Your role
As Digital Products Quality Engineering Lead, you will shape the quality strategy for digital products developed and maintained in an Agile environment. You will lead and develop a team of software quality engineers, ensuring that digital products meet the quality standards required by customers in regulated life-science environments. Working with global, cross-functional teams, you will champion built-in quality, shift-left practices, and continuous verification throughout the product lifecycle.
You will oversee end-to-end quality assurance and quality control activities, applying the four-eyes principle, managing escalations, and resolving issues with pace and clarity. You will establish and continuously improve software development processes, quality workflows, templates, and key quality indicators. By influencing engineering teams and strengthening their quality mindset, you will help turn complex challenges into practical actions that support faster go-to-market delivery.

You hold a bachelor’s or higher degree in Computer Science, an Engineering discipline, Information or Operational Technology, Digital and Data Management, Information Science or Management, Biomedical Science, Life Sciences, or a related field.
You bring at least 10 years of combined experience in software development or engineering, digital transformation, software quality assurance or control, and software quality management, ideally in a life-science or pharmaceutical environment.
You have experience managing or supervising teams and building quality engineering capabilities through coaching, mentoring, and competency development.
You have a strong command of the software product lifecycle, change management, Agile product development, DevOps, Lean, Plan-Do-Check-Act, software test automation, cloud platforms, and risk-based quality management systems; experience with Computer Software Assurance is an advantage.
You understand GAMP 5 supplier-focused principles and relevant software-related ISO standards, as well as quality expectations in regulated environments, including GMP, GCP, GLP, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
You have a proven track record in software operational controls, including change and incident management, audit support, supplier quality, periodic reviews, deviations, and corrective and preventive actions.
You are experienced in design reviews, verification activities, reviewing software engineering artifacts and testing evidence, managing defects, maintaining product traceability, and supporting audits or inspections.
You communicate clearly in writing and verbally, are confident using tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and project-planning applications, and are willing to travel globally when required.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
