In this role you will be tasked with setting directions and delivering results that have a significant impact on our Quality processes. Additionally, you will be responsible for analyzing data to make sure we focus our efforts where the value and impact is most needed. In this position you are welcome to work from any IFP site in support of our global network and travelling to other sites should be expected aside from the virtual collaboration across sites.
