Seeking Referrals: Future QC Leadership Opportunities – North West UK (Pharma/CMO)
As part of our ongoing succession planning for future senior hires, I’m looking to connect with and build a network of exceptional Quality Control leaders who may be open to opportunities in the North West UK — now or in the future.
We're especially interested in individuals with a proven track record in GMP-regulated QC environments, who combine deep technical expertise with strategic leadership capability. This is part of a long-term talent mapping process, and any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
We anticipate requirements for senior QC professionals who can:
Lead and inspire high-performing analytical teams
Oversee method transfer, stability studies, and QC operations
Act as the named QC Manager on MHRA MIA (IMP) licences
Represent QC during regulatory inspections and client audits
Drive continuous improvement through lean or Six Sigma
Partner with QA and GMP manufacturing to ensure timely product release
Degree or PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, or related field
Leadership experience in GMP Quality Control (pharma or CMO preferred)
Strong client engagement and regulatory inspection experience
Deep knowledge of analytical method development and validation
If you know a strong QC leader — or if you're one yourself — and open to confidential career conversations in the months ahead, I’d love to connect.
