The job

As a Senior QP delegate, you will be responsible for delivering best-in-class quality assurance of our new manufacturing processes and drug product for clinical trials. In your daily work you will challenge and approve documents in connection with development, manufacture, stability, and status assignment of clinical batches produced in CMC and PS.

You will primarily be working in Måløv and must expect traveling days as we are outsourcing more and more of our clinical batch productions to different international Contract Manufacturing Organisations (CMO).

Qualifications

You hold a MSc in Pharmacy, Engineering, Biology, Chemistry or similar and fulfil the requirements from the Danish Health Authorities to become QP delegate.

Experience with qualification activities in aseptic production is a great advantage. The ideal candidate has been working with outsourcing/CMO collaboration and brings solid knowledge into the position.

The most important asset that you can bring to succeed in this job is a well-developed understanding of quality and a natural urge to handle quality issues at the right level, make decisions and follow-up on quality related problems.

You have a profound understanding of the important aspects of regulations, requirements and guidelines for pharmaceutical development and production and hence can navigate without adding complexity.

You are a self-driven and independent person with a high sense of responsibility and initiative who can prioritise your many different tasks. You thrive in a dynamic environment, where teamwork is on the top of the agenda, and like working with many different stakeholders – internally and externally.
