Cure Talent are proud to be partnering with a leading pharmaceutical CDMO as they continue to invest in the development and expansion of their UK manufacturing site. With a strong legacy in respiratory medicines and device-based drug delivery, this site is entering an exciting new phase of growth.
We’re looking to speak with both experienced and newly qualified QPs who are committed, driven and looking to take on a hands-on, commercially focused release role within a collaborative and well-established Quality function.
You’ll join an established team of five QPs, reporting into a supportive QA leader. The team includes a mix of seasoned and newly qualified professionals, creating a balanced environment where knowledge-sharing and continuous learning are part of the culture. This role is a backfill for a long-serving QP retiring at the end of the year.
As QP, you’ll be responsible for the certification and release of commercial batches for global markets. The number of batches per QP varies daily but typically averages 3–4, with the volume expected to grow next year as additional capacity comes online. A dedicated QA team handles the batch record reviews, allowing QPs to focus on decision-making, compliance and operational improvement.
Key Responsibilities:
* Certify commercial product batches in line with UK regulatory requirements.
* Support QA with investigations, documentation, and compliance projects.
* Contribute to site readiness for MHRA, FDA and customer inspections.
* Play a role in continuous improvement initiatives and risk assessments.
* Provide pragmatic input to cross-functional manufacturing and QA teams.
* Support internal audits, technical changes and regulatory alignment.
About You:
* Registered or eligible Qualified Person under current UK legislation.
* Background in pharmaceutical manufacturing is essential.
* Experience in commercial release required; IMP or CDMO experience advantageous.
* Open on dosage forms – broad experience or niche specialism welcome.
* Confident decision-maker with a proactive, practical approach to quality.
* Strong communicator with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
* QPs from diverse backgrounds encouraged – as long as your experience extends beyond parallel imports.
If you’re an experienced or newly qualified QP ready to take on a varied and rewarding role in a forward-thinking CDMO, we’d love to hear from you
