Quality Lead

Our Client is a growing cosmetics manufacturing company supported by a strong international mother company. They are currently setting up a "brownfield" operation and looking for an outspoken and hands-on Quality Lead.

In this role, you will manage both Quality Management (systems/audits) and Quality Assurance (testing/release). You will receive intensive training from our Quality Management department.
You will be the "firewall" of the company - ensuring that bad quality never hits the customer - while acting as a strategic partner to production, building bridges rather than just barriers.

What we expect

• Education: Trade or academic training in the field of chemistry/food chemistry/pharmaceutical engineering or a similar field is required.

• Experience:

  • • Proven experience in Quality Assurance within Household Products, Food, Pharma, or Cosmetics.

    • Strong experience in handling external audits (Retailers/Certification Bodies).

    • Experienced complaint handling using common methods of root cause analysis (8D reports, fishbone diagram/Ishikawa diagram, 5 Whys, etc.)

    • Technical Skills: Familiarity with basic laboratory testing, sampling protocols, and releasing products in ERP systems.

    • Language: Good written and spoken English skills are essential. Knowledge of German is considered a plus. 

• The Ideal Profile (Personality)

  • Outspoken & Assertive: You are not afraid to speak up. You have a strong backbone and can withstand pressure from production targets when quality is at risk.

  • Solution-Oriented: You don't just block processes; you explain why and help the team get back on track.

  • Diligent: You understand that quality is in the details, from the first raw material sample to the final documentation.
