🔍 Senior QA Project Manager

QbD Group supports life sciences companies (pharma, biotech, medical devices and digital health) across the entire product life cycle. We are an international, fast-growing team of 750+ experts who value knowledge sharing, innovation and people.

To strengthen our Quality Assurance team, we are looking for a Senior QA Project Manager. In this role you will lead quality projects for our clients from start to finish, making sure they are delivered on time, within scope and budget, and in full compliance with GMP and regulatory requirements. Alongside your project work, you will coach colleagues, support business development and help grow our QA practice.

🏢 What you’ll be doing

Project delivery (approx. 80%)

• Lead QA projects end to end, from scoping and planning through execution and close-out (e.g. QMS implementation or remediation, inspection readiness, quality system optimization).

• Build and manage project plans covering scope, timeline, resources and budget.

• Act as the main point of contact for the client, keeping goals and expectations aligned and reporting on progress.

• Ensure deliverables meet GMP, data integrity and other applicable regulatory requirements.

• Provide expert advice and hands-on support on Quality Management Systems (QMS): CAPAs, deviations, change controls, complaints and other quality events.

• Oversee batch record review and support material and batch release processes when required.

• Contribute to audits and inspection readiness, and represent QbD during client and internal audits.

• Guide and coordinate the consultants working on your projects.

QA practice support (approx. 20%)

• Support proposals and RFPs: scoping, solution design, estimates and offers.

• Take part in steering committee meetings for your projects.

• Coach less experienced consultants and project managers in project and client leadership.

• Share knowledge and best practices through internal trainings.

• Help shape the direction of the QA team together with its management.

💪 What you bring

• A Master's degree in Pharmacy, Bioengineering, Biomedical Sciences, Life Sciences or a related scientific field.

• At least 8 years of QA experience in a GMP-regulated environment, including several years managing projects.

• Strong knowledge of GMP, quality systems, data integrity and regulatory compliance.

• Proven ability to manage scope, timelines, budgets and stakeholders.

• Strong client-facing and communication skills.

• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and coaching junior colleagues.

• A structured, detail-oriented mindset with a strong focus on product quality.

• Fluent in English and Spanish.

Nice to have

• Experience in a consulting environment.

• Experience in commercial manufacturing, ATMP or medical devices.

• A project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2 or similar).
