Help Safeguard the Quality of Medicines Used Around the World
Join a leading international pharmaceutical company where quality is at the heart of every decision.
As part of a highly experienced Quality Assurance team based in Luxembourg, you'll help ensure that pharmaceutical products meet the highest international quality standards throughout their lifecycle. Working in a
GDP and GMP-regulated environment, you'll collaborate with global affiliates, manufacturers, suppliers and regulatory stakeholders while contributing to the continuous improvement of an established Quality Management System.
This is a senior, largely office-based role offering broad international exposure, significant autonomy and the opportunity to influence quality processes across worldwide licensing, contract manufacturing and pharmaceutical distribution activities.
Your Role
As an experienced Quality Assurance Specialist, you'll take ownership of key Quality Management System activities while supporting compliance across multiple pharmaceutical entities operating under a shared quality framework.
You'll act as
Responsible Person (GDP) for one Luxembourg entity and
Deputy Responsible Person for another, ensuring business continuity, regulatory compliance and effective GDP oversight.
Working closely with colleagues across Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Supply Chain and Manufacturing, you'll manage quality documentation, CAPAs, deviations, investigations, change controls, complaints, technical agreements and inspection readiness. You'll also participate in supplier qualification, audits and continuous improvement projects while serving as a trusted quality partner for both internal and external stakeholders.
Although occasional travel for audits or partner visits may be required, this is primarily a
sedentary office-based position focused on strategic quality oversight rather than operational manufacturing activities.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking an autonomous senior QA professional who enjoys working in a highly regulated pharmaceutical environment and can confidently balance compliance with practical business needs.
To Succeed, You Should Have
- A Pharmacist qualification obtained in an EU Member State and eligible for recognition in Luxembourg under Directive 2005/36/EC.
- 8–15 years of Quality Assurance experience within recognised pharmaceutical companies operating under EU GDP and/or EU GMP regulations for medicinal products for human use.
- Fluent English (written and spoken), the company's daily working language.
- Professional proficiency (minimum B2) in French or German, required to obtain authorisation to practise as a pharmacist in Luxembourg.
- Strong experience with pharmaceutical Quality Management Systems, Quality Agreements, CAPA, deviations, change control, audits, supplier oversight and inspection readiness.
- The legal right to work in Luxembourg or eligibility to obtain a Luxembourg work permit.
We're particularly interested in professionals who are comfortable working independently, communicating with international stakeholders and managing complex quality documentation in a structured, compliance-driven environment.
Why Join Us?
You'll become part of a close-knit, multicultural Quality Assurance team within a respected international pharmaceutical group where quality is recognised as a strategic business function.
The company offers exposure to worldwide licensing, contract manufacturing and pharmaceutical distribution activities, allowing you to work on international projects with leading pharmaceutical partners while developing your expertise within a collaborative environment.
For candidates relocating to Luxembourg, the company can provide support with work permit procedures, diploma recognition and temporary accommodation during the probation period where applicable.
What You'll Bring
Beyond your technical expertise, you are proactive, organised and solution-oriented. You communicate confidently with colleagues at every level, enjoy working autonomously and have the judgement to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, compliant business solutions.
If you're looking for a long-term opportunity where your expertise will directly contribute to maintaining the highest pharmaceutical quality standards, we'd love to hear from you.
