality standards. * Conduct gap analyses for new acquisitions and implement quality improvement plans. About You: You’re more than just a quality expert—you’re a leader who’s passionate about making a real impact. You bring a strong foundation in medical device quality management, backed by hands-on experience with ISO 13485 and regulatory compliance. But what truly sets you apart is your ability to inspire and elevate those around you. We’re looking for someone who can mentor and develop a high-performing quality team, driving a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. If you're hungry to make a difference, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and lead from the front with confidence and clarity, this could be the perfect fit for you. You’ll be a trusted advisor across departments, a problem-solver with a strategic mindset, and a role model who leads by example. Your ability to communicate effectively, build strong relationships, and foster collaboration will be key to your success in this role. Essential Criteria: * Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience. * Minimum 3 years’ experience in quality management within medical devices. * Strong knowledge of ISO 13485, MDD/MDR, and GMP standards. * Experience with Class I and II devices (sterile and non-sterile). * Proven success in leading audits and CAPA initiatives. * Excellent communication, presentation, and organisational skills. * Fluent in English and proficient in Microsoft Office. Desirable: * Experience in biocides, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics. * Familiarity with AQL protocols and global quality strategy development. Why Join Vernacare?
