Escape Recruitment have been appointed as the exclusive recruitment partner to Breathe Life Sciences, part of the Bioxyne group - a global research and manufacturing business specialising in alternative medicines, premium health supplements and novel ingredients. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Australia, the company operates across the UK, EU, Japan and Australia, supplying both established brands and new innovators. The move into Scotland marks the next stage of growth, with this senior appointment set to help shape the site, team and standards from day one.
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.
