Job description

We are seeking a highly motivated Division Quality Program Lead to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives across our organization.

  • Drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders on scope, timelines, and execution strategy
  • Ensure compliance with quality systems, regulatory requirements, and change control processes
  • Oversee development of key documentation (e.g., work instructions, lot records, traceability documentation)
  • Coordinate site readiness, including materials, equipment, and trained personnel
  • Manage logistics and inventory movement to support relabeling execution
  • Identify and mitigate program risks, escalating issues as needed
  • Provide clear, structured updates to leadership and key stakeholders
  • Other responsibilities as assigned

What You Need

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in Quality, Operations or Manufacturing
  • Proven ability to lead cross-functional programs or projects
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Quality systems (e.g., NC/CAPA, change control)
    • Regulatory environments (medical device or similar highly regulated industry)
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and drive execution in a dynamic environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with relabelling, remediation, or field action programs
  • Experience working across global or multi-site operations
  • Familiarity with ERP systems and product traceability

What Makes You Successful

  • Strong leadership and influence skills across functions
  • Clear, concise communicator (comfortable with executive updates)
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Proactive problem solver who can navigate ambiguity
  • Results-driven with a strong sense of ownership

Why Join Us

  • Opportunity to lead high-impact, division-level programs
  • Visibility with cross-functional and leadership teams
  • Ability to shape processes and drive operational improvements
  • Collaborative, fast-paced environment with meaningful outcomes
