Your Role at Baxter

As the Quality GPS Lead, you will serve as a key driver of operational excellence within the Round Lake Drug Delivery Quality organization. You will partner closely with Quality Leadership, the Site Remediation Lead, and Operational Excellence teams to integrate Baxter GPS principles into quality operations in a way that strengthens performance while maintaining compliance within a regulated pharmaceutical environment.

In this highly visible role, you will establish the systems, routines, and behaviors that enable teams to identify problems earlier, solve issues more effectively, and sustain improvements over time. Success will be measured through stronger quality performance, increased organizational capability, improved operational flow, and the successful integration of continuous improvement practices into everyday quality operations.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Develop and implement tiered daily management processes that connect frontline quality activities with site leadership through clear communication and escalation pathways.
  • Create visual management systems and performance dashboards that enable teams to identify risks, address challenges proactively, and drive timely decision-making.
  • Coach leaders and teams in structured problem-solving methodologies, strengthening root cause analysis, investigation effectiveness, and recurrence prevention.
  • Partner with Quality, Remediation, and Operational Excellence leaders to ensure continuous improvement efforts support remediation objectives, compliance expectations, and long-term organizational goals.
  • Facilitate high-impact continuous improvement initiatives, including Kaizen events and value stream improvements that enhance quality systems, reduce cycle times, and improve operational effectiveness.
  • Build organizational capability by developing leaders, facilitators, and teams who can independently sustain GPS practices and continuous improvement behaviors.

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science, Pharmacy, Quality, Operations, Business, or a related field.
  • Eight or more years of experience in Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, Operational Excellence, Continuous Improvement, or related functions within a regulated industry.

  • Demonstrated expertise in root cause analysis, structured problem-solving methodologies, and coaching teams to improve operational performance.
  • Experience leading Kaizen events, process improvement initiatives, and cross-functional transformation efforts that deliver measurable business outcomes.
  • Working knowledge of pharmaceutical quality systems, including investigations, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), change control, and data integrity requirements.
  • Strong facilitation, influencing, communication, and change leadership skills with the ability to build alignment across functions and organizational levels.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or comparable advanced continuous improvement certification.
  • Experience implementing an enterprise operating system or production system within pharmaceutical, sterile, aseptic, biotechnology, or medical device manufacturing environments.
  • Experience supporting organizations undergoing regulatory remediation, compliance transformation, or significant quality improvement initiatives.
  • Knowledge of A3 thinking, PDCA, COMPASS, or similar structured continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Experience improving quality system performance metrics such as batch release cycle times, investigation closure timelines, CAPA effectiveness, or right-first-time performance.
  • Experience developing internal coaches, facilitators, and continuous improvement practitioners.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
