About You

We’re looking for a hands-on manufacturing leader, rather than a purely strategic or corporate operator.

You’ll ideally bring strong experience within GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing, with demonstrated responsibility for production teams and site operations.

Experience across PIC/S GMP, facility commissioning/scale-up, inspections, CDMO/contract manufacturing or multi-site operations would be particularly valuable.
