• Manage the end-to-end complaint process (supplier and client complaint), including intake, prioritization, communication, timely closure, trending and follow-up of actions.
• Investigate incoming customer complaints, coordinate input from relevant departments and ensure that root cause, product impact and required corrective or preventive actions are adequately assessed and documented.
• Draft, review, negotiate and maintain Quality Technical Agreements (QTAs) with customers, ensuring that quality responsibilities and expectations are clearly defined.
• Support the drafting and maintenance of global QTAs, where required, and collaborate with global and local stakeholders to achieve alignment across sites and functions
• Provide support with supplier management related tasks.
• Provide practical QA guidance and support for general quality-related questions, documentation and tasks, including activities within the Quality Management System.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and contribute to continuous improvement by identifying trends, escalating risks and supporting the implementation of sustainable quality improvements.

What You'll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in a pharmaceutical, life sciences, technical or other relevant scientific field.
• Relevant experience in Quality Assurance within a GMP-regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical products environment.
• Experience in preparing or reviewing Product Quality Reviews/ Annual Product Reviews or comparable periodic quality reports, with the ability to interpret data, identify trends and formulate clear conclusions.
• Strong investigation and root cause analysis skills, with experience in deviations, complaints, impact assessments and CAPA management.
• Knowledge of GMP, GDP and Quality Management System principles; experience with Quality Technical Agreements is an advantage.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write clear, accurate and audit-ready quality documentation and to work effectively with local and global stakeholders.
• A structured, detail-oriented and pragmatic approach, the ability to manage multiple priorities independently, and fluency in both Dutch and English.
