The posting

QPS Netherlands B.V. is part of QPS Holdings, a global CRO providing discovery, preclinical, and clinical research services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Our new Clinical Safety Laboratory in Groningen provides hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis testing to support clinical trials, patient safety, and data integrity.

We are looking for a hands-on laboratory professional with established experience managing staff to lead daily operations and help shape the laboratory’s continued development. Working closely with site leadership, you will develop colleagues, improve workflows, and expand laboratory capabilities while maintaining quality and compliance with QPS global standards. If you enjoy leading people and helping a laboratory grow, we would like to hear from you.

What You Will Do

  • Lead daily clinical safety laboratory operations to deliver high-quality, compliant, and efficient services.
  • Develop laboratory processes, systems, and workflows to support continued growth.
  • Supervise and develop laboratory staff, including hiring, training, coaching, and performance management.
  • Maintain compliance with applicable regulatory, quality, and safety requirements.
  • Oversee instrumentation, maintenance, and the introduction of new methods and services.
  • Coordinate laboratory planning and consumables to meet study and business needs.
  • Review study protocols and work with study teams, project management, and site leadership to ensure laboratory readiness and successful study execution.
  • Resolve operational and technical issues, drive improvements, and support responsive client communication.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Life Sciences or a related field.
  • 3+ years of relevant, hands-on experience in a regulated laboratory, ideally in clinical safety testing, a CRO, or a pharmaceutical setting.
  • Proven people management experience with direct responsibility for laboratory staff, including work allocation, coaching, staff development, and performance management.
  • Knowledge of laboratory quality systems and familiarity with GCP, ISO 15189, and applicable Dutch regulations.
  • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with a clear, collaborative communication style.
  • A hands-on approach and an interest in developing people and improving laboratory operations.
  • Business-level English and at least B1-level Dutch.

Relevant experience includes hands-on work in a regulated laboratory plus direct staff management beyond an academic research setting. Experience helping establish a laboratory or improve existing operations is an advantage.

Why QPS Groningen?

Join a collaborative, science-driven team supporting clinical research for global pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients. QPS combines the reach of a global CRO with the close working relationships of a local team, giving you the opportunity to shape a growing laboratory with support from experienced colleagues and direct communication with leadership. If you enjoy supporting people, improving processes, and helping a laboratory grow, we would like to hear from you.

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.
