About the Opportunity

Join a rapidly growing organization where quality is at the center of everything we do. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in Quality Assurance within a highly regulated industry. You'll work closely with Quality, Production, and R&D teams, gain exposure to GMP-compliant operations, and play a key role in the launch and support of innovative product lines.

Unlike traditional production-floor QC roles, this position offers a broader quality-focused scope, including documentation review, product release support, deviation management, and cross-functional collaboration. If you're detail-oriented, enjoy problem-solving, and want to develop your career in pharmaceutical quality, this role provides exceptional exposure and advancement potential.

What You'll Do

• Support production activities by creating and managing work orders while ensuring all documentation is completed accurately and on schedule.
• Review quality records and documentation to support product release and regulatory compliance.
• Maintain product retain samples through collection, organization, tracking, and storage.
• Initiate and document deviations, nonconformances, and quality events while partnering with QA to investigate and implement corrective actions.
• Oversee production changeovers and address quality-related concerns involving labeling, component verification, and product quality.
• Inspect incoming materials and components, identifying potential issues and escalating concerns when necessary.
• Maintain detailed quality records and tracking systems that support audits, compliance initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts.
• Evaluate raw materials and finished products for adherence to established quality and sensory standards.
• Identify irregularities in product appearance and detect out-of-specification odors during sensory evaluations.
• Collaborate with Production, Quality, and R&D teams to support new product introductions and ongoing quality initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• Associate's degree, technical degree, or equivalent experience in a science-related field preferred.
• Experience working in a GMP-regulated environment.
• Strong attention to detail and documentation practices.
• Ability to identify and troubleshoot quality concerns while working in a fast-paced production environment.
