This position will be required to establish and lead the EU Quality Assurance (QA) group within Latham BioPharm Group, Inc. (Latham). This position will report to the US Director of Global Quality Services. Initially, this role will be directly involved with client deliverables/activities while building out the QA team. Latham is looking for an individual to coordinate and lead all compliance (GxP) activities (including Disposition, SOP writing, auditing, SME for QA activities).

A proven ability to lead and coordinate compliance activities through various stages of development is essential. The role requires demonstrated management, organization and leadership skills and the ability to take a risk based‑ approach to compliance across functions, manage long term goals, and manage a departmental budget.

The ideal candidate must be able to work independently and have excellent interpersonal relationship skills with flexibility to adapt to a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.

Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Create robust compliance strategies in each GXP area, working with vendors (both CXOs and QA providers), and internal/external stakeholders
• Create and maintain a quality management system for clients
• Maintain (and create where needed) SOPs and other documentation to support GXP compliance across all functions for clients
• Ensure clients have appropriate documentation or other systems in place to maintain appropriate compliance in all functions
• Conduct, lead or guide audits of internal and external parties as required for GXP compliance
• Perform due diligence assessments for external parties
• Build and manage the QA department at the EU location
• Assist clients in managing compliance
• Report on compliance activities, corrective actions (as needed) to members of the client’s Leadership Team as needed (potentially developing dashboards / summaries)
• Chair quarterly Quality Meetings and generate minutes
• Support and coordinate with the US team’s clients for overseas requirements and audits
• Perform related duties, special projects, ad-hoc work and/or other functions as required by the line manager.
