  • Lead deviations, OOS/OOT investigations, CAPAs, change controls, and risk assessments.
  • Own and maintain the QC Validation Master Plan (VMP) and ensure compliance with GMP requirements.
  • Lead periodic reviews and lifecycle activities for QC instruments, including qualification, calibration, and inventory.
  • Provide expertise within microbiological QC, environmental monitoring, and release testing.
  • Support troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and method validation/verification.
  • Coach and train colleagues within QC.
  • Represent QC during regulatory inspections and audits.
  • Perform and review analyses according to approved methods and procedures when required.

Requirements

  • BSc or MSc in microbiology, biotechnology, chemistry, or another relevant scientific field.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience within QC in a GMP-regulated pharmaceutical or life-science environment.
  • Strong knowledge of GMP and regulatory requirements.
  • Experience within microbiological testing and/or environmental monitoring.
  • Experience with method validation, instrument qualification, deviations, CAPA, change control, and investigations.
  • Experience participating in regulatory inspections or audits.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to lead technical activities and coach colleagues.
  • Excellent Swedish and English, spoken and written.

Who We Are Looking For

You are an experienced and quality-focused QC professional who takes ownership, works in a structured way, and enjoys solving complex technical issues. You are collaborative, confident in sharing your expertise, and comfortable supporting and coaching colleagues.

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.
