•    Drive quality system effectiveness and execution across the site
•    Partner cross-functionally with Operations, R&D, and other stakeholders to support product quality and compliance objectives
•    Lead a team of ~25+ quality professionals, providing direction, coaching, and performance management
•    Maintain strong organizational alignment and execution during a period of significant transition for the site
•    Foster a culture of accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement

What we’re looking for in you: 
Minimal Qualifications:
•    Bachelor’s degree in a science-related or engineering discipline
•    Minimum of 10 years of related functional quality engineering experience within a regulated industry (e.g., medical device)
•    Minimum of 5 years of direct managerial experience leading large and diverse teams across a highly matrixed organization.
•    Experience operating in an audit-facing environment with strong knowledge of quality systems and regulatory expectations
•    Broad understanding of end-to-end quality systems, including operations, design, and post-market activities

Preferred Qualifications:
•    Background supporting complex or transitional organizations, including site changes or end-of-life product/site strategies
•    Ability to influence and lead across multiple functions and stakeholder groups
•    Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills
