Head of Production

Working in a department lead position within production or quality (QC or QA)? This could be a perfect opportunity to step up.

I am partnered exclusively with an international advanced pharmaceutical company that are growing key leadership and management positions across their European operations.

This is a critical hire to oversee all onsite operations within a fully aseptic facility testing and manufacturing advanced pharmaceutical products.

Falling under the scope of this role will be production, quality control and engineering. Whilst the site remains relatively small, this does include both direct and indirect reports.

The core objective of this hire is to bring a strong leadership focus to the site. With a drive towards retention strategy, growth plans and current technical challenges to optimise delivery, this individual will be instrumental in ensuring the success of the site.

Whilst this could well suit an existing operations or site manager, it could also be an opportunity for someone to step up from a departmental managerial position (e.g. production or QC).

If you’re interested in joining a business with strong investment, growth plans and a genuine down to earth approach, please apply below or contact Mark Bux-Ryan for further information.

Key experience :

• Operational leadership experience of a GMP facility is essential it may not be a whole facility but instead a specific department / unit
• Direct management experience is crucial
• Good basis of understanding of production and QC activities from a hands on perspective is important
• Any experience of engineering and / or validation would be beneficial
