Job Description

Key responsibilities

  • Support global outsourcing projects in the Third-Party QA role, from onboarding through the full third-party lifecycle, in alignment with the global Technical Research and Development (TRD) outsourcing strategy.
  • Evaluate the compliance status of third parties and support their approval and ongoing quality oversight, including monitoring assessment due dates and required follow-up actions.
  • Establish, negotiate and secure final signatures for Quality Agreements with third parties, aligned with technical agreements, audit reports, Novartis procedures and applicable health-authority requirements.
  • Execute third-party quality risk assessments and performance tracking to enable continuous monitoring, early identification of negative trends, remediation planning, and escalation where required.
  • Create and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Quality Agreement templates and related documents that set consistent global standards for Third Party Management.
  • Lead or support global Third-Party Management initiatives, including global meetings, improvement projects, new processes, quality plans and quality-risk activities.
  • Act as investigator or approver for deviations, and as change originator, owner or approver within the relevant quality systems.

Essential requirements

  • Master’s degree in a relevant scientific or technical discipline, or a bachelor’s/technical qualification with more than five years of pharmaceutical industry experience.
  • Good knowledge of current cGMP and demonstrated ability to assess and evaluate GMP compliance.
  • Experience in technical development, pharmaceutical production or Quality Assurance.
  • Sound scientific, technical, and regulatory knowledge relevant to pharmaceutical development and external quality oversight.
  • Strong organisational, analytical, and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage activities against agreed timelines and standards.
  • Fluent written and spoken English; proficiency in the relevant local site language is desirable.

What you will bring

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.
