Job Description
Head of Quality, Galashiels (Hybrid)
Full time, permanent role
Salary - to be discussed
Our client is a fast-growing biotech and life sciences business. Following major success in Australia, the company is expanding into the UK with a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Galashiels, Scotland.
The Opportunity
Lead the Quality function for this brand-new UK site. This is a greenfield leadership role where you'll implement systems, achieve MHRA/GMP licensing, and shape the long-term Quality strategy.
Why this role is different
* Not traditional pharma - it's fast-paced, growth-driven, and dynamic.
* Balance compliance with agility; no unnecessary red tape.
* Build and embed the QMS from scratch.
* High visibility: reporting directly to global leadership.
Key Responsibilities
* Implement and lead the site's Quality Management System.
* Secure and maintain MHRA GMP licensing.
* Oversee product release, audits, and regulatory submissions.
* Partner with Production to enable compliance and efficiency.
* Build, coach, and lead a UK QA support team.
What We're Looking For
* MHRA/GMP audit experience (essential).
* Pharma, medical device, or regulated life sciences background.
* Greenfield setup or new-site licensing experience desirable.
* Flexible, pragmatic approach - enabler, not a blocker.
* QP experience helpful, but not essential.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK and should confirm their eligibility in their application.
