Your role

As Quality Assurance Specialist, you will step into a newly created role where you will help map, structure, and build quality ways of working across several Eastern European markets. Your focus will be to ensure compliant, practical, and effective GDP/GxP oversight for LEO Pharma affiliates and commercial or distribution partners, in line with applicable regulations and LEO Pharma global procedures.

Your primary tasks will be to:

• Map quality responsibilities, warehouses, 3PLs, wholesalers, partners, and key contacts across assigned Eastern European countries.
• Support and maintain local GxP Quality Management Systems, including training compliance, documentation, SOPs, work instructions, deviations, CAPAs, complaints, recalls, and returns.
• Act as the primary quality contact for warehouses, wholesalers, affiliates, and partner markets when quality issues such as temperature excursions, product breakage, deviations, complaints, or returns occur.
• Maintain quality agreements, support supplier qualification and audits, and help ensure inspection readiness across the region.
• Contribute to quality process improvements and global projects.

The position is based in Poland, preferably Gdansk or Warsaw, with flexibility for remote work in Poland and occasional travel within Eastern Europe, expected to be up to 20%.

• Degree in pharmacy, biology, chemistry, life sciences, or similar is preferred.
• Approximately 4 years of experience in pharmaceutical quality or distribution, supply chain.
