What We Recruit For
We specialise in placing mid-to-senior-level professionals and leadership roles across three core disciplines — each of which plays a mission-critical role in regulated industries:
1. Operations
From plant managers to global heads of manufacturing, we place operations leaders who bring structure, scale, and continuous improvement. Our international placements include:
-
Directors and VPs of Operations
-
Site Leaders / Plant Directors
-
Heads of Supply Chain & Logistics
-
Operations Excellence & Transformation Leads
-
COOs and regional leaders for manufacturing networks
These are individuals trusted to lead performance across facilities, geographies, and product categories — often in complex, global supply chains.

-
QA Directors and Heads of Quality
-
Global Quality Systems Leaders
-
GxP and GDP Compliance Specialists
-
QPs and Regulatory Quality Experts
-
Quality Operations Managers (single and multi-site)
Whether navigating FDA, EMA, or ISO audits, these leaders ensure that quality is built into every part of the organisation.
3. Regulatory Affairs
We help companies bring products to market — and keep them there — by placing regulatory professionals with deep international expertise. Common roles include:
-
Directors and VPs of Regulatory Affairs
-
Global RA Strategy Leads
-
Regional Regulatory Managers (EMEA, APAC, North America)
-
RA experts for MDR, FDA, PMDA, CFDA
-
