You will translate complex technical and operational information into clear, evidence-based insights for stakeholders and leadership. By providing transparent reporting, identifying risks and removing blockers, you will support timely decisions and promote a proactive, preventive and first-time-right quality mindset.

Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary Quality Circles, establish ownership and drive resolution of recurring product quality and safety issues.
• Ensure appropriate containment measures are implemented and facilitate root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions.
• Monitor progress, risks, resources and budget needs; manage stakeholder expectations and escalate blockers when required.
• Verify the effectiveness and sustainability of improvements through audits, assessments, reviews and additional validation activities.
• Work with the Quality & Continuous Improvement Manager, Corporate Quality, other domains and enabling functions on common and systemic quality topics.
• Support customers and internal teams on critical concerns, contribute to quality training and act as a subject-matter expert in quality processes and structured problem solving.
• Occasional travel may be required.

What do we ask from you?

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree and at least five years of relevant experience, with fluency in English.
• Experience with audits and management-system standards such as ISO 9001, together with an understanding of risk-management principles.
• Practical experience with structured problem-solving methods such as 8D, PSDM, RATIO, A3, Event Mapping and Fishbone analysis.
• Strong stakeholder-management, influencing, analytical and communication skills, with the ability to provide clear, fact-based decision support.
• Experience in change management and improvement projects, with a proactive and results-oriented approach to competing priorities.
• The ability to assess business risks and opportunities and translate them into action. Distribution-domain, product-portfolio and B2B customer-facing experience is preferred.
