Your education, experience and personal qualifications

We are looking for someone who is curious about quality and motivated by working with quality assurance in a complex supply organization. You may be a recent graduate or have a few years of experience from a quality-related function

The most important thing is that you want to work broadly with quality and develop your competencies within GxP, quality systems and qualification.

We imagine that you

• Have a relevant science, pharmaceutical, technical, health science or equivalent education.
• Have an interest in quality assurance and regulatory requirements.
• Work in a structured, systematic and quality-conscious way.
• Have an eye for details without losing understanding of the overall process.

• Thrive with cross-functional collaboration and be able to communicate clearly and constructively.
• Can communicate in writing and orally in Danish and English.

Experience with GDP/GMP, quality systems, deviations, CAPA, change control, qualification or validation is an advantage but not a requirement. The most important is your professional curiosity, your structured approach and your desire to learn.
